SI Swimsuit style

SI Swimsuit model Katie Austin took to Instagram this week to post a groovy video of her dancing alongside fellow SI Swimsuit models Nicole Williams English and Ellie Thumann in the bathroom. While some were focused on their cool moves, the fashionista crowd out there couldn’t help but be entranced by all those gorgeous evening gowns. Williams English stunned in a daring scarlet red dress, Thumann sparkled in a strapless sparkly black piece and Austin wowed in a striking cedar cut-out dress.

In addition to these dresses all being flattering and dazzling, another consistency that immediately jumped out was that both Austin and Thumann were on the same page when it came to being decorated in metallics.

This shiny fabric seems to be making its rounds in the fashion world now that NYE is soon approaching. Metallics are well known for bringing a whole lot of shimmer to your wardrobe, making it so that—no matter what side of the room you’re on while waiting for that ball to drop—all anyone will notice is how you glisten under the lights.
