Camille Kostek attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 60th anniversary launch party in New York City on Thursday with her longtime boyfriend, former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. She wore a floor-grazing silver dress by contemporary womenswear designer Maria Lucia Hohan.
Dubbed the Reina gown, the look features ruched metallic plisse tulle and heart-shaped underwire cups in the boned bodice.
Kostek was one of the women who shot for three group covers of the 60th anniversary issue. Others included Martha Stewart, Brittany Mahomes, Kate Upton and Leyna Bloom. Kostek was named the co-winner of the Swim Search, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s first open casting call in 2018. She debuted in the SI Swimsuit issue in May 2019.
“5 years later I stand on the cover as a Legend,” she wrote in an Instagram post about the new cover. “Let this be a reminder that if you have a fire in your soul about a dream that feels far fetched … it’s not and it’s waiting for you to arrive as you are.”
For the 2024 issue, Ben Watts photographed Kostek in Porto, Portugal, with Olivia Dunne, Penny Lane, Christen Harper and Lorena Duran. Kostek wore a gown by Rhea Costa for the shoot.
Currently, Kostek is focusing on her own designs, which include a collaboration with Dune Jewelry and a swimwear line in collaboration with the brand Swimsuits for All.
The 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue marks the 60th anniversary of the publication. The issue, which will be available on Friday, features Gayle King, Kate Upton, Tyra Banks, Chrissy Teigen, Brittany Mahomes, Olivia Dunne and more.
