Brooks Nader Risks Arrest With Topless Beach Moment In Mexico

Brooks Naderturned heads in Cabo San Lucas during a bikini getaway where she went topless, even though public nudity is illegal in Mexico.

The 28‑year‑old Sports Illustrated Swim star, who recently hinted at possibly "switching teams" and dating women, is not shy about expressing herself.

While Mexico bans nude sunbathing, some private adult‑only resorts do permit it, according to Los Cabos Guide, but whether Brooks Nader was at one of the approved spots remains unclear.

In the vacation snaps obtained by Daily Mail, Nader confidently flaunted her figure in red thong bikini bottoms and later slipped into a matching sheer red cover‑up. However, she left it tied loosely, leaving little to the imagination.

This spirited escapade comes just weeks after Nader revealed in New York City that she’s beginning to explore dating women following her split from "Dancing with the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko. Opening up at the launch party for the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, she joked that “all of [her] exes hate [her]” and said she’s already moved on to new romantic possibilities, including women.

Her topless moment isn't the only way Brooks Nader is heating things up this summer.

The 28-year-old model recently flaunted her famously fit figure in Larroudé’s sizzling new summer campaign, posing in an array of vibrant looks that showcase her physique and 24-inch waistline. Speaking with Daily Mail, Nader gushed about the experience, calling it “a dream.”

“I have been a fan and customer since they launched,” she said. “Summer is my favorite season, so shooting all the fun summer looks was a dream.”

When it comes to maintaining her enviable shape, Nader admits it hasn’t always been easy amid a busy schedule. “Working out and staying healthy has been hard, to be honest,” she shared. “My favorite workout is a long power walk. That’s my jam.”

She also keeps her diet clean and nutrient-rich, focusing on lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables.

Nader, who is a size two, isn’t just committed to her body. She’s also grounded in gratitude, thanks in part to a valuable lesson from one of the modeling world’s biggest legends.

“One of my biggest icons, and one of my mentors now, is Christie Brinkley,” Nader revealed at the 2025Sports Illustrated SwimsuitIssue launch party in New York City. “The first day that I met her, I said, ‘How did you do it, and what is your biggest advice?’ And she said, ‘Show up on time. Show up with a smile on your face, never complain, and always be grateful.’”

The two remain in touch regularly. “I speak with her on a monthly basis,” Nader noted.

Reflecting on her own early days as an SI cover star, Nader joked that she “blacked out” from excitement, and maybe a little champagne. “I would tell this year’s cover stars to take every moment in,” she added.

When asked about the source of her self-confidence, Nader was candid. “It wasn’t always my personality. I think that confidence is a process," she admitted. "It doesn’t just happen overnight. I’m still gaining confidence and working on myself.”

Still, she says, she feels more comfortable in her skin than ever before. “I really grew into my own ‘Brooks’ this year,” she said.

Up next? Nader is set to star alongside her sisters in an upcoming reality series for Hulu.

"Brooks’ breakout success has led them into the high-stakes world of modeling, the social scene of Manhattan’s elite and opened the door to a whirlwind of attention in their romantic lives," the press release announcing the news stated, per PEOPLE.

"Set against the backdrop of SoHo lofts, fashion campaigns and skyscraper dreams, 'Love Thy Nader' explores the ultimate question of what it really means to 'make it.' In a city where one can burn bright or go up in flames, sometimes the only thing truly needed is a sister who has your back."

But until then, she’s enjoying the sun, the spotlight, and the stylish stride of summer.
