After two years of Kate Upton and her flawless bikini body, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue has decided to change things up a bit.
Models Chrissy Teigen, Lily Aldridge and Nina Agdal appear with their backs to the camera and heads tilted towards us in a sexy pose while wearing nothing but brightly coloured bikini bottoms: in other words ladies and gents, these gals are topless. (Someone turn down the heat in here!)
This is a special moment for the magazine: not only is it celebrating its 50th anniversary but it hasn't featured a trio of women on the cover since 1994 when Kathy Ireland, Elle MacPherson and Rachel Hunter posed together.
While Teigen and Agdal of appeared in the steamy issue before (making their debuts in 2010 and 2012, respectfully), Lily Aldridge is a newcomer and obviously super excited.
"I feel so lucky. It's the perfect introduction," said the mom. "It's just such a dream come true, and to just be a part of the 50th anniversary cover is just insane. I think I was in total shock when I found out!"
The issue hits stands on Feb. 18 but for now, let's bask in the glory of this super hot cover:
These ladies are in good company:
