Sports Illustrated swimsuit models hit the runway in Miami on Saturday for the annual show which featured women of all different sizes, ages, and ethnicities, adding to the steamy magazine's most diverse group of women to date in an effort to promote inclusivity.
Women of all different backgrounds ranging from models to entrepreneurs and mothers to plus-sized models strutted across the poolside catwalk luxury Mondrian Hotel on South Beach Saturday, according to the New York Post.
"Sports Illustrated Swimsuit continues to redefine the cultural conversation around beauty by celebrating a diverse group of women who include professional athletes, entrepreneurs, models, mothers, rookies and swim search contestants," SI Swim said in a press release.
"Its annual Miami runway show which collectively rounds out this remarkable group of authentic and aspirational women has become the go-to show during swim week in Miami," the firm added.
Among the beautiful and vivacious women included 57-year-old model Kathy Jacobs, who in her own words is the "oldest/shortest Sports Illustrated rookie ever."
"You're not too old, you're not too late," Jacobs said.
Strutting alongside Jacobs while donning an orange snakeskin string bikini was Miami-based actress and model Saje Nicole, the New York Post reported.
Other stunners that graced the catwalk included personal chef Chelsea Heath and Canadian plus-sized model Amanda Kay, adding to the large group of diverse women.
In the past, thin women with large breasts were the magazine's staple; however, Sports Illustrated said they were hoping the annual event would boost body positivity as they work to change the "conversation around beauty."
