Sports Illustrated's annual Swimsuit Issue [1] is eagerly anticipated each year, as the world waits to see which sexy star lands the coveted cover. This year, the special spot went to Hannah Davis [2]! The very first woman in a swimsuit hit the cover back in 1955, but it really all started in 1964 with a white two-piece — since then there have been plenty of reasons that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue made headlines [3]. Scroll through to see every cover since 1964 — and that one from 1955 too!
