Brooks Nader strutted the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at the W South Beach for Miami Swim Week on Friday, July 7, wearing an incredible white bikini and a gorgeous yellow two-piece. She and her sisters, Grace Ann, Mary Holland and Sarah Jane, opened the show together.

Nader made her SI Swimsuit debut in 2019, when she was named winner of the Swim Search open casting call. She’s returned to the publication every year since, and Nader’s travels with the brand have taken her everywhere from the Bahamas to Bali to Montenegro. For her fifth year with the brand, the Baton Rouge native was named one of four 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue cover models after posing for photographer James Macari in the Dominican Republic.
