The women of the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue celebrated the magazine’s launch at a red-carpet event at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City on Thursday, and most of them spoke to the press after posing for photos.

Olivia Ponton, Ellie Thumann and Brooks Nader each stopped to chat with E! News and shared their best wisdom for enjoying a hot girl summer this season.

“To be unapologetically yourself and to just like, do it,” Ponton, who returned for her second year with the publication, stated. “Do it for the plot, do it for whatever.”

Thumann, a rookie in this year’s magazine, went practical with her advice.

“Wear your sunscreen,” she said while pointing at the camera.

One of four cover girls this year, Nader did not mince words when it came to her thoughts.

“Hot girl summer, I would say dump him if you don’t want to be with him, do you,” she offered.

The clip, which was posted to the official E! News Instagram account, garnered lots of feedback in the comments section.

“Love all these amazing women ❤️❤️,” Anna Redman applauded.

“live love ellie,” someone else quipped.

“Here for Olivia 😍,” another fan noted.

“Oh HIII❤️❤️❤️❤️,” Nader replied.
