During Miami Swim Week, model and new mom Mara Martin made global headlines by boldly walking the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit runway while breastfeeding her 5-month-old daughter. Wearing a stunning gold bikini, Mara carried her baby—who wore protective blue earmuffs—down the catwalk, earning a standing ovation and creating one of the most powerful viral moments in fashion.

Hailing from Michigan, Mara was one of only 16 finalists selected to walk the exclusive show at W South Beach, making her runway debut unforgettable. In a heartfelt Instagram post after the show, she expressed her surprise at going viral for something she does daily, emphasizing her mission to normalize breastfeeding and celebrate the strength of motherhood.

Mara also honored her fellow trailblazing women on the runway—including a Paralympic athlete, a cancer survivor, and a military recruit—calling them true role models. Her empowering walk wasn’t just about fashion—it was a statement of resilience, motherhood, and breaking societal norms.
