All eyes were on Megan Thee Stallion’s body-ody-ody at the 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue party on Friday night.
The 26-year-old “Savage” chart-topper — who made history this year as the first-ever rapper to cover the bikini bible — hit the red carpet wearing a barely-there Natalia Fedner gown constructed of completely see-through woven chains.
Styled with a matching silver metal thong, Megan’s dress required over 1,800 feet of chain to make, the designer revealed on Instagram, and was custom-woven to fit the musician’s curves.
The gown also featured a sexy hip-high slit held together with Swarovski crystal strands, which perfectly matched the sparkling stones on Megan’s Dolce & Gabbana heels.
“DAMNN 🤤,” the Grammy winner’s boyfriend, Pardison Fontaine, commented on her Instagram snap of the sheer, shimmering ensemble. “Wowwwwwww😍,” added Normani, while Megan’s fellow SI Swim cover star Leyna Bloom dropped a series of heart emojis.
Many fans also applauded the “Thot S—t” rapper for showing off her stretch marks in the open-sided dress. “It’s refreshing to see a natural body,” one wrote, while another quipped, “No Photoshop needed.”
“I want to thank all the strong women in my life who inspired me to love my body and live my best hot girl life. It means the world to me to be on this cover DREAM COME TRUE!!,” Megan wrote on Instagram while revealing her cover last week.
She fronts the iconic issue in a zippered nude bikini ($39.99) from her own Fashion Nova swimwear collection. Page Six exclusively reported that the rapper would grace the cover earlier this month.
“I was the little girl who was looking at Sports Illustrated like, ‘One day, this is gonna be me.’ And I manifested it. I wanted to do it and now I’m here,” Megan said in a behind-the-scenes video from her cover shoot.
Fellow SI Swim models Leyna Bloom, Tinashe, Brooks Nader, Olivia Culpo and Jasmine Sanders also walked the red carpet at the magazine’s event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
