It was not clear Monday if Aden would be the first Muslim model to appear in the swimsuit issue, which has been published for decades. But the magazine said she would be the first Muslim model to appear wearing a burkini, a full-body swimsuit worn by some observant Muslim women. Representatives for Aden and the magazine did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment Monday evening. The swimsuit issue will be on newsstands May 8, Sports Illustrated said in a statement. “Whether you feel your most beautiful and confident in a burkini or a bikini, you are worthy.”In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Aden described the culture shock she felt upon her arrival in the United States.
