Megan Thee Stallion is proving she is more than just a hot girl. On Thursday, May 29, the ‘Sweetest Pie’ rapper walked the runway wearing a design from her own collection. Megan closed the show in a daring, metallic one-piece with a huge cutout.
She collaborated with Walmart for the collection, ‘Hot Girl Summer,’ and designed one pieces, swim tops and bottoms, and cover ups. Megan celebrated the milestone by posting to her 32.6 million Instagram followers: “Thank you to all my beautiful models for showcasing my collection so beautifully with lots of positive energy.”
And her fans couldn’t get enough. One commented: “I have three gym memberships. This should be me!!!” Another said, “If I looked like this, I would never shut up about it.”
Even before she walked the runway, Megan was a multi-hyphenate. In April, she announced she was starting construction on her very own Popeyes location, which will feature her “Hottie Sauce” a condiment of cider vinegar, Aleppo pepper, and honey. In February, she celebrated her 30th birthday by releasing her tequila brand, Chicas Divertidas.
Megan doesn’t just have a mind for business. During her rise to fame, she graduated from Texas Southern University in 2021 with a degree in health administration. She’s said she pursued the degree in honor of her late mother, Holly Thomas.

“It took me a long time to be comfortable talking about my mental health,” she shared with Billboard. “Asking for help doesn’t make me weak.”

Last year, she also told her entire story in her documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words. The documentary covered her rise to fame, her journey as a Black woman in a male dominated industry, and the highly publicized trial with rapper Tory Lanez, who was convicted of shooting her in the foot in 2020.
