As SI Swimsuit’s first digital cover star, content creator Alix Earle recently spent some time with photographer Yu Tsai in Miami, where she posed for two stunning galleries, including a beachfront spread and a collection of after-party pics.

In conversation with SI Swimsuit, the 23-year-old University of Miami graduate spoke about the importance of using her platform—which consists of 6.8 million followers on TikTok alone—for good. Earle, who is known for her raw, authentic content, uses her platforms to connect with fans in an incredibly personal manner while keeping it real about things like acne.

“I definitely have a big understanding now of the platform that I have and the change that I can make with that,” she stated. “That’s why I always tried to give back or promote small brands. I think that’s very important to uplift other people with my platform.”

Following Earle’s digital cover reveal on Friday, May 31, she went on to open the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at the W South Beach for Miami Swim Week on Saturday evening. She strutted the catwalk in two different looks, and even brought her three younger sisters to the runway alongside her.
