Sophie Cunningham is making headlines once again, this time beyond the basketball court. The 28-year-old guard had fans talking after her standout feature in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, where she showcased her athletic physique in a series of striking looks.
Posing in a range of swimsuits that highlighted both strength and confidence, Cunningham quickly became a talking point online, with fans flooding the comments with reactions.
Sophie Cunningham For Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
The four-picture post shared by a fan account opened with a bold beachside shot of Cunningham seated on the sand. With her legs slightly apart and hands placed behind her, she glanced over her shoulder, striking a confident pose that emphasized her rear.
In another frame, she was captured up close, widening her stance while leaning slightly to the side. One hand rested across her torso at her waist as she flashed a soft, relaxed smile.
The post also featured a shot of Cunningham reclining against a wall, one arm lifted above her head and her hip subtly angled, highlighting her lean yet sculpted frame.
A Head Turner In Sultry Swimsuits
Cunningham’s first look was a curve-hugging black swimsuit featuring a scooped neckline and moderately wide shoulder straps. The high-cut legs added length to her silhouette while maintaining a sleek, athletic feel.
Another head turner was a white bikini that contrasted beautifully with her sun-kissed skin. The top featured an underwire balconette design with softly gathered cups, while the bottoms were high-cut with a ruched front panel and thicker side straps.
Her third look included a sleek white one-piece with a scooped neckline and a metallic zip detail that allowed her to adjust the neckline. The high-cut design further elongated her frame while emphasizing her natural shape.
Fans Have Mixed Reactions
The post gained over 6,000 likes and nearly 200 comments as fans quickly shared their thoughts.
Some viewers were full of praise:
“Love seeing WNBA athletes shine like this. Sophie looks confident and powerful in these shots,” one admirer wrote.
“She looks old and hot at the same time. WNBA is good on her,” added another.
Others, however, were less impressed. “She’s mid and skinny fat,” one critic commented. “Man, why does she look so old in the face?” another wrote.
