Lauren Chan sends a powerful message with her tank top... after posing in a bikini for Sports Illustrated


Lauren Chan commanded attention at the opening of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Social Club where she wore a tank top with a provocative sating on the front of the shirt.

The fact is, while many celebrated Lauren's SI cover as a victory for diversity and inclusivity there was still a small but vocal outcry over her sexually orientation and swimsuit size. Lauren is one of four women gracing the cover of this year’s issue, joining Salma Hayek, gymnast Jordan Chiles, and college athlete Olivia Dunne. Chan took to social media after someone left a dismissive comment on a photo from her return to the magazine, which shows her posing on a Bermudan beach in an off-white lace two-piece.
