As for Sims, the mom-to-be sported an off-the-shoulder navy blue mini dress and gold accessories.

The group will jet to Miami in June and will take part in the brand’s annual fashion show during Swim Week.
From there, a winner will be announced in September as the first Rookie of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 2024 issue.

“It’s been a dream that I’ve always wanted to go after,” Sims told The Post in April.
“I applied last year and it wasn’t my time, but this year, let’s hope and keep the ball rolling.”
