The top of Nader's swimsuit is what really turned heads.
Two starfish-shaped cup covers crafted entirely from pearls, delicately strung together and perfectly placed to tease, but never overdo it. The ocean may be crashing behind her, but all eyes are locked on her.
With her sun-kissed skin glowing and tousled beach waves falling effortlessly over her shoulders, Brooks exudes confidence, glamor, and that unmistakable “it girl” energy. The white, ultra-minimal thong bottoms keep the focus where it belongs, on her sculpted curves and fearless fashion statement. It’s the kind of look that doesn’t whisper summer... it screams it.
"Year 7 with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and still pinch myself every year. Never give up on your dreams!!!!!" she captioned the post.
Fellow Sports Illustrated model and Olympian Ilona Maher commented, "Wow wow wow."
Nikki Garcia wrote, "Wow!!! I need to borrow that bikini lol."
And Nikki's twin sister, Brie, chimed in with, "Gorgeous!!!"

"Yes. She. Did! Always a legend in my book!" one fan commented.
"Holy golden goddess," another said.

Brooks Nader is living the dream, and making it look effortlessly sexy while she’s at it.

With oversized sunglasses, beach-blown hair, and layered gold and turquoise jewelry, the look oozes glam getaway vibes. Behind her, a luxury villa and crisp white staircases frame the scene like a movie set, because honestly, this is a movie moment.
In another snap, Brooks takes her sultry energy seaside. Stretched out along the edge of a hot tub with the ocean glistening behind her, she arches her back in a pose that’s as sculptural as it is seductive. Wearing the same black bikini and patterned coverup pushed off her shoulders, she proves that even on vacation, she’s serving high-fashion editorial with every sun-drenched angle.
