Nina Agdal Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2026 Launch New York Look in Kate Barton Emerald One-Shoulder Gown
Nina Agdal attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2026 Launch Party at Hard Rock Times Square in New York on May 14, 2026 wearing a Kate Barton emerald green gown with a dramatic trailing sash that reshaped the entire silhouette.
The gown featured a sleek, body-skimming design crafted from a high-shine silk jersey fabric that reflected light with a liquid-like finish. The neckline rose into a structured mock collar before transitioning into an asymmetrical one-shoulder shape, leaving one arm completely bare and creating a sharp, modern line through the upper body.
Soft draping across the torso added dimension to the fitted silhouette, with diagonal ruching gathering from the shoulder toward the waist. The carefully placed folds shaped the midsection naturally while preventing the glossy fabric from appearing overly flat or restrictive.
The standout detail was the long sash extending from the shoulder and falling down the side of the gown. That trailing fabric introduced movement and vertical balance to the otherwise streamlined column shape, subtly changing the proportions of the look while adding elegance without extra volume.
Nina Agdal styled the emerald gown with loose side-swept waves that echoed the direction of the draping, creating a cohesive flow from hair to fabric. Minimal jewelry allowed the saturated green tone and sculptural silhouette to remain the focus of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch party appearance.
