Over the weekend, Haley Baylee made her triumphant return to the SI Swimsuit runway during Swim Week, and the moment was well worth the wait. Prior to this past Saturday, May 30, the model was last spotted on the brand’s catwalk in 2021, the same year she posed for the issue in Hollywood, Fla.

After several years away from the brand, in which she focused on her career as a content creator, Baylee returned to the magazine for the 2026 issue, traveling to Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, where she posed for photographer James Macari. The 33-year-old influencer, who has over 32 million followers across all her social media platforms, is known for her sense of humor and creativity, both of which she brought to her Swim Week experience with SI Swimsuit—along with her captivating beauty. Baylee’s fans know and love her for her candor online, and she brought her followers along for the ride during Swim Week, capturing content during SI Swimsuit’s Beach Party, Runway Show and more.

Below, take a peek at some exclusive photos of Baylee during Swim Week festivities, including several selfies captured on the model’s Samsung device. The official mobile technology partner of SI Swimsuit, Samsung is known for its incredible Google’s Circle to Search technology and premium camera quality. And just in case you missed out on the show at the W South Beach, be sure to stream the full SI Swimsuit Runway Show on Hulu and Disney+ starting on Tuesday, June 9.
