Miami-based DJ and TikTok star XANDRA made her dreams come true with SI Swimsuit. The 22-year-old, who just graduated from the University of Miami, DJed the SI Swimsuit runway show during Miami Swim Week on July 7.

XANDRA shared a sweet Instagram post of her fabulous runway debut and the itty bitty yellow bikini she wore as she struck a pose at the end of the catwalk at the W South Beach. She rocked the Epice Small Triangle Top ($255) and Régal Thin Briefs ($255).

“my face says it all… thank you @si_swimsuit for making my dream come true 💛,” XANDRA captioned the duo of photos she shared with her 346,000 followers.

“princess,” two-time SI Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton commented.

“BEYOND,” 2023 cover girl Brooks Nader added.

“HOT,” 2023 rookie Sixtine complimented.

“Queen!!!!!!,” ’22 Swim Search winner Mady Dewey wrote.

“This is SICK,” Alix Earle said.

“You’re the hottest woman alive omg,” one fan gushed.

“I cannot even put [my excitement] into words. I still don’t believe that it’s real, like it does not feel real,” XANDRA told SI Swimsuit ahead of the show. “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. So I’m ecstatic.”
