Megan Thee Stallion Brought Her Hot Girl Summer Swimwear Line to Paraiso Miami Swim Week and the Hotties Showed Up
Rain, floods, and all of Miami’s moody weather could not keep the Hot Girls away. On Thursday night, May 28, Megan Thee Stallion hosted a runway show for her Hot Girl Summer swimwear brand at Paraiso Miami Swim Week in South Beach, and it turned into a whole event.
Flash floods had overtaken Collins Avenue, but fans, influencers, and fashion lovers arrived anyway, rain-soaked and unbothered, looking every bit like they had planned to be drenched.
This was Megan’s second runway show at Miami Swim Week, following her debut last year, when she walked in a metallic ab-baring swimsuit and picked up the Cultural Icon award at the first-ever Swimwear Icons Honors Night. This time around, she came back with more to offer and a bigger collection to show for it.
The second Hot Girl Summer collection spans 20 pieces for women, a nine-piece Hot Boy Summer men’s line, and a pet apparel range, because yes, even dogs get to be hot girls this summer.
What the Collection Looked Like on the Runway
The runway presentation moved with energy and confidence, featuring models in shimmering swimsuits across sandy neutrals, seashell pinks, and sunset purples that echoed the color palette of Megan’s tequila brand, Chicas Divertidas.
The women’s collection included bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and cover-ups in shell-inspired prints, with colorways ranging from red, orange, pink, white, blue, and green. Prices for the line range from $18 to $32, keeping the whole thing very accessible, which aligns with the collection being available at Walmart.
Models walked alongside tiny, fashionable dogs wearing pieces from the new pet line, which includes barkini sets and dog tees with phrases like “Hot Dog Summer” and “Little Hottie.” The pet pieces are priced between $9.97 and $12.97. NYX Professional Makeup served as the official beauty and body artistry partner for the show, with models wearing the brand’s newly launched Caramelt Mami Body Oil from the Fat Oil Body Collection throughout the presentation.
Megan Walked the Runway Herself
When Megan finally stepped out, the room lost it. She walked out to her own song, “Bigger in Texas,” specifically to the lyric, “I look good chubby, I look good slim,” while dancers of varying body types surrounded her onstage. It was a deliberate, pointed moment in the middle of a show that was already celebrating size-inclusive modeling and a diverse cast across genders.
Her runway appearance was brief, but she made it count. She greeted the crowd, snapped to the beat, and read the room before heading backstage. For her own look, the 31-year-old rapper wore a psychedelic swimsuit with sexy cut-outs, and was spotted backstage in a red cut-out dress. All of it was very much on-brand.
The After-Party Kept Going Until 3 A.M.
Megan did not call it a night after the show. The after-party moved to Mr. Jones nightclub, where she turned up around 3 a.m. wearing a skin-tight black mesh dress with chunky silver hoop earrings, hair slicked back in a bun, and she poured tequila directly into fans’ mouths. The crowd, predictably, screamed.
Guests also went home with branded goodie bags and sponsor favors. Attendee Jeremiah Guynn told Miami New Times that the cocktails on offer reminded them of a tequila sunrise, adding: “I would drink this anywhere, on the beach, by the pool.” Guynn also called Megan “the Queen B of our friend group” when asked what kind of energy she brought to the night, and that description honestly covers the whole evening.
Megan’s Fashion Empire Is Still Expanding
This Miami Swim Week moment is one piece of a very full year for Megan. She hopped on Juvenile’s “B.B.B.” remix, which reached No. 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 in March, made her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge!, and starred as Denise in The Fall & Rise of Reggie Dinkins. Building out a swimwear brand that covers women, men, and pets in the middle of all that is either wildly ambitious or just very on-brand, Megan.
In her own words about the line: “Everyone knows I love being near a pool or a beach, so I finally decided to turn my passion into a business and create my own swimwear brand. I used to shop at Walmart growing up, so it’s a full circle to have my own line available at Walmart, and I’m so grateful for their support.” The Hotties clearly felt that.
