Ring in International Bikini Day With These Two-Piece Looks From the 2026 SI Swimsuit Runway Show

Happy International Bikini Day! That’s right, today, July 5, marks the annual holiday.
It should come as no surprise that we here at SI Swimsuit take the two-piece tradition very seriously, and we can’t think of a better way to commemorate the holiday than by reliving the 2026 SI Swimsuit Runway Show. Featuring a mix of SI Swimsuit legends, rookies and friends of the brand, the show originally rocked the W South Beach during Swim Week in Miami on Saturday, May 30, before bringing the heat to Hulu and Disney+ for the first time, where you can now watch (and rewatch!) the show in its entirety.

ICYMI, the models and celebrities featured on in the annual show included: Achieng Agutu, Alix Earle, Bethenny Frankel, Britt Stewart, Brooks Nader, Camille Kostek, Christen Goff, Claire Kittle, Ellie Thumann, Gabi Moura, Grace Ann Nader, Hailey Bills, Haley Cavinder, Haley Baylee, Hanna Cavinder, Hunter McGrady, Ilona Maher, Jasmine Sanders, Jena Sims, Jenna Johnson, Katie Austin, Lauren Chan, Mary Holland Nader, Maura Higgins, Meredith Mickelson, Molly Sims, Nicole Williams English, Penny Lane, Remi Bader, Sarah Jane Nader, Stassi Schroeder, Tiffany Haddish, Tunde Oyeneyin, Val Chmerkovskiy and XANDRA.
At the fashion-forward event, the magazine’s star-studded catwalk showcased several on-trend seaside styles, divided into themed sections. Kicking off with “Sun-Kissed,” the models sported glittering, golden two-pieces fit for royalty. Up next, they embraced a timeless “Nautical Pin-Up” theme—think 1940s styles with plenty of stripes and buttons—followed by an eye-popping “Versace Mansion” moment. Those who love edgier looks won’t want to miss the “Biker Babes” portion of the show, which saw the models rocking all-black leather looks. Finally, the show closed out with a Baywatch-inspired theme, seeing all the models strut their stuff in sleek red swimsuits.
