Olandria has taken over our fashion feeds in 2026, and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way. Among her many exciting ventures this year, the model also made her SI Swimsuit debut, posing for a sun-drenched rookie feature at South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, just off the coast of Fort Myers, Fla. At the 2026 VMAs, she rocked an edgy gown that brought us right back to her time on set with the magazine, thanks to its cool cocoa shade.
