Between Michael Rubin’s White Party, tropical vacations for the long weekend, red carpet-ready ESPY’s glam, pre-game and courtside street style and the start of Q3 which means major career moves, our Instagram feeds just couldn’t catch a break this week.

But, alas, we have no complaints at all, we’re more than happy to double tap and pull fashion inspo from time to time. Whether it’s a new magazine cover, athletic endeavors, business ventures or new modeling gigs, we absolutely love keeping up with all the incredible things current and former SI Swimsuit models have been up to.

It was a busy and exciting seven days, and brand stars were all across the world this week. Below are some of our favorites. Enjoy!
