Is Brooks Nader the queen of the naked dress? How the Baywatch star made a name by baring all – even in front of her dad

IF you’ve seen Baywatch stunner Brooks Nader’s recent glamorous outfits on red carpets and star-studded events, you may have spotted a common thread – or rather, lack thereof. The 29-year-old appears to have decided that less is more when it comes to her sizzling, head-turning looks.

Jumping on the 2026 trend of stars like Kylie Jenner and Madonna loving nude outfits is a clever tactic, according to a PR expert. Megan Dooley, Head of Brand at TAL Agency, told The Sun: “What’s really smart about her strategy is that – from a brand perspective – it works on two levels at once.

The US star, who made her name as a swimsuit model, was in New York at an event as part of Fashion Week in the city. Her outfit before that was also risque, with Brooks stepping out in the Big Apple in a daring bejewelled top without a bra. Just days ago, she also stepped out in New York in a lacy dress – again not bothering with a bra.

However, her biggest gig to date is her role in the new reboot of Baywatch, following in the footsteps of Pamela Anderson. The model recently caused a stir after stripping off on a family holiday to Sardinia, choosing to go topless in front of the whole group, including her dad during a boat trip. Defending the decision and her close family bond, she told Entertainment Tonight: “I had the time of my freaking life. At last year’s Paris Fashion Week, Brooks wrapped up in a fur coat but left her top half exposed Credit: Splash PR branding expert Megan Dooley claims Brooks’ sheer looks are a ‘clever marketing strategy’ Credit: Splash “I don’t care if I’m not from Europe. I’m from Louisiana. I grew up in an all-girl household. We’re always naked together as sisters.” Speaking about her family on Olivia Attwood’s Olivia’s House podcast, Brooks added: “There wasn’t any alcohol, there wasn’t any cursing. “We did everything as a family, so I feel that bonded us in a crazy way.” Despite being raised “extremely Christian and extremely conservative,” Brooks was obsessed with Hollywood and fashion, and would sneak off to read magazines while in the grocery store – where she would also rip out the photos of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton before pinning them to her walls.

That’s not fulfilling. I thought it was a fairytale.” The Love Thy Nader star always fantasized about pursuing her big-city dreams but told Maxim magazine her religious parents were “totally against” the idea. “I always wanted to express myself and I wanted to look sexy.

I also had to toe the line because of where I’m from.” During her early years in New York City, taking trains to shoot images for lingerie websites in freezing cold Brooklyn and New Jersey warehouses paid then aspiring model “very little money”. But looking back at her journey, Brooks believes it taught her grit and resilience. “I’m thankful and grateful for those jobs to this day; they kept me afloat. You can’t wait for other people – it’s all up to you. You have to put in the work, go do it, and see the vision for yourself. Comment now
