NEW YORK — From the House of Mouse to the beach — Hilary Duff’s comeback now includes a coveted cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue.

The magazine revealed Tuesday that the Disney Channel alum, 38, was photographed in South Caicos as one of four cover models for the 2026 issue, along with influencer Alix Earle, Emmy winner Tiffany Haddish, and model Nicole Williams English.

“Our four cover models … redefine what you might expect from the SI Swimsuit Issue, and that’s exactly what makes this moment so exciting,” editor in chief MJ Day wrote in the issue’s Editor’s Letter. The goal is never sameness. It’s the opposite. These women possess relevance, resilience and range that extend far beyond what the world expects of them.”

Day praised the “Lizzie McGuire” star’s career trajectory as “its own form of quiet rebellion, in which she continues to reinvent herself, leaning into each season with confidence, humor and grace.”

This latest milestone follows the February release of “luck… or something,” Duff’s first album in over a decade, and just ahead of her largely sold out world tour, kicking off May 22 in Las Vegas.

The “Why Not” singer will also be playing New York City this summer, with two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 5 and 6.

The four women gracing this year’s Swimsuit Issue cover, as well as the 30 featured within the issue show “there is no single blueprint for success or happiness,” said Day. “It’s also a reminder that there is no expiration date. No rulebook. That evolution looks different for everyone, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful.”
