Swimsuit Issue 2017
Ben Watts/SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

"I own a lot of them. I love different kinds of bathing suits but my favorite are one-piece bathing suits -- I just love them I don’t know why. My boyfriend is like 'Oh, no wear a two piece,' but I love them. I don’t care because the best part about it is you can wear it with shirts and go to brunch then you take off the shirt and go in the ocean."
