It was a magical night out for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s biggest stars.
Models Camille Kostick and Kristin Harper were among the many celebrating the launch of the 2023 edition in New York Thursday night, including LSU superstar gymnast Olivia Dunn and SwimSearch finalist Gina Sims.
Kostek, who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2019, rocked a vibrant red dress that featured light blue detailing as she hit the carpet at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Joined by her longtime boyfriend, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski, 31-year-old Kostek delivered a gorgeous bouquet of red roses that the four-time Super Bowl champ, 34, gifted her on the big night. .
Harper, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit vet and fiancé of Lions quarterback Jared Goff, also dazzled on the red carpet, rocking a sheer wrap that featured a black crop top and mini skirt underneath.
Thursday was also a big day for Magda’s newest iconic face, namely Dunn, 20, who made her debut in this year’s edition.
The highest-paid female player in the NCAA designed a black lacy gown that featured a slit in the front.
As for the Sims, the mom wore a short navy blue dress with gold accessories.
The model and philanthropist, who is expecting a baby with her husband, golf superstar Brooks Koepka, is one of the seven finalists remaining in Sports Illustrated’s annual SwimSearch swimsuit competition.
The group will head out to Miami in June and will take part in the brand’s annual fashion show during Swim Week.
From there, the winner will be announced in September as the first Rookie of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue of 2024.
For Sims, this opportunity has been in the making for a lifetime.
“It was a dream I always wanted to pursue,” Sims told The Post in April.
“I applied last year and it just wasn’t the right time for me, but this year, let’s hope and keep the ball rolling.”
