To hype up 2025 Sports Illustrated model Alix Earle for her first episode of Dancing with the Stars, which aired Tuesday, September 16, the brand shared one of the steamiest photos from her current appearance in the iconic magazine.
Wearing a tiny chocolate brown string bikini, the influencer and creator, 24, kneels in the sand and shows off her chiseled figure. While the photos were taken before her turn on the famed dancing show, she has long said that she was always a dancer, and even posted a viral breakdancing video posted around the time of her SI Swim hoopla.
“In honor of tonight’s Dancing With the Stars premiere, we’re rewinding to one of Alix Earle’s dazzling SI Swimsuit 2025 looks—because if anyone deserves a mirrorball moment, it’s her,” SI Swim captioned its Tuesday September 16 share on X (formerly Twitter).
Earle did well her first night out, scoring 13/20 from the judges for her cha-cha routine. Her pro dance partner is Val Chmerkovskiy.
