We absolutely love the modelling industry and there are so many different events over the course of the year which get us very excited, with a number of top fashion shows, as well as the release of some of the best publications in world. Which brings us to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which is one of our highlights of the year, with just a few days to go until we get this years publication.

Everyone loves to find out who will appear on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2018 cover but we actually love getting to see the new models who are making their debut in the publication. This year, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2018 has done things a little bit differently, by revealing all of the new models this year, giving us the Rookie Class before the publication has even been released, as well as opening up the voting for the Rookie of the Year.

Well, voting has now closed and it has been confirmed that the stunning American supermodel Alexis Ren has been voted as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2018 Rookie of the Year. There was plenty of stiff competition this year, with Alexis going up against the likes of Chase Carter, Ebonee Davis, Robin Holzken, Hunter McGrady, Sailor Brinkley Cook, Olivia Culpo, Raven Lyn, Jasmyn Wilkins, Georgia Gibbs, Anne de Paula, and Kate Wasley.

We have to admit that, while Alexis Ren is a great choice, we think that any of these beautiful women would have been perfect as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2018 Rookie of the Year. Now we cannot wait to get our hands on the publication when it is finally released.
