Brooks Nader

Baton Rouge native Brooks Nader joined the SI Swimsuit family as part of the 2019 Swim Search open casting call—which she won—and has appeared in the magazine every year since. Her dreams came true in 2023 when she landed her gorgeous Baywatch-inspired cover. She is the oldest of four sisters; the women all live in New York City and often work on modeling campaigns together. They recently posed for the cover of Ocean Drive, and all opened the SI Swimsuit Runway Show at Miami Swim Week together in 2023. 

Nader has built her brand around showcasing her impeccable sense of fashion and being a role model and big-sis figure for young girls everywhere. She’s partnered with notable brands like Samsung, Victoria’s Secret, Smirnoff and most recently, Hudson Jeans for a collection of clothing.

In 2024, Nader was initiated into the class of SI Swimsuit Legends for a powerful photo shoot alongside 26 other brand icons in celebration of the 60th anniversary. That same year, she competed on Season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, and while she and pro partner Gleb Savchenko were eliminated fifth, she got to show off another side of herself to the world and even included her sisters in the fun, dancing the salsa together during Dedication Night.
