Apart from annual magazine launch events, Swim Week is one of our favorites here at SI Swimsuit. Not only do we get to celebrate the hottest swimwear trends of the season at the W South Beach, but we get the opportunity to assemble brand talent—and a few special guests—for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show on the luxury hotel’s Wet Deck.

This year, in addition to more than a dozen familiar faces, there will be several women new to the brand—including our 2025 Swim Search finalists—who will strut their stuff on the catwalk. Below, get to know them a little bit better.

Tune into the live runway show at 9 p.m. ET here.
