Overlooked in all the hype surrounding the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is the swimsuit. Turns out that one of the suits worn by cover girl Kate Upton — there are three different covers of SI’s 2017 swimsuit issue — was designed by Belmont resident Neide Hall. The suit, described by Upton (left) as a “white one-piece that covers absolutely nothing,’’ is produced by Hall’s company Charmosa Swimwear. (Model Nina Agdal is also featured in the issue wearing one of Hall’s designs.) “I’m so excited, I don’t have words to describe what I’m feeling,’’ said Hall, who started her company three years ago. “I’ll be sending gifts to Kate Upton and hopefully I’ll get to meet her soon.’’
