Saucy scene at Swim soiree

-

SPORTS Incapacita­ted?

The party celebratin­g the latest Sports Illustrate­d Swimsuit Issue at a Florida casino had models breaking heels, gobbling Popeyes and winning big at slot machines, we hear.

Page Six is told that Leyna Bloom — the first trans woman to grace the cover of the annual glossy celebratio­n of half-naked hotties — had a dicey moment at the launch party when one of her Louboutins got stuck in the top of an escalator, bringing the mechanical stairway grinding to a halt.

But we’re told that Bloom, who was headed out of the bash at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on her way to an after-party, took it in stride.

“She put on a pair of sneakers, went to the after-party and danced the night away,” said a source close to the model.

She was later photograph­ed with a handler attempting to resuscitat­e her heel.

Meanwhile, another source told us that the cover-reveal and fête incongruou­sly doubled as a sort of soft launch for Popeyes’ new chicken nuggets — which became the real star of the party.

“Models were losing their s - - t over these fried chicken nuggets. Olivia Culpo was shoving them in her mouth. Leyna was eating them. And Jasmine Sanders left with a bunch of sauces in her purse,” a spy told us.

But Megan Thee Stallion — who, as Page Six first reported, just became the first rapper to cover the bikini bible, which is printed with different cover models, you know, for the collectors — was “in and out” of the bash.

And model Camille Kostek hit the jackpot on the slot machines. “She won $2,000,” an insider said. She celebrated her win by break dancing on the dance floor, naturally.

“Bachelor in Paradise” couple Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour were also there, and we’re told Barbour did the worm as the models cheered him on.

The famous magazine hit newsstands last Thursday.
