13 Things to Know About Hannah Davis, the New Face of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue
On Wednesday night, The Tonight Show revealed this year's cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue. Twenty-four-year-old model Hannah Davis follows in the footsteps of women from Elle MacPherson to Kate Upton, on the career-making cover. Photographed by Ben Watts (Naomi's brother) at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee, Davis wears a skimpy nude mesh bikini, one she pulls down provocatively for a near full frontal view. Not that the model minds or anything.
“I told my mom there was no way I'd get the cover," she said after the big reveal. “I told her, 'They do beaches for covers and I'm on a farm. There's no way. It's not possible.'” Adds Davis: I’ve always enjoyed the whole Swimsuit experience, and said that anything extra—a little square on the cover or anything like that—was a bonus. But still, this was my dream."
