Alix Earle (@alixearle on TikTok) shows us her most authentic side in a behind-the-scenes moment full of nerves, stories, and some improvised glam. This time, she’s getting ready for the Sports Illustrated Swim Runway Show in Miami—and her TikTok video proves that even the biggest events aren’t immune to chaos.
Spray Tan, Nerves, and a Lifesaving Jojo of Alix
Alix admits she got a spray tan on her body (but not her face), leading to a last-minute dilemma: matching tones like magic. Thankfully, her favorite makeup artist, Jojo, sent her a DoorDash express package with all the essentials to make her makeup flawless.
“Jojo’s about to have a baby, but she still sent me everything I need to shine. She’s the sweetest.”

From Runway to Afterparty: A Night Out in Miami
After the show, Alix already knows what’s next: celebrating at Eleven, Miami’s most iconic (and chaotic) nightclub. She says it herself: “I haven’t been in eight months, but tonight is a reason to celebrate.” Eleven isn’t just any club—it’s the place where the night stretches on and the vibe hits every corner.
Real Life: Pressure, Period Vibes, and Lots of Makeup
Between two outfit options (animal print and polka dots), Alix admits she’s stressed about timing, the nerves, and feeling like her period is about to start. These little details make her experience feel all the more real—getting ready, fixing herself up, improvising with makeup, and just hoping everything turns out okay.
Her best friends were front row, and of course, that made walking the runway even more fun… and just a bit more intimidating.
What We Can Learn from Alix
Her video is a reminder: authenticity sells, attitude is everything, and you don’t need perfection to shine. Take risks, step out of your comfort zone, go to the event, dare to celebrate. And if something goes wrong… at least you’ll have a story to tell (or a viral TikTok).
