The model Valentina Sampaio has made history by becoming the first openly transgender model to be featured in Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue.
The 23-year-old Brazilian has been selected as a model for the issue that will be released on 21 July.
In 2017, Sampaio became the first openly trans model to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris and in 2019, she became the first openly trans model hired by Victoria's Secret for its Pink line. It came a year after the company's chief marketing officer Ed Razek told Vogue that trans people would not be cast in the lingerie brand's fashion shows "because the show is a fantasy." Razek quit the company in August of last year.

Pre-order Klayman’s It Takes a Revolution: Forget the Scandal Industry! (coming Oct. 27)
How to wage a peaceful revolution to restore rule of law, ethics, and morality to the nation
With a title that satirically mocks Hillary Clinton, this book details how our executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government have become thoroughly corrupt and failed the citizenry. This work is a call to arms during these times of crises, when government corruption has hit a “cancerous state.” The overriding message is that Americans should turn off cable news, get up off of the couch, and join the second American Revolution to restore the greatness of our nation in these perilous times.
