Move over, Gigi Hadid — the Teletubbies are taking over fashion runways.
The beloved British characters left their grassy, rabbit-filled oasis at the start of this week to make a colorful appearance at Miami Swim Week.
Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po each walked the runway for New York-based brand The Blonds, and strutted hand-in-hand with models clad in vibrant swimsuits.
The official Teletubbies account shared a video of the fashion moment to TikTok on Tuesday, and the clip has now been viewed more than 160,000 times.

When the fashion show began on Sunday, models stepped onto the runway in sparkling, metallic swimsuits.
Many also wore crystal-covered hair pieces, sheer cover-ups, and statement jewelry like chunky rings.
But approximately seven minutes into the show, the screen behind the runway went dark and a baby-faced sun rose behind The Blonds logo.
During the "Teletubbies"-inspired portion of the show, models reappeared in neon one-pieces, printed bikinis, and other colorful swimwear.
Another wore a statement piece that paid homage to the children's show more directly: a single-strap bodysuit covered in plush "Teletubbies" toys.
"The Blonds are inherently about excess — even at the beach," a representative for the brand said in a press release sent to Insider. "For their first official foray into resort wear, they have created a collection of pieces that will take you from slinking by the pool in heels to the hottest nightspot imaginable."
The representative also said the runway collection was inspired by a mix of "Teletubbies," the 1987 film "Overboard," and Miami Beach in the '90s.
