Brittney Lefevre spent the weekend commanding attention on one of fashion’s biggest stages. The model and fighter walked the runway at Miami Swim Week 2026, joining the swimwear world’s marquee annual showcase as it took over South Beach from May 27 through May 31.
Brittney Lefevre Turns Heads At HAUTE GALA During Miami Swim Week
Lefevre hit the catwalk at the HAUTE GALA, one of Miami Swim Week’s signature runway shows and a fixture of the Art Basel luxury fashion crowd. She walked for three brands across the weekend, opening in a light pink look from Slay Swimwear, the label that has made its name with hand-placed crystal designs and now has multiple seasons on the Miami Swim Week runway under its belt.
She followed that with a bold hot-pink and neon-green set from Sonsha Swim, the San Diego line known for its handcrafted, made-to-measure suits, then closed out her look with a blue piece from OF Merch.
The South Beach runway was familiar ground for her. Lefevre walked Miami Swim Week last year, and two years ago, she made her runway debut at New York Fashion Week. “Miami Swim Week was a lot of fun, but for me, it’s another way to challenge myself. Whether it’s modeling, content, or stepping into a boxing ring, I’ve always loved pushing outside my comfort zone,” Lefevre said.
The Fighter Side Of Lefevre Fans Don’t Always See
Plenty of fans know Lefevre from her massive social media following. Fewer know about the side of her that has been training to fight for years. “A lot of people know me from social media, but not everyone knows I’ve been training in combat sports since 2017. Miami Swim Week is one side of me… the fighter is the other side,” she said.
That balance between model and athlete is something she has worked hard to protect. “Social media opened a lot of doors for me, but I never wanted to be put in one box. I want to show people you can be walking a runway in a bikini one day and step into a fight camp the next,” Lefevre said.
Brittney Lefevre Sets Her Sights On June 24 Fight Night
The runway was a warm-up. Lefevre’s real focus is June 24, when she headlines The Knockout Queen against Rebecca McLeod. The event is a three-day spectacle staged at a private villa compound, with the main event putting Lefevre and McLeod, two of the biggest names in the creator world, against each other in the ring.
“Right now, I’m focused on becoming the best version of myself possible. Miami Swim Week was incredible, but June 24th for The Knockout Queen is where I plan on making a statement,” Lefevre said.
From a South Beach catwalk to a fight camp in a matter of weeks, Lefevre is betting she can own both worlds at once. On June 24, she gets her shot to prove it.
Who Else Is Stepping Into The Ring At ‘The Knockout Queen’?
A full slate of additional creator bouts and sanctioned fights will round out the weekend. Other matchups on the card include tattooed mechanic model Ms. Red taking on bikini beauty Jordyn Rain, while self-described girl-next-door Issy Black steps into the ring against gamer and glam model Lauren Hunt.
Also set to compete are redheaded bombshell Molly Stewart, festival favorite Maddy Belle, country stunner Alyssa Huddleson, and six-time AVN Award winner Remy LaCroix.
MMA And Boxing Experience Raise The Stakes At ‘The Knockout Queen’
Not everyone stepping into the ring is a newcomer, however. MMA fighter Abby Montes and boxer Kristina Santa are also slated to compete during the over-the-top event, bringing real combat experience to the lineup. Meanwhile, content creator and boxing personality Amber Fields will trade punches for commentary duties as one of the event’s announcers.
Around 150 of social media’s biggest creators are expected to attend the event, staying alongside the competing models in 16 villas spread across the lavish property. Altogether, the fighters boast a staggering combined social media following of more than 25 million fans.
