Brooks Nader battled a near-fatal wardrobe malfunction like a pro while promoting the upcoming “Baywatch” reboot at the 2026 Fox Upfronts on Monday night.
Wearing a bright red halter-neck minidress, Nader pulled off a barely-there look just moments before arriving at the event.
The 29-year-old model spoke to People magazine about her appearance on the red carpet, saying, “What a lot of people don’t know is this dress fell apart in the car two minutes before I pulled over. So I had it sewn in and the zipper wasn’t an issue.”
“Where would I be if there was no chaos? Of course,” the Sports Illustrated model added.
Nader shared a photo of the “mess” on her Instagram Stories after the event, writing, “When I took off my dress 4 minutes before showtime!!! Class.”
The photo showed the star’s back in a mirror, torn from top to bottom.
The image below shows the look in progress as her team sewed her into a bodycon mini.
“Four Earth Angels are sewing me back into this sucker,” she wrote.
Nader will appear as a lifeguard in the Baywatch reboot, and the color choice is reminiscent of the lifeguard’s red swimsuit from earlier appearances.
Her co-stars got the memo, too, with Livy Dunn wearing a scarlet blazer dress and Shay Mitchell wearing a vintage T-shirt.
Let’s hope their on-screen wardrobe remains intact.
