There's A 56-Year-Old In A Bikini In The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue

More of this, please.

 02/09/2016 03:56 pm ET

It's a really great day for inclusivity -- and Ashley Graham in particular. 

Following the exciting announcement Tuesday that the plus-size model was tapped to pose for the 2016 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, retailer Swimsuits for All announced she'll appear for the second year in a row in their ad in issue -- this time alongside model Philomena Kwao and 56-year-old model Nicola Griffin.

SWIMSUITS FOR ALL

The aggressively inclusive brand, which placed the first-ever plus-size ad in the magazine, hired the three curvy models to star in its #SwimSexy campaign, each wearing the same gold bikini.

SWIMSUITS FOR ALL

Griffin is the oldest woman to ever appear in the swimsuit issue, according to the brand.

"I am overjoyed to represent all women over the age of 50 and hope this campaign inspires them to feel confident in a swimsuit -- a gold bikini, no less!" she told The Huffington Post. "I am a proud mother and love that my body reflects that."

SWIMSUITS FOR ALL

Kwao, who told The Huffington Post she "never dreamed" she "would be a swimsuit model," shared a video from the undeniably sexy shoot, captioned "This is how we #SwimSexy." 

It doesn't even come out until next week, but we're calling this the best Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue yet. Be sure to check it out when it goes live online on Feb. 15

Christie Brinkley is like 63 and still looks really good in a bikini.

 I wondered that too. Maybe they have a really small budget?

 I tried on swimsuits yesterday - 2 bikinis, even.  I have a very hard time, and it is not fun.  My top is a much different size than my bottom, and I want a swimsuit with support in it.

I didn't like a two piece. Seemed like I was constantly adjusting it.

One piece wasnt going to come off when I jumped in.

Well, you looked great.

I was 42. I'm still nursing a little flab. But no stretch marks, yay!

I say if you have the body for the swimsuit, go for it. Age is just a number.

Nice contributions to the thread, ladies!
