Current and former SI Swimsuit models had a super exciting week. It’s mid-July, and the sun is shining, tan lines are starting to show and the days are so long and fruitful.

While some women made major career moves over the past several days, others strutted their stuff on red carpets across the country. Two even visited their trusty hair gurus for a little mid-year change of pace (and color).

Here’s a recap of seven of our favorite posts from the past seven days. Enjoy!

Lauren Chan

The two-time brand model and former Glamour fashion editor landed her first Times Square billboard in partnership with Knix. Congrats, Lauren!
