The 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue launch party in New York City was an affair to remember, and it appears that cover star Brooks Nader is reminiscing on the star-filled red carpet event.

The Louisiana native shared a carousel of black-and-white Instagram photos captured at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City on May 18. In the first, Nader offered up her megawatt smile for the camera as she posed in a one-shouldered mini dress and heels. The second snapshot showed Nader posing for photographers on the red carpet. She tagged makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell, hairstylist Mitchell Ramazon and stylist Margot Zamet.

“Marilyn moment // @si_swimsuit cover night 🤍 still pinching myself,” she wrote in her caption.

Though its not evident in the Oct. 15 photos, Nader’s ruched Monique Lhuillier dress was a stunning shade of teal, which she accented with sparkly platform Stuart Weitzman heels.

Tons of the model’s 1.1 million followers piped in to the comments section with praise.

“Iconic throwback,” sister Mary Holland Nader noted.

“Red carpet slay!” someone else added.

“❤️❤️❤️❤️ the best night!” 2023 Swim Search finalist Sharina Gutierrez cheered. 

“Simply iconic 😍,” Anna Maria Olbrycht gushed.

Nader landed her SI Swimsuit Issue cover this year after her photoshoot with James Macari in the Dominican Republic. She was discovered during the brand’s Swim Search in 2019 and was declared the open casting call winner. She’s returned to the fold each year since, posing for the publication in the Bahamas, Bali, Hollywood, Fla., and Montenegro.
