Molly Sims<\/strong> certainly knows how to set the red carpet on fire.<\/p>\n

The model and entrepreneur, 52, who just returned to the Sports Illustrated <\/a>Swimsuit issue<\/a> for the eighth time, hit the issue’s launch party at the Hard Rock Hotel New York on Thursday<\/a> night in New York City.\u00a0However, it was her daring black outfit that captured the eyes of attendees. Sporting a sheer black dress that went from her neck to her toes, the blonde beauty kept a little bit covered up with strategically placed undergarments. She completed the look with her trademark long, blonde hair and chunky gold jewelry.<\/p>\n

She Appeared in Sports Illustrated in 2001<\/p>\n

Sims can offer plenty of advice to her fellow SI stars for 2026, who include fellow models like Haley Baylee<\/strong>,\u00a0Lauren Chan<\/strong>,\u00a0Jocelyn Corona<\/strong>,\u00a0Olivia Dunne<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Bethenny Frankel<\/strong>,\u00a0Tiffany Haddish<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Ilona Maher<\/strong>,\u00a0Hunter McGrady<\/strong>,\u00a0and\u00a0Brooks Nader<\/strong>. The blonde beauty has put in her time as a pro on the runway and on the beach. During a 2024 appearance on the\u00a09 to 5ish with theSkimm\u00a0podcast<\/a>, Sims opened up about deciding to appear in\u00a0Sports Illustrated\u00a0in 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anybody\u2019s listening to this podcast and they\u2019re younger: take chances, say yes, because you never know where yes is going or where it will lead you. Then you\u2019ll learn to say no in certain ways of not being taken advantage of or owning your own. Dig deep, work really hard, and don\u2019t always go in with the outcome. Try to go through the ebbs and flows and up the mountain and down the mountain because that\u2019s where your lessons are learned,\u201d Sims explained.<\/p>\n

Sims is Also a Beauty Entrepreneur<\/p>\n

Sims is far from just a pretty face. She’s the founder of YSE Beauty, which is designed for women 35+ seeking effective solutions without complicated routines.\u00a0Since its founding in 2023, the brand has won 11 awards and raised over $3 million in seed funding, before closing a $15 million Series A round led by Silas Capital, Inc.<\/a> shared back in April. The brand also landed a spot in Sephora in June 2025.<\/p>\n

Naturally, her turn in Sports Illustrated is the best advertising ever.<\/p>\n
