Brooks Nader turns heads in sheer dress at CFDA Fashion Awards

Brooks Nader turned heads at the CFDA Fashion Awards in a sheer dress. The 29-year-old actress and model stunned when she posed for photos in a sheer black-and-white metallic dress.

She wore a sheer black-and-white dress with a halter neckline and an attached hood. Her black underwear was visible beneath the dress, which she paired with dark red nail polish, two rings, small hoop earrings and a pair of open-toed black high-heeled shoes.

She styled her hair in an updo which was mainly kept hidden beneath the hood of the dress, keeping one strand out to frame her face. Her makeup look was natural, with nude lipstick and winged eyeliner.

Stepping out in a revealing dress is nothing new for Nader. In September, she was photographed in New York wearing a fully sheer black dress which featured short ruffled sleeves, a high neckline and a fitted silhouette that fell below her knees. She paired the dress with black undergarments, pointed-toe pumps and a clutch. Her blonde hair fell in loose waves down her back.

She is now preparing for the premiere of the "Baywatch" reboot, which she stars in alongside Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne, Stephen Amell and others.

The original "Baywatch" dominated television from 1989 to 1999 and featured stars including David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra, Nicole Eggert and Donna D'Errico.

Of Pamela Anderson, Nader told Fox News Digital, "Pamela Anderson was the muse of all muses, and she's been on my vision board forever. So, we're going to pay homage to Pam and all the muses of 'Baywatch' to the best of our ability. Big shoes to fill. Huge."

Nader grew up with conservative parents in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. On the red carpet at the FOX Upfront 2026 in May, she told Fox News Digital that two-piece bikinis were banned in her home growing up.

She told Maxim magazine in September 2025 that her parents were "totally against" the idea of her pursuing a career in modeling and acting. She, however, had an obsession with Hollywood and fashion, and after attending an open call in Miami, made it into the 2020 issue of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition and was named Rookie of the Year.

"Then, five years later, I made it onto the cover," she said. "I think people really started to take me seriously then. And, yes, I did send a signed copy over to my former agents, too."

When it comes to her conservative parents and their reaction to her starring role in the reboot, Nader says "they're pumped about 'Baywatch' because it's a one-piece [swimsuit]." She added, "We weren't allowed to wear two-piece bikinis growing up. So they're like, 'You're following the family rules. You're wearing a one-piece [swimsuit]. So, we're all good.'"

Nader spoke at the FOX Upfront 2026 red carpet in New York in May. She has also attended a CFDA event celebrating the start of New York Fashion Week.
