Thumann is a three-time SI Swimsuit model and content creator known for her lifestyle, beauty and fashion YouTube channel. The Arizona native made her debut in Puerto Rico in 2023 and has since returned for back-to-back features in Mexico and Bermuda. With her cool style and honest, down-to-earth energy, Thumann has become a favorite among fans, consistently showing up as her most authentic self both in front of and beyond the camera.
Swim Week is the ultimate celebration of summer style, and SI Swimsuit brought the heat once again. The two-day activation included a beachfront brunch, poolside programming, a Coppertone-sponsored Beach Club and an unforgettable runway show at the W South Beach on May 31. Each event spotlighted the brand’s ongoing commitment to confidence, inclusivity and redefining what it means to feel beautiful in your own skin.
Thumann’s 2025 runway looks included an edgy black studded string set from PARAMIDONNA, paired with a blue denim bolero from Denimcratic and a black cowboy hat from Zandria. She also rocked a cute yellow suit with green polka dots from Two Fish Swim.
