In a hooded metallic look, Brooks Nader turns heads in sheer dress at CFDA Fashion Awards

A striking red-carpet look

She completed the outfit with open-toed black heels, two rings, small hoop earrings and dark red nail polish. Her hair was pinned up beneath the hood, with one strand left to frame her face; her makeup included nude lipstick and winged eyeliner.

A career shaped by fashion

Nader has previously worn revealing outfits in public. In September, she was photographed in New York in a fully sheer black dress with short ruffled sleeves, a high neckline and a fitted shape falling below her knees.

She told Maxim magazine in September 2025 that her conservative parents were “totally against” her pursuing modeling and acting. After attending an open call in Miami, she appeared in the 2020 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and was named Rookie of the Year. Five years later, she said, she made the cover.

Preparing for Baywatch

Nader is preparing for the premiere of the “Baywatch” reboot, in which she stars with Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne, Stephen Amell and others. The original series ran from 1989 to 1999 and featured David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Nicole Eggert and Donna D’Errico.

At the 2026 FOX Upfront, Nader said Pamela Anderson had long been a source of inspiration and that the new cast would pay homage to her and other “Baywatch” figures. She also said her parents were enthusiastic about the role because the show uses a one-piece swimsuit.

Nader said her family did not allow two-piece bikinis while she was growing up. “So they're like, ‘You're following the family rules. You're wearing a one-piece [swimsuit]. So, we're all good,’” she told Fox News Digital.
