All the Celebrities Who Walked the ‘Sports Illustrated’ Runway in Miami This Weekend

This past weekend was a pretty big one for Sports Illustrated. The legacy brand hosted its annual Swimsuit Runway Show on May 31 in celebration of its 2025 swimsuit issue, and there was no shortage of famous faces on the runway. Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles, for example, not only strutted down the catwalk during the event, but she also casually did a flip on her way down the runway while wearing an all-white cowboy bikini.

Chiles obviously wasn’t the only athlete to walk during the show; she was joined by rugby player Ilona Maher, who wore a cheeky one-piece and a bikini during her time on the catwalk. Also included in the big event were influencers like Alix Earle, Remi Bader and Xandra Pohl, as well as Vanderpump Rules alum Stassi Schroeder. The biggest runway moment of the night, though, came from 54-year-old Bethenny Frankel, who walked in the show for the first time and stunned in a thong bikini.

Read ahead to see all the other famous faces that took to the runway during the show.
