Chrissy Teigen Stuns In First Sports Illustrated Shoot Since Giving Birth

Chrissy Teigen , 2014’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover girl , has made her return to the magazine’s famous pages. 

The supermodel and mother of one slipped into a bikini for her first swimwear shoot since giving birth to baby Luna last April. As expected, she looks gorgeous in the first image , released by the magazine on Instagram Wednesday.

While the “Lip Sync Battle” host was a little nervous about the shoot, she explained that everyone involved would embrace her body “no matter what’s happening and embrace the changes.” 

“It took James [Macari] shooting it and and for me to see the photos to know that it was going to be OK,” Teigen said of posing for the shoot. “Oh my gosh, I was not prepared for that.” 

Teigen admitted that, as a mother, it was nice to be “back in [her] element” during the shoot. 

“It’s so important to my well-being that I come out here and am able to do this, and do something I’m proud of,” she said.
