SPORTS ILLUSTRATED 50TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE LILY ALDRIDGE, CHRISSY TEIGEN & NINA AGDAL GRACE COVER

Cheeky Girls! Lily Aldridge, John Legend wife Chrissy Teigen last pic and Nina Agdal go topless as they share Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover.

Smiling over their shoulders, the nearly-naked beauties showed off their all-over tans and tousled manes. Posing with her arm draped over her companion, Nina, 21, can be seen sporting a pair of ruched bottoms and gazing into the camera as she runs her hand through her beach-blonde hair.

Last year saw her first appearance in the prestigious swimsuit issue and she proved so popular she was named Rookie Of The Year.

Standing next to her, 28-year-old Lily Aldridge - who is married to Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill - glowed in an orange and pink number, a gold bracelet glittering on her arm, which was resting on Chrissy's waist.

It is the first time in history three beauties have featured on the cover, and it was unveiled before a rabid audience in Hollywood outside the studio where Jimmy Kimmel Live was being filmed, with the three models due to appear on the show to discuss their big career moment next Monday.
