It was a battle of the blondes on Saturday night as the likes of Kate Upton, Christie Brinkley and Brooks Nader hit the Sports Illustrated red carpet.
The sexy trio led arrivals at the Sports Illustrated Swim Island party at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, to celebrate the magazine’s 60th anniversary.
Upton appears on the cover of the 2024 Swimsuit Issue, which hit newsstands on May 17, featuring Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady and Gayle King.
For her grand entrance, Upton showed off her famous chest without a bra and in a tight blue backless dress.
The stunning dress touched the floor and hugged the model’s curves as she posed for photographers.
The model, 31, wore her blonde hair down and tied behind her ears to show off her sparkling crystal earrings.
She put on high heels and wore soft, glamorous makeup that enhanced her natural beauty.
For her 2024 cover, Upton looks flawless in a red and pink Normaillot bikini while standing with her arms above her head.
‘It’s about having confidence in your body no matter what you look like. Your voice matters. You can empower yourself if you’re confident,” she told CBS This Morning this week.
Christie Brinkley looked like pin-up perfection in a black polka dot dress.
The legendary supermodel, 70, carried a purple satin bag and wore shiny white heels that added height to her already statuesque figure.

Brooks Nader put on a busty display in a very low-cut white feather dress.
The 27-year-old model looked tanned and toned in the flirty dress that stood out against the black background of the event.
Her sandy blonde hair fell over her shoulders in loose curls and she posed with her bright pout slightly puckered.
OG supermodel Tyra Banks made a dramatic entrance, showing off her ample bust in a black bra and gold jacket.
The runway maven, 50, styled her top half in tight black capris and stiletto heels.

SI Swim editor-in-chief MJ Day explained on CBS Mornings earlier this week: ‘Listen, there are a lot of swimsuit photos in this issue.
‘We’re not short of swimsuits, but I like the idea of all these women coming together in a way that’s different for us.
“I want the world to realize that SportsIllustrated has evolved into a powerful vehicle for change with much broader reach.”
MJ added in a statement that he wanted to go all out for this year’s covers since it is the magazine’s 60th anniversary.
‘A 60th anniversary is something very important. “It may not be recognized as generously as the number 50, but we feel that we should also celebrate 60 wholeheartedly, for one simple reason: because the journey we have been on over the past 10 years is something we humbly consider revolutionary,” he explained.
‘We have destroyed stereotypes. We have embraced diversity. We have defended inclusion.
“With each passing year, we have challenged ourselves to push the boundaries and redefine what it means to be a Sports Illustrated Swimmer.”
The coveted issue went on sale on May 17.
