2. Heidi Klum
Host of Project Runway and easily one of the most famous models in the world, Klum always stood out when appearing in SI’s annual.

1. Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks has transitioned from modeling to building a massive empire and positioning herself as the heir apparent to Oprah Winfrey. She was the first African-American to grace the cover of the SI swimsuit issue, and that cover might just be the most iconic in the history of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. That’s good enough for us when it comes to our top spot, although the number one slot certainly could have gone to any number of the women that made up this list!

Tyra Banks? The hottest? Are you people off your meds?
As a professional photographer for 40 years, I’m amazed at some of the so-called hot women, or was, until I found out the whole SI issue is run by WOMEN. Not one guy works in that department, except an occasional hired for the day photographer. Women pick the models and the clothes. And you know women don’t know beauty. Look at what they wear! Ask a guy in a bar. He’ll tell you who’s beautifu.

While these women are all amazing, the fact that Laetitia Casta and Claudia Schiffer are not on this list totally discredits it… Shame!!!

Hey, you include celebrity and NON-SI Models such as Beyonce and Anna K., but yet you leave out such legendary beautiful women such as Claudia Schiffer, Stacy Williams and Laetitia Casta? Wow, I can’t understand this list with so much bias against SI models.

Giselle and Claudia never appeared in the SI Swimsuit. Niki Taylor did not appear on the cover of the 1998 issue (that was Heidi Klum). Overall, you should have freshened-up on the Swimsuit Issue before creating such a list…so many beauties from years past left of the list, such as Laetitia Casta, Stacey Williams, Manon von Gerkan, Eva Herzigova, Ashley Richardson, Angie Everhart, Estelle Hallyday, Judit Masco, and Ingrid Seynhaeve, to name just a few. If you’re going to create an “all-time” list, you need to look a more than the past couple of years issues.

How on earth can Elle Macpherson only be 21 on your list. She has the most covers of anyone…and hello look at her. Switch Tyra to 21 and Elle to #1.

What about Vendela Kirsebom? This list has a lot of great looking women, but it is definately not the greatest ranking job.

Tyra Banks #1??? No, no. Sorry, she’s about as plastic as they come.

No Stacy WIlliams (as cited above) is bad enough, but no Ashley Montana/Richardson is a travesty. She might be the curviest woman to ever grace the pages of the SI SE.

I agree with most of your selections, but not in the same sequence. My top 5 would be: 1) Marisa Miller; 2) Yamila Diaz-Rahi; 3) Petra Nemcova; 4) Paulina Porizkova; 5) Cheryl Tiegs. You also blew it on Julie Henderson’s photos. Most of them aren’t even of her. My guess for 2010 cover model would be: Daniella Sarahyba; Anne Vyalitsyna; Brooklyn Decker. As we all know, it’s a well kept secret until it’s actually announced.

NO STACEY WILLIAMS!?!?!?!? No, I’m sorry without her your list is just totally incomplete. Not only should she have been on the list she should have been at least in the top five. Now go back and do it again and this time, GET IT RIGHT!!!!
