SI Swimsuit ventured south to Miami, Fla., this weekend for Swim Week, where the brand spent two fun-filled days packed full of awesome activities, delicious meals and exciting events to celebrate the approaching summer season with the main event, of course, being the 2025 runway show.

But before the unique mix of SI Swimsuit models, celebrity guests and Swim Search finalists could sport the latest trends in swimwear on the catwalk at W South Beach, they walked the red carpet in some seriously glamorous looks. And where there’s a red carpet filled with models all ready to strut their stuff, you better believe there are also some truly jaw-dropping ensembles on display.

With that in mind, check out just a handful of our favorite fashion moments from the runway red carpet below!

It should come as no surprise that the Olympic gymnast and 2025 SI Swimsuit cover model was looking stunning before the main event runway. Donning a zip-up mini skirt and brown bikini top, Chiles’s luxe look on the red carpet was a stand-out moment of the evening.
