If you weren’t at the Oh Polly runway show this past Saturday (May 30th), you definitely felt the FOMO radiating through your feed. As the annual highlight of Paraiso Miami Swim Week, Oh Polly didn’t just host a show; they transported us straight to a high-fashion ‘Tiki Bar’ in Rio. It was the place to be, and the vibe was nothing short of electric.
The Celeb Secrets team was on the ground, and let me tell you, the energy was unmatched. Oh Polly hooked me up with the hottest outfit I wore all weekend — the Ronja Embellished Plunge Semi-Sheer Mini Dress in Deep Purple ($175) — and it was truly party-ready perfection. Between the square HOTFIX embellishments catching every single light and the way the premium stretch mesh hugged in all the right places, I felt like a total “Oh Polly girl” the second I slipped it on.
This year’s presentation marked Oh Polly‘s most ambitious Swim Week production to date, embracing a theatrical “Rio to Runway” concept complete with immersive visuals, elevated set design, and a tropical Tiki Bar-inspired atmosphere that instantly transported attendees from South Beach to the sun-soaked shores of Copacabana Beach.
The brand’s latest collection, ‘Copacabana,’ made its grand debut with 22 jaw-dropping looks across 11 models that had everyone taking notes for their next vacation.
Inspired by Rio in the 70s, the color palette is a dream: think bold chilli reds, warm, honeyed yellows, sunset orange tones and retro-inspired stripes. Lead Designer Katie Cryer really nailed the balance between nostalgia and modern sexiness. We’re talking micro-silhouettes that are fully reversible (because we love a versatile queen), polished gold hardware, and those signature body-focused cuts that Oh Polly is famous for.
The highlight? The transition pieces. Sparkling resort wear moved seamlessly from sun-drenched beach days with artisanal sheer knits into “after-dark” impact with sequinned fringe styles that moved beautifully down the runway. These pieces were everything that summer style is about: fun, fearless, and impossible to ignore.
The runway was just as star-studded as the front row. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Layla Taylor commanded the runway, perfectly embodying the confident, fun, and fearless spirit of the brand.
The guest list was just as hot as the Miami weather. Reality television stars, influencers, content creators, fashion insiders, and Miami’s most stylish socialites packed the venue, making the show one of the weekend’s most photographed events. We even spotted reality TV royalty including Kiki Barth (Real Housewives of Miami), and Love Island stars Coco Watson and Gracyn Blackmore soaking in the collection from the front row.
What sets Oh Polly apart isn’t just the clothes — it’s the intentionality behind the brand. While they are busy dominating your Instagram and TikTok feeds with the season’s hottest trends, they are also deeply rooted in philanthropy through their work with the Brannerson Foundation.
Between the immersive video set design (which was a first for the brand) and the sheer energy of the ‘Copacabana’ debut, it’s clear why this show remains the most coveted invite of Miami Swim Week. Whether you’re heading to a beach club in Tulum or a rooftop party in the city, this collection has officially set the tone for summer 2026.
