Aly Raisman Wears Nothing But Words For 'Sports Illustrated's Annual Swimsuit Issue

Aly Raisman steps out in a sparkly dress at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2018 Launch Event held at Magic Hour at Moxy Times Square on Wednesday night (February 14) in New York City.

The two-time Olympic gymnast poses in nothing but words in the annual issue, and hopes to empower women through it.

“Women can be intelligent, fierce, sexy, powerful, strong, advocates for change while wearing what makes them feel best,” Aly shared with the pic on Instagram.

She adds, “The time where women are taught to be ashamed of their bodies is OVER. The female body is beautiful and we should all be proud of who we are, inside and out.”

Women do not have to be modest to be respected– Live for you! Everyone should feel comfortable expressing themselves however makes them happy. Women can be intelligent, fierce, sexy, powerful, strong, advocate for change while wearing what makes them feel best. The time where women are taught to be ashamed of their bodies is OVER. The female body is beautiful and we should all be proud of who we are, inside and out. Thank you so much @si_swimsuit @mj_day @darciebaum @ja_neyney @taylorbphoto & the rest of the team.
