LSU star, Angel Reese, stuns in bikini as she makes her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut

LSU star Angel Reese makes her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut.

The magazine announced Monday that Louisiana State University basketball star Angel Reese will be featured as a model in their upcoming SI Swimsuit edition.

The annual swimsuit issue has often included professional athletes in addition to models.

The timing couldn't be better. Reese, 21, is fresh off helping the Louisiana State Tigers win its first NCAA women's basketball championship last month and was named the "Most Outstanding Player" of the Final Four. Off the court, Reese is one of the top-earning college athletes with $1.3 million in endorsement deals for brands like Coach, McDonald's and Amazon.

Reese made her SI Swim debut just over a week after LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne announced her first photoshoot with the brand.

The self-described Bayou Barbie posed for photographer Yu Tsai, flashing her famous championship celebration, which included her pointing to her ring finger after the Lady Tigers’ 102-85 win over the Hawkeyes.

Reese modeled a variety of swimsuits in a behind-the-scenes video from her photo shoot with SI, which took place in Los Angeles.

“I am unapologetically Angel,” she said in a video from the shoot. “I am a queen. I am confident. I am strong. I am who I am.”

Reese went on to explain that she is proud of her body. The 6-foot-3 Baltimore native also found herself at the center of controversy during the final week of the tournament, after she and Iowa's star guard Caitlin Clark's taunting towards one another raised a debate among fans about sportsmanship. She also initially declined an invitation from President Joe Biden for a traditional visit to The White House after First Lady Jill Biden floated the idea of inviting Iowa, the losing team, for a visit as well.

The LSU women’s basketball star, who propelled the Lady Tigers to their first NCAA championship in program history last month, traded in her uniform for a purple two-piece for this year’s 2023 SI Swimsuit issue, the brand announced on Monday.
