Candice Swanepoel, Kate Upton, and Daiane Sodre grace the cover of V magazine’s latest issue, “V149: Bombshells In The Wild,” showcasing their stunning figures in black Alo Yoga activewear.
The cover image, captured by photographer Alvaro Beamud Cortes, features the trio on a beach, suspended from stationary gymnastics rings. Swanepoel, a South African native, flaunts her toned tummy in high-waisted leggings and a matching sports bra, with her golden blonde locks spilling around her face.
In the accompanying interview, Swanepoel reflects on the photo shoot, describing it as “a really pleasurable day.” Upton, donning a plunging romper, adds that the beautiful weather and the comfort of workout clothes contributed to a great mood. She also notes a recent shift towards more creative editorial shoots, expressing her preference for creating something unique rather than simply being herself in front of the camera.
Swanepoel, Upton, and Sodre are joined by Brazilian models Isabeli Fontana and Maria Carolina Klaumann, who grace an alternative cover draped in dramatic gothic ensembles. Looking back on the shoot, Fontana describes it as a day that surpassed her expectations, feeling revitalized by the group’s creativity and professionalism.
Discussing the evolving nature of the modeling world, Swanepoel shares her thoughts on adapting to change. She gives an example of feeling more comfortable with a 12-hour photoshoot than creating a “Get Ready With Me” video. Swanepoel rose to fame as a top model with Victoria’s Secret in the 2010s after being scouted at a flea market in 2003.
Upton echoes Swanepoel’s sentiments about the industry’s evolution, noting the impact of social media and the shift towards analytics. She expresses her preference for the glamour of old-school content creation while acknowledging the raw and real-time nature of modern content.

In the accompanying interview, Swanepoel reflects on the photo shoot, describing it as “a really pleasurable day.” Upton, exuding elegance in a plunging romper, adds, “It was such a lovely day, which instantly puts you in a good mood. Plus, we were wearing workout clothes, so there’s a comfort level that you don’t always get on high fashion shoots.”
Upton also shares her thoughts on the recent shift in editorial shoots, noting, “I feel like, in the last couple of years, a little bit of creativity has been lost… There have been so many recent shoots when they’ve been like, ‘Just come and be yourself.’ And I think, I don’t really want to come on set and be me. I’m here to create something. And that’s really what this shoot felt like.”
Joining the stunning trio are Brazilian models Isabeli Fontana and Maria Carolina Klaumann, who grace an alternative cover for the issue. Draped in dramatic gothic ensembles, they bring their own brand of beauty and charisma to the forefront.
