Ariana “Ari” McClure rose to fame on the 2024 Netflix mega-hit series America’s Sweethearts — only to break hearts when she was cut from the iconic Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad at the last possible second.


But she powered her way to a major comeback as a star cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins, and she stole the show in a plunging red gown as she partied with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models when they stormed South Beach for their annual Miami Swim Week show.

“BEST NIGHT EVER,” she captioned a series of stunning pics of herself, posted to her Instagram on Monday, June 2. She also said she was inspired by the models — who included athletes Livvy Dunne and Ilona Maher, among many others . “One day !!!🤞🏼👙,” she wrote. “Thank you @si_swimsuit, @sportsillustrated, @mj_day & all the beautiful models who walked for being such an inspiration to me & so many girls 🤍.”

The stunning professional dancer stunned in her tight red gown with its only-on-South-Beach plunging neckline. She kept her hair swept up off her face with some wisps around her flawless face.

According to her bio on the Dolphins page, McClure also danced as a Lakers Girl for the Los Angeles Lakers, is from San Diego and went to the University of Utah.
