Critics of a bikini runway show headlined by a former Playboy model slammed a swimwear line for only casting “tiny white women” and just two plus-size models.

It’s Miami Swim Week, an annual swimwear event where brands showcase their sexy offerings on the catwalk.

Beach Bunny’s show was over the weekend but a video of the event posted online caused outrage on the Internet.

Former Playboy model Joy Corrigan, 28, was one of the top models stomping down the runway.

“Pure JOY walking for @beachbunnyswimwear,” she wrote on Instagram along with a video. “Thanks so much for having me again fam.”

Beach Bunny also posted video from the show featuring their models showing off the brand’s sexy collection.

However not everyone liked what they saw.

“Wow… a bunch of tiny mostly white women. So much variety,” one person sneered, adding an eye roll emoji.

A second commented, “2 curvy models… groundbreaking,” while another agreed: “You need more body types! You only have 2 types here.”

Others disagreed and defended the label and their choice of models.

“I see two black women, a few Latina, maybe other race or ethnicity, at least five women of color maybe more,” one person wrote. “So no, every girl does not look similar. They all look very unique to me.”

Another cheered, “Loving the different body types and skin tones! More of this please!,” one person cheered.

One person called out the disgruntled commenters.

“There’s always someone looking to always complain about something! From what I saw, this is a diverse group of beautiful women.”
