How low can they go! Hannah Davis is named Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition's cover girl of the year in one of the magazine's most revealing shots yet
There may be no beach, but Sports Illustrated's newest star gives fans plenty to look at.
Model Hannah Davis was revealed late Wednesday night as the cover girl of the famed swimsuit edition of the sporting magazine.
While the edition is always sexy, the 24-year-old model turned up the heat as she showed off plenty of the skin on the front of the magazine in one of the raciest covers to date.

The American model - and girlfriend on Yankee's legend Derek Jeter - left little to the imagination in the image that landed her the coveted top spot in the annual release.
In the image - which will no doubt adorn thousands of teenage boys' walls around the globe - Hannah wears a rather small black and nude lace bikini.
But while tiny two pieces are standard issue on the famed cover, her pose is anything but run-of-the-mill.
'Dream come true': While the cover may shock some, the Virgin Islands-born model (pictured July) was rather shocked herself when the Sports Illustrated team revealed she was its 2015 cover girl and burst into to tears
In the cover shot, the sun kissed brunette provocatively pulls down her bikini bottoms revealing the top of her nether regions.
Clearly very prepared for the pose, the 24-year-old fortunately shows nothing else but an all over tan.
The very risque pose - which was shot on a blackberry farm - was the work of celebrity photographer Ben Watts, who is the brother of acclaimed actress Naomi.
The big reveal: While an emotional Hannah was told on Tuesday, the public was let in on the big secret on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night
Ta-da! With the help of announcer Steve Higgins, Jimmy pulled down a curtain to reveal a giant version of magazine cover
Not afraid of a pun, the picture is captioned on the cover: 'Hannah Davis goes down South to a blackberry farm in Tennessee.'
While the cover may shock some, the Virgin Islands-born model was rather shocked herself when the Sports Illustrated team revealed she was its 2015 cover girl.
In a video posted to the magazine's website, the 24-year-old was left in tears when told on Tuesday.
Something is different: On cue, a now dressed Hannah emerged from backstage in a black romper
She said: 'No, are you sure? I'm shaking, seriously this is a dream come true.'
'I told my mom there was no way I'd get the cover, I told her ''They do beaches for covers and I'm on a farm. There's no way. It's not possible.'''
'I've always enjoyed the whole Swimsuit experience, and said that anything extra - a little square on the cover or anything like that- was a bonus. But still, this was my dream.'
Thanks for coming: The model jokingly asked Steve to 'get out of here' and head out on the town
The public was let in on the big secret on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night.
Jimmy Fallon teased the crowd: 'You know, they always keep the cover of the swimsuit edition a big secret and it's almost impossible to get an advance copy of the magazine.
'But this is The Tonight Show. And we're in Los Angeles. We like to make the impossible possible. Let's bring it out! Guys, behind this curtain is the official never-before-seen top secret cover of the 2015 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. And tonight, for the first time, we're going to unveil it.'
With the help of announcer Steve Higgins, Jimmy pulled down a curtain to reveal a giant version of the cover.
Lucky man: The 24-year-old is the girlfriend of former Yankee Derek Jeter, pictured here on Sunday
On cue, a now dressed Hannah emerged from backstage, but instead of talking about the honour she grabbed announcer Steve and walked off joking, 'Did you want to get out of here?'
Hannah's top spot follows last year's models Lily Aldridge, Nina Agdal and Chrissy Teigen, who starred on the 50th anniversary issue of the magazine, which was the first cover to have three models.
Prior to that Kate Upton landed the cover two years in a row.
The 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue is online this Monday with the print edition on hitting newsstands the following day.
