That’s a wrap! After several days of high-fashion displays throughout the city, Milan Fashion Week has drawn to a close. Countless designers showcased their spring/summer womenswear collections for 2027 throughout the weeklong event that spanned Tuesday, Sept. 22, through Monday, Sept. 28, and as a result, we’re left with plenty of outfit inspo for our wardrobes in the coming seasons.

While plenty of A-listers hit the various events throughout the city, so too did several SI Swimsuit models, some of whom took in shows from the front row, while others hit the runway in the latest and greatest designer fashions. Below, take a look at just a few of the highlights!

Meredith Mickelson

A rookie in the 2026 SI Swimsuit Issue, Mickelson walked the Gucci runway show on Friday, Sept. 25. The 27-year-old model looked stunning in a nude-colored single-shouldered gown by the Italian luxury fashion house, which was offset by some truly fierce eye makeup.

Nu, who has posed for four different SI Swimsuit Issues over the years (including the 2022 cover!), modeled a gorgeous white gown during the L'Oréal Paris “Express Your Worth Show” at Place Joffre yesterday. The 30-year-old model’s silk gown served up major bridal energy—appropriate, as she announced her engagement last fall.
