Olandria’s 2026 SI Swimsuit Debut Is the Ultimate Weekend-Ready Vibe

Earlier this week, cosmetics titan Charlotte Tilbury shared a tutorial-style video featuring the one and only Olandria, and the playful clip immediately brought us back to her 2026 SI Swimsuit debut.
First catching fans’ attention on Season 7 of Love Island USA, Olandria has made a name for herself over the last year in the worlds of fashion and beauty. And earlier this summer, she joined SI Swimsuit for the first time, appearing on the glossy pages of the 2026 issue with a fashion-forward feature in Fort Myers, Fla. On the shores of the Sunshine State, the model was joined by brand staples Katie Austin, Christen Goff, Jasmine Sanders, Jena Sims and Ellie Thumann, as well as fellow rookie Gabi Moura.
Overall, her final photos captured the ultimate weekend-ready vibe. So, to celebrate the end of this week, we’re looking back at a few of our favorite snapshots from Olandria’s unforgettable 2026 SI Swimsuit debut.

Photographed by Katherine Goguen at South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, just off the coast of Fort Myers, Olandria made her mark on the magazine with dynamic posing and striking signature style. Her makeup, done by Kimora Mulan at Opus Beauty, was natural and neutral, leaving the model with a sensational glow. Meanwhile, her long, dark hair—styled by Micah Preston—featured breathtaking curls for an effortlessly chic aesthetic.

For her wardrobe, the SI Swimsuit style team had a clear vision in mind. Of the designer swimsuits selected for the shoot, the team noted that “beautiful colors, soft silhouettes and lots of texture, like crochets and ruffles, were the ultimate inspiration,” elevating each suit with an array of unique details for a one-of-a-kind final look.

“Feeling grateful for every lesson, every challenge and every dream that led me here🥹🤍,” Olandria penned on Instagram after the annual issue launched back in May. She shared her gratitude for the special moment on the app alongside a selection of standout snapshots from the radiant rookie feature.

As you can imagine, many of her fellow SI Swimsuit stars and famous friends flooded the comment section, singing her praises and applauding her fierce photos. “SO stunning ❤️,” two-time SI Swimsuit model Ali Truwit proclaimed while fellow reality TV star and friend of the brand Maura Higgins added, “THE MOST PERFECT WOMAN 🥹🔥❤️.”

So—as we finish up the week—we’ll be channeling all of Olandria’s cool girl energy for this weekend and beyond! Oh, and if you’re looking for even more end-of-summer, weekend-ready style inspiration, you can check out her full 2026 gallery here.
