Sports Illustrated‘s annual 2021 Swimsuit Runway Show at Mondrian South Beach Hotel in Miami on Saturday featured the most inclusive and diverse models in the magazine’s history.
Sports Illustrated‘s “woke” swimsuit runway show featured women of different body types and shapes, including actress Saje Nicole (pictured), model Jasmine Sanders, plus-size model Amanda Kay, and personal chef Chelsea Heath.
The magazine introduced its Swimsuit edition models including social media influencer Natalie Mariduena (pictured) and model and actress Christen Harper.
Curvaceous model Amanda Kay grew up all over the world, according to DailyMail.com. She moved with her family to Jordan, Egypt, England, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai.
“I started my modelling [sic] career later in life because I kept making excuses as to why I wasn’t good enough,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I hope I can show anyone out there who is scared or has reservations to just go for it. Amazing things can happen if you put yourself out there and I’m proof of that.”
Jasmine Sanders turned heads as she strolled the runway wearing tiny scraps of black fabric held together with a skimpy body chain. The 30-year-old German model has walked for brands such as Forever21, American Eagle, Seventeen, Glamour, Ralph Lauren and more.
Chelsea Heath walked for 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at Mondrian South Beach Hotel in Miami, Florida on Saturday.
