Australian model and swimwear designer Sahara Ray has died aged 34. According to her family’s statement reported in the media, she died in hospital surrounded by relatives.

A career in fashion

Alongside modelling, Ray was known for her Sahara Ray Swim label. Photographs with Justin Bieber in Hawaii in 2016 attracted international entertainment coverage. Her work also included design and social media beyond that publicity.

She recently became a mother

Reports say Ray welcomed her daughter Snow in January. Page Six describes her final Instagram post as a tribute to her daughter.

Cause of death remains undisclosed

Ray previously spoke publicly about Guillain-Barré syndrome in 2024. No verified connection between that earlier condition and her death has been announced. Confirmation of a death is not confirmation of its medical cause. Readers should rely on verified information from the family or relevant authorities rather than speculation about undisclosed circumstances.
