Sports Illustrated is celebrating women of all shapes and sizes.
The magazine, which is gearing up to drop its sizzling issue on July 19, has been praised for its push for inclusivity and diversity.
Over the weekend, the outlet launched an all-inclusive runway show highlighting women of diverse shapes, sizes, ages, and backgrounds, per Daily Mail.
And after the models hit the runway at the Mondrian Hotel South Beach’s Baia Beach Club during PARAISO Miami Beach, it's safe to say the response was out of this world.
While a host of celebrities took to the catwalk, the show also featured a surprise appearance of Haley Kalil, co-winner of the first-ever SI Swimsuit open casting call in 2018, as well as other newbies on the modeling scene.
"Sports Illustrated Swimsuit continues to redefine the cultural conversation around beauty by celebrating a diverse group of women who include professional athletes, entrepreneurs, models, mothers, rookies and swim search contestants," Sports Illustrated said in a statement to Fox News.
"It’s annual Miami runway show which collectively rounds out this remarkable group of authentic and aspirational women has become the go-to show during swim week in Miami."
In previous years the catwalk has been criticized for its lack of diversity - but it's safe to say the runway show this year has shut down the magazine's past with its inclusive and diverse line-up.
The show included plus-sized models, moms, and the "oldest/shortest Sports Illustrated rookie ever" - 57-year-old model Kathy Jacobs.
Kathy took to Instagram after the show to tell followers it is "never too late" after walking the runway in a two-piece.
She wrote: "This is what runway domination at 57 years old and 5’2” (157cm) tall looks like on the surface. What you don’t see are the years of hundreds of rejections, discipline, heartbreak and balls to the wall perseverance behind what it took to be in this short video!"
It wasn't long before women rushed to praise the magazine for its clear push for inclusivity, with influencer Alex Light taking to social media to share what "this type of representation means for so many".
"Imagine if we had all grown up seeing images more like this from the catwalk?" she wrote. "Women of different shapes and sizes, not just one type of beauty that was highly unattainable for most women.
"I hazard a guess that body image would not be as bad as it is right now. Don’t you?"
The social media star went on to say that while the show wasn't "perfect", it definitely showed that the fashion industry "was getting there – slowly but surely".
Meanwhile, others took to praise the magazine on its official Instagram account, with many thanking the long-running magazine brand for "young women everywhere".
