While red carpet season lasts all year long, we’re especially enthusiastic when May rolls around, as the annual SI Swimsuit Issue drops and models nail their glamorous New York City launch party looks.
We’re always pulling inspo from the stylish ensembles that brand stars bring to the red carpet. Over the past several years, two specific hues have been having a major moment, and we’ve certainly been taking notes.
White screams “summer” and there’s nothing more timeless and formal event-worthy than a red hot gown. Here are some our favorite SI Swimsuit model red carpet looks from the past two years.
