Brianna LaPaglia, known as ‘Chickenfry,’ shines on the Sports Illustrated cover, embracing her new chapter post-breakup with Zach Bryan.
For the shoot, she soaked up the sun at The Austin Estate in California, rocking some stunning swimwear. The photos were taken by Katherine Goguen, and they really turned out amazing.
Interestingly, Brianna shared that her ex, Zach Bryan, once thought the magazine was too “trashy” for her. Now, she sees this cover as a bit of karma. Talk about a glow-up!
In one of the shots, she’s wearing a unique woven bikini from Isa Boulder, and in another, she flaunts a snakeskin-printed two-piece from Same. She’s really owning her look.
After her breakup with Zach, Brianna wants to reclaim her body and voice. She said this cover is more than just looking good; it’s about taking back control of her life.
She mentioned, “This is my body; my body isn’t that experience.” It’s clear she’s on a journey of self-empowerment, and it’s inspiring to see.
She also joked about how this shoot is a “petty” way to say “screw you” to her past. It’s like she’s saying, “Look at me now!”
Fans are totally here for it, too. They flooded the comments on Sports Illustrated’s post, cheering her on. One fan said, “SHE IS THE MOMENT!!” and another added, “So proud of her!”
On January 5, she also attended the Golden Globes in a stunning gown, showing off her style and confidence. She’s really stepping into her own this year.
Brianna is all about focusing on herself in 2025. She said, “I want to surround myself with good people.” It sounds like she’s ready for a fresh start!
