To kick off the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2010 reveal, the gorgeous supermodels who grace the cover and pages gathered for a launch party in New York City on Tuesday, February 9, 2010. Front and center was Brooklyn Decker, who landed on the cover. She likened the experience to being named Super Bowl MVP.
The actual cover reveal took place on Monday night, when David Letterman revealed Decker on a huge Times Square billboard marquee – check it out here.
Last year’s cover model Bar Refaeli was on hand, clutching an open centerfold picture from her SI photo shoot.
Four Dancing with the Stars pro’s were included in the issue. Cheryl Burke, Edyta Sliwinska, Anna Trebunskaya and Chelsie Hightower posed with their former celebrity partners Maurice Greene, Lawrence Taylor, Chuck Liddell and Ty Murray – check out their HOT pics below.
We’ve also got Sarah Brandner, Abbey Clancy, Bethany Dempsey and Melissa Satta wearing absolutely nothing but body paint.
U.S. Olympic athletes Lindsey Vonn, Hannah Teter, Clair Bidez and Lacy Schnoor also got into the bikini act, timed to coincide with their upcoming Vancouver adventure, where skier Vonn is expected to be a breakout superstar – more photos here.
Check out all of the lovely ladies in our gallery below. We’ve also included the 2010 SI Swimsuit video – showing many of the voluptuous women in their super sexy bikinis. The front end of the video is a commercial of sorts – the real action starts at 1:45 on the slider. The second video is ALL Brooklyn!
