As announced on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show which aired on Tuesday, the 24-year-old blonde bombshell will appear on three separate covers of the famed magazine, which hits newsstands across the country on Thursday.

The 24-year-old model joins 63-year-old model Christie Brinkley and, reportedly, tennis star Serena Wiliams as this year’s cover models. Last year, the publication also issued three covers, featuring three different stars; Ashley Graham, Hailey Clauson and Ronda Rousey.
Upton is the fourth woman in SI Swimsuit history to appear on the issue’s cover on three separate occasions. She joins the likes of Kathy Ireland, Tyra Banks, Cheryl Tiegs and Elle Macpherson.
The magazine helped launch Kate’s career when she first appeared in 2011 and was named Rookie of the Year honor.
