The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show returned to Miami Swim Week this year with its biggest production yet, bringing together models, athletes, influencers, reality stars, and entertainers for one of the most anticipated fashion events of the summer.
Held at W South Beach, the annual showcase has grown far beyond a traditional runway presentation and now serves as a celebration of fashion, confidence, and individuality.
This year's event featured a star-studded lineup that included Alix Earle, Ilona Maher, Brooks Nader, Bethenny Frankel, Hunter McGrady, Lauren Chan, and many more.
The 2026 edition also marked a major milestone for the brand, as the runway show was filmed as a television special that will stream on Hulu on June 9.
