The 2017 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue hit newsstands on February 14th<\/sup> (what a Valentine\u2019s gift!!) and our friends at SI are already thinking about how they\u2019ll wow us next year with the 2017 Model Search. These gorgeous models, McKenna Berkley, Anne de Paula, Hunter McGrady and Lisa Marie Jaftha, were photographed wearing only signature SI body paint. Sports Illustrated fans voted for their favorite to be featured as a rookie in the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue with voting concluding at the end of March. Read on for the winner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Hunter McGrady<\/a><\/p>
\nGetting probably the most buzz is curvy, plus-sized model Hunter McGrady. The blonde, blue eyed California girl was shot in a tie-dye one piece that highlighted her curvaceous shape. The 23 year old is definitely not afraid to show off her body with some sexy outfits in recent outings.<\/p>\n

\n

McKenna Berkley<\/a><\/p>
\nNext up is McKenna Berkley, an athletically shaped Emily Didonato doppelganger. Same blue eyes, same sandy brown hair, same athletic figure. Shot in cutout one piece body paint that accentuated her toned midsection and long, lean figure, this model has the All-American look SI goes crazy for.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>
\n

Lisa Marie Jaftha<\/a><\/p>
\nLisa Marie Jaftha will slay you with her South African accent if nothing else. This beauty radiates energy in her deep V body paint suit even with minimal makeup and hairstyling. This girl can play sweet and innocent or completely sultry, sometimes in the same photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Anne de Paula<\/a><\/p><\/span><\/pre>\n
Last, and definitely not least is winner Brazilian Anne de Paula. This sexy stunner is slim with curves in all the right places and simply radiates confidence. With off the charts poses, I can\u2019t get over this beauty with the dark features and beautiful accent.<\/p>\n
