Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models Celebrate The Launch Of The 2013 Issue (PHOTOS)

The Sports Illustrated Models Give Us The Scoop

Last night Sports Illustrated celebrated the launch of their 2013 Swimsuit edition with a star-studded night in New York City. The red carpet saw second time around covergirl Kate Upton, the beautiful Irina Shayk and a bevy of other Sports Illustrated models.

Lucky for us we got to catch-up with some of the girls on the red carpet, and here are 6 interesting things that we learned:

  1. 26-year old Julie Henderson (who can now add designer to her résumé: She just finished her first swimwear line) told us the secret to a good beach wave: "you can't wash your hair everyday, so it's the next day texture and you should spray a little dry shampoo to give it that rough, rolling around in the sand look."

  • Canadian model Kate Bock has a major vice: chocolate.

  • First time Sports Illustrated model Katherine Webb's go-to makeup product is "Urban Decay All Nighter" to make sure her makeup stays on until the wee hours. And we trust her: She has been doing beauty pageants since she was little and was crowned Miss Alabama in 2012.

  • Although Jessica Gomes looked glam in a ruby colored jumpsuit, she said that her off-duty style is "leather pants, sneakers & an Alexander Wang T-shirt."

  • Genevieve Morton said the most important thing to do before the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition shoot is to get a nice tan because it makes everything look better on set.

  • Jessica Perez told us her biggest weakness: French fries. When she spots them on the menu, she feels compelled to order them. (Us too, Jessica!)
