Guest
Kathy Jacobs @ageisbeauty
made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut as part of the 2020 model search. Kathy was a petite model in the '80s with Ford Models and came to the open casting call for SI Swimsuit at the age of 56. In the past year, she did a Thirdlove campaign with her daughter Abigail, a Miley Cyrus video, a Beauty Blender job and Soji beauty work. Kathy is an outspoken advocate for beauty at every age.
And 57-year-old Sports Illustrated bikini model Kathy Jacobs is the silver-haired mother of the movement.
“Old is the new hot,” a smiling Jacobs told The Post.
The 5-foot-2 married mom of one is featured in SI’s 2021 Swimsuit edition, and is the oldest woman to ever be spotlighted in the issue’s 57-year history. (Sports Illustrated’s first Swim volume hit shelves in 1964 — the same year Jacobs was born).
“I’m closer to 60 than I am to 50 at this point,” said the small town Texas girl-turned-Calabasas, California resident. “So to be in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine representing ladies my age is just the best feeling in the world.”
