On July 27, the 62-year-old model and actress reminded her Instagram followers of her legendary status with a throwback photo from Miami Swim Week. Alt walked the runway with fellow brand icons Samantha HoopesRoshumba Williams, Vendela Kirsebom and Elsa Benitez.

Alt wore a pink-and-white paisley swimsuit by Melissa Odabash with a matching cover-up slung casually over her shoulders. The snapshot was captured by Ezequiel DelaRosa at the W South Beach.

“Pretty in Pink💖,” one of Alt’s 141,000 IG followers wrote in the comments.

“👏👏👏,” Swim Search finalist Sharina Gutierrez applauded with emojis.

“Wow you haven’t changed a bit still a super model 👙👙👙👙,” Odabash observed.

During the runway show on July 7, Alt walked the catwalk in a white button-up one-piece swimsuit and sheer sarong, as well as a blue bikini and coordinated cover-up dress. Check out both showstopping looks here.

Alt last graced the SI Swimsuit Issue in 2014, when she participated in a legends feature for the brand’s 50th anniversary.
