Hailey Clauson Makes Her Return To Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition

Hailey Clauson is back.

This year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition will feature a large amount of rookie models. But one familiar face is making her way back into the popular publication in Clauson.

She was a pat of the SI Swimsuit team in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, before taking the past two years off.

“Im so excited to announce that after a few years away, I am back for the 2022 issue of @si_swimsuit ! It feels better than ever to be back in the issue because of the woman I have become,” Clauson wrote to Instagram. “The first time I shot for the SI swim issue I was only 18 years old and at 20 years old SI announced that I was one of the cover girls for the 2016 issue!!!  I stand before you now only few a months away from turning 27. The change you make mentally from your early 20’s to late 20’s is tremendous! I have literally grown up with the magazine! My journey in life has not been easy nor perfect but Im so thankful for what it has made me into today. This year was extra special for me because I have finally become the woman I’ve always inspired to be and grab what I want in life.

Hailey Clauson continued:

“To me this issue represents owning all of the things that make you unique and not being afraid of being who you are. SI was one of the first platforms to embrace me for who I am and for my body as it is. Thank you @mj_day , the SI team, and the women who have paved the way in past SI issues for giving me and my fellow SI swim girls a platform and embracing us for who we are! SI has built a community of such amazing women that empower one another and Im so proud to be a part of it! 2022 is the year to be the boss ass bitch that I always dreamed of becoming!”

Hailey Clauson turned 27 earlier in the year, and appears to be ready to get back into the modeling game.
