The 2023 SI Swimsuit runway show during Miami Swim Week featured some iconic moments—the four Nader sisters opened the show, while five franchise legends closed the event.

Nicole Williams English walked with her baby girl one year after revealing her pregnancy to the world during her 2022 catwalk. Miami-based DJ XANDRA nailed her music set and also made her runway debut during the July 7 event at the W South Beach.

In addition to all the major viral model moments, SI Swimsuit fashion editors dressed 27 women in a total of 53 gorgeous and unique bikinis, cover-ups, one-pieces and statement T-shirts. Shop all the looks here.

Below are four recurring trends we spotted on the runway, and all of them are total must-haves for a hot girl summer.

Crochet

The trend is easy, breezy and adds a bit of skin while still allowing you to cover up.
