Danielle Nicole Herrington[5] (born May 26, 1993) is an American model known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, including the cover of 2018 edition where she became the third African-American woman to appear on the cover — after Tyra Banks (1997) and Beyonce (2007).[6]

Background

Herrington was raised in Compton, California, but rose to fame after becoming a resident of Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood.[7][8] Growing up, she attended Gahr High School in Cerritos, California, before dropping out her sophomore year to be homeschooled, so she can focus on her modeling career.[7] Herrington came from a working family.[9] She describes her childhood as normal and says she was focused on school until college.

Career

Herrington started envisioning herself as a professional model at the age of 8.[10] She attended John Casablancas' modelling school at age 10 or 11 with the encouragement of her mother.[8] She began modelling at age 13,[6] and Herrington was featured in GQ in November 2016 before she had 10,000 Instagram followers as an Instagram model on the rise who had already done jobs for Victoria's Secret.[10] She first appeared in the Swimsuit issue in 2017, which she booked four months after moving to New York City to pursue her career at age 21.[11][12] The 2017 Swimsuit issue photoshoot, which took place in Fiji, was her first major photoshoot.[7] Her first runway performance was her New York Fashion Week debut at the Philipp Plein's spring show in September 2017 along with Irina Shayk and Adriana Lima.[7] She was selected as the SI Swimsuit issue cover model for the 2018 issue,[13] becoming the third black woman to appear on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue—after Tyra Banks (1997) and Beyonce (2007).[6] Herrington shot the 2018 Swimsuit Issue in the Bahamas.[6] She walked the runway for Plein the second time for its Fall 2018 show.[6]
