“Aly and Simone represent all that is beautiful and strong and inspiring in women today,” said MJ Day, the Swimsuit issue’s editor, in a statement. “I love seeing them shine in an entirely different way in the Swimsuit issue and being able to share these gorgeous and powerful images with the world. These women, their beauty, and what they can achieve know no limits.”
