Photographed entirely in Rio de Janeiro over Carnival 2026, issue three of ICE Magazine is perhaps the most sumptuously visual issue yet. Brazil’s ICE Girls are photographed in bright bikinis on beaches, in the clifftops above the city's favelas, or wearing full Carnival feathered outfits with the lights of Rio glittering in the background. The whole issue feels alive. “It ended up feeling like home,” Renell says in her editor’s letter. “There were echoes of the Dominican Republic in the people, the places and the spirit…The passion and urgency that runs through Brazil feels familiar.” And besides the 16 models in the issue, there is one more that takes her place as an ICE Girl: Renell’s close friend Hailey Bieber.
Photographed in perhaps her most empowering shoot to date, Hailey, who is half Brazilian, speaks about how Brazilian culture has influenced her throughout her life, and why Renell was the only person she would trust for a shoot like this. “I’m comfortable with her pushing me, photographing me differently, helping me be seen in a different way,” she says in the magazine, “because I know she just wants me to be comfortable in myself, too.”
