Hilary is full of energy.
On Tuesday, Hilary Duff was announced as one of four cover stars for the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
She stole the show in a plunging white one-piece swimsuit photographed by Kat Arlin of South Caicos.
The 38-year-old singer wore her blonde hair in waves and wore bronzed Charlotte Tilbury makeup.
Duff is making her debut in a flashy magazine, but it’s not the first time she’s posed without clothes. In 2022, she stripped off for Women’s Health Magazine, wearing only her multiple tattoos.
“I’m proud of my body. I’m proud of having three children in it. I’ve reached a point where I’m at peace with the changes my body has gone through,” she said at the time.
Then, in 2024, she and her husband Matthew Koma welcomed their third daughter, Towns. “I also want people to know that my makeup artist gave me a glow all over my body and that someone put me in the most attractive position.”
She expressed similar sentiments in Sports Illustrated, saying, “There was a lot of pressure I put on myself to look like everyone else,” adding, “Now I can look at my body and appreciate everything it has given me. I’m no longer constantly comparing myself to myself, and I feel like I’m better for it.”
It’s already been a blockbuster year for the former Disney Channel star.
Also covering the magazine are Alix Earle, Tiffany Haddish and Nicole Williams English, joining 2025 cover stars Salma Hayek, Libby Dunn, Jordan Childs and model Lauren Chan.
This year’s coveted glossy pages feature Bethenny Frankel, Hannah Berner, “Love Island USA” star Orlando Carsen, Alix Earle and more.
After returning to music at the end of 2025 with the singles “Mature” and “Roommates,” Duff aims to make a comeback as a pop star with the release of her sixth studio album in over 10 years, “Luck…Or Something,” in January 2026.
“I asked my husband to be my producer and I made the music that I wanted to make,” Duff told Sports Illustrated. “It’s complex and mature, but it represents who I am now, covered in sequins.”
The star begins his world tour next month, and if his on-stage performance is any indication, fans can expect Duff to turn up the heat even more.
