Alix Earle kept things crisp for her latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit moment, stepping out in New York City on Tuesday in pointed white pumps while carrying her 2026 issue.
The influencer and Reale Actives founder wore clean white pumps with a closed pointed toe, low-cut vamp and slim stiletto heel. With no obvious embellishment, logo hardware or obvious contrasting trim, the shoes had the same pared-back white-pump read as Gianvito Rossi’s signature bridal styles and Christian Louboutin’s Kate pump in the same bright hue.

Earle paired the pumps with a fitted white sleeveless midi dress. The dress had narrow straps, a straight neckline and side ties at the back, where long white straps from side cutouts hung down from the bodice. She finished the look with black rectangular sunglasses and a watch, along with a copy of her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover.

The outing comes during a major week for Earle, who is one of four 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover models. Sports Illustrated named Earle, Tiffany Haddish, Hilary Duff and Nicole Williams English as the issue’s cover stars, with Earle photographed by Ruven Afanador in Botswana. The issue features 34 women across entertainment, sports, fashion, business and social media.
The white pumps keep her in a shoe lane she has already been working this spring. At the end of March, she left the “Today” show in Jimmy Choo’s Brigitte Mule 100 in white patent leather, a high-shine backless style with a dipped V-shaped topline, small peep-toe and 100 mm stiletto heel. One day later, she launched Reale Actives, her acne-focused skin care line.
By May, she had moved into a different heel category for a Sports Illustrated event in Surfside, Fla., pairing a red Givenchy minidress with Saint Laurent’s Kirat mule sandals. That pair had crisscrossing straps over the toes, an open back and a narrow, pointed front.
Tuesday’s pumps pulled the run back to a classic white heel. Celebrities have kept the plain pointed stiletto in rotation inside the broader white shoe push this spring, especially as the color has moved past bridal dressing and into red carpets, press stops and daytime appearances.
