The 23-year-old podcaster and social media influencer stunned on the Sports Illustrated Swim runway after opening the show with a flawless walk. Curious to see the Alix Earle swim looks that have taken the Internet by storm? We've got you covered.
Throughout the past year, Alix Earle has made a full-fledged foray into the fashion world. Beginning with a massive social media following thanks to her relatable online persona and keen sense of personal style, Earle has quickly blossomed into a style savant, especially with her first appearance at New York Fashion Week for the Spring/Summer 2024 collection presentations, where she sat first row at Tory Burch.
Shortly after, Earle jetted off to Paris, where she got a first taste of the electrifying Paris Fashion Week scene. Of her experience, Earle told L'OFFICIEL USA: "I’m definitely very, very new to the fashion space and honestly, everyone here is just really inspiring. I'm watching them and I'm a little bit more excited about fashion now and entering the space. I think it definitely opened my eyes to the fashion world a little bit more and hopefully, I’ll take a page out of their books. But everyone here is super elevated and fun, so it was cool to see everyone."
With her latest fashion endeavor, Earle made history after she appeared on the inaugural digital cover of Sports Illustrated, where she donned a shimmering bronze bikini. Earle's partnership with Sports Illustrated has marked many firsts for the influencer, as she also made her Miami Swim Week debut and moved from sitting front row at runway shows to strutting down the catwalk, in the first of many Alix Earle runway moments to come.
Longtime fans of the influencer were not surprised to see Earle, a Miami girl at heart, clad in an electrifying blue bikini on the Sports Illustrated runway. After all, every time she sports a new suit on social media, "Alix Earle Swim" instantly trends in the searches on Instagram and TikTok, prompted by fans eager to embody her latest looks. Whether she dons preppy floral dresses at the Kentucky Derby, elegant gowns in the first row of NYFW shows, or swimsuits on the catwalk, Earle's versatility and knack for her personal style is undeniable.
Although it was her first time walking the runway, the influencer opened the show, a rare move for a runway rookie, in a quintessentially Alix Earle swim look. Sporting a deep turquoise blue bikini and cascading blonde waves, Alix Earle delivered a confident walk that at once presented the swimwear and gave the audience a glimpse of the personality that has led her to widespread fame.
Following the show, the influencer's online fanbase was abuzz, as the Alix Earle runway moment was memorialized on social media, and cemented as a history-making move in the fashion space. Earle was joined by her sister, Ashtin Earle—who also modeled during the show—and her boyfriend, Braxton Barrios, at the Sports Illustrated afterparty, where she donned a glittering pink mini-dress, complete with matching elbow-length gloves for an elegant finish.
