Alix Earle sizzles on SI Swimsuit cover in $59 Andi Bagus stringy bikini
In the newly released cover photo, Alix Earle looks absolutely breathtaking. She wore a tiny, stringy bikini from the brand Andi Bagus. The “Allure Bikini,” which retails for just $59, features a shimmering gold fabric that perfectly complements her tan. The top was a classic triangle style with very thin straps, while the bottoms were a matching low-rise string design. Her blonde hair, styled in effortless, beachy waves, fell perfectly over her shoulders. With minimal makeup and a natural glow, Earle’s overall look is the definition of “summer goals.”
A video captured the excitement surrounding this achievement . In it, Earle, in a dressing room, is wearing a chic white maxi dress with side cutouts. The SI team, including model Camille Kostek, wearing a bright red blazer dress, joins her. Earle, who is handed a physical copy of the 2026 magazine, immediately gasps in disbelief.
As she flips through the pages and sees her own face on the cover, she becomes visibly emotional. Earle covers her mouth with her hand and tells the camera she is “speechless.” Her friends cheer her on, calling her “fire” as she celebrates the life-changing news.
The video shows a very human side of Alix Earle, proving that despite her huge following, she is still humbled by these big moments. This cover is not just a fashion win; it is a massive moment for the “Hot Mess” podcast host and her millions of fans.
