Brittany Cartwright soaked up the rays in Miami on Friday, May 30, looking hot and unbothered amid her divorce from ex Jax Taylor.
You might say the Vanderpump Rules alum’s getaway served as the proverbial calm after the storm, as headlines have been circulating since Taylor, 45, who shares child Cruz, 4, with Cartwright, revealed that he was a recovering cocaine addict in a March 2025 episode of Alex Baskin‘s “Hot Mic” podcast.
Cartwright, 36, served up her own bombshell moment in the form of sexy beachwear when she was spotted in a leopard maillot on Friday, hours before hitting the runway at Miami Swim Week.
It was hard not to notice The Valley Bravo star as she splashed around the surf. The plunging animal-print one-piece emphasized her curves, while the lace-up back snatched her waist.
A statement swimsuit augmented with glistening diamond stud earrings would have induced whiplash in onlookers in any setting. However, slicked-back hair, still dripping wet from relaxing in the ocean, commanded that much more attention and completed her utterly glamorous guise.
In keeping with the transparency trend, she paired it with gauzy black pants that, even with ruffles on the sides, were sheer enough to reveal her swimsuit’s cheeky bottoms underneath.
To go from the beach to the boardwalk, she wore Christian Dior Every-D slides, which were several stylish steps up from rubber flip-flops. She doubled down on designer accessories in squared-off glossy black Saint Laurent sunglasses with the brand’s logo etched on the temple.
After all, what better way to dip a literal toe into the Paraiso Swim Week scene than by strolling along the seashore before strutting down the runway?
That’s precisely what Cartwright did when she modeled in the Cupshe fashion show on Friday. She wore ankle-wrap sandals with a breezy blue-and-white toile sundress that could just as easily double as a chic beach cover-up to go from the cabana to cocktails in Miami and beyond.
