Jessie James Decker knows how to suit up — and we mean that in a bikini kind of way.

The country crooner turned Kittenish designer, 35, was right when she said she brought even more “heat and spice” to Paraiso Miami Swim Week with her fire, Mediterranean inspired collection.

Decker sent down models (including influencers Cindy Prado, Alexa Collins and Cydney Moreau) at the tents in Collins Park in colorfully warm neutrals; sexy animal prints; textured, eco-friendly fabrics; and mighty fierce metallics.

“Kittenish is about being playful, fun, flirty and sassy, “said Decker of her creations in the invite. “And this swim collection displays just that.”

The mother of three eventually came down the runway herself, slaying the house in a cappuccino crochet bikini with matching skirt with slit.

On Instagram, the “Should Have Known Better” singer shared snaps and footage of the show, joking she was in the “Miami Swim Week alumni club” now.

The “Just Eat” author told her followers that she had a “pinch me moment” at this year’s MSW, which brings together top industry professionals from around the country. Seeing her longtime dream come to fruition also got Decker a little verklempt.

“As I walked out... I couldn’t help but tear up,” she admitted in the post. “Sometimes we all are so go-go-go at full speed that we don’t stop to smell the roses and really think about how far we’ve all come in this journey. So I decided in that moment to just let myself feel every emotion and the tears came.”
