Sheer Styles at Sports Illustrated’s 2025 Super Bowl Party: Ellie Thumann, Swimsuit Rookie Nicole Williams English and More

Sports Illustrated hosted its own 2025 Super Bowl party on Saturday in New Orleans ahead of the big game, which saw the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 22 to 40 and Kendrick Lamar headline the halftime show.

The magazine hosted some of its previous Swimsuit Issue models, including Ellie Thumann and former rookie Nicole Williams English, who is married to former San Diego Chargers player Larry English.

Sheer styles dominated the red carpet at Sports Illustrated’s bash, with guests favoring sparkling embellishments and monochromatic looks.

Ellie Thumann

Thumann’s all-red ensemble consisted of a sheer turtleneck with ruffled cuffs and a micro miniskirt. The influencer completed her look with black peep-toe pumps, while her dirty blond hair was styled in a “wet” look.

Nicole Williams English

Williams English, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s 2023 Rookie of the Year, modeled a white mesh maxidress by Mugler, which featured ruched detailing. The model added on open-toe heels, statement earrings and a miniature handbag, wearing her dark tresses in a sleek bun.

Veronika Rajek

Veronika Rajek’s Fashion Nova minidress featured sheer panels, a plunging bodice and an asymmetrical neckline. Adorned with pearlescent beads, the model accessorized with a black purse, iridescent high-heeled sandals and a pearl necklace.

Madison Brodsky

Entertainment journalist and television host Madison Brodsky sparkled in a crystallized sleeveless gown with a high neckline. Jeweled drop earrings and a tousled updo topped off her shimmering ensemble.
