Mady Dewey paid homage to an SI Swimsuit legend for her second runway show with the brand during Miami Swim Week. The 2023 magazine rookie wore a netted one-piece swimsuit by Navy Ray, reminiscent of the famous fishnet look that Cheryl Tiegs rocked in 1978. The 75-year-old supermodel appeared in a dozen SI Swimsuit Issues between ’70 and 2014. 

After walking the catwalk at the W South Beach on Friday night, Dewey shared a collage of photos of the look on Instagram along with a thoughtful caption.

“what an honor to walk @si_swimsuit & channel the ICONIC Cheryl Tiegs (see the last pic!!) with this suit by the incredible female swim brand @navyray !!” the 25-year-old wrote. “I’ll never be over this - cant wait to share more from the best night!! ✨🥹🫶.”

Tons of Dewey’s 10,000 followers on the platform hyped the model up in the comments section.

“SO SO SO SO SO PROUD OF YOU MY BB!!!!!!!” applauded 2022 Swim Search finalist Sarafina El-Badry Nance. “IM SCREAMING.”

“Literally iconic,” added 2022 co-Rookie of the Year Katie Austin.

“no one could’ve rocked this look better than YOU 😍😍,” observed 2023 rookie Sixtine.

“I wanna be you when I grow up,” Kerry Justich noted.

Dewey also wore a lime green bikini set and cover-up on the Miami Swim Week runway. See the pics here.
