The 'Sports Illustrated Swimsuit' Runway Show Returns to Miami This Friday Night, Here's How to Watch

Miami Swim Week returned this year for its 21st iteration from July 4–12, and with it came one of the most anticipated events of the summer. The annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show came back to the W South Beach on Friday, July 7 at 9:30 p.m. ET.

In May, the seven winners of this year’s Swim Search were announced. They will walk in this year’s runway show and compete for the Rookie spot in 2024’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This year’s finalists included Achieng Agutu, Sharina Gutierrez, Berkleigh Wright, and more.

Veteran SI Swimsuit models Camille Kostek and Brooks Nader also made their way down the runway, in addition to Christen Harper and Nicole Williams English. Viewers also saw appearances from a few unexpected guests as well.

TikTok star and recent University of Miami graduate XANDRA were on hand as the event’s DJ. Speaking to SI Swimsuit last month, XANDRA admitted to being “ecstatic” about her involvement in 2023’s runway show.

“I cannot even put [my excitement] into words,” XANDRA gushed. “I still don’t believe that it’s real, like it does not feel real. I’ve always looked up to Sports Illustrated my whole entire life…I just never thought I’d ever be in this position, especially DJing, doing the thing that I love the most.”
