Brooks Nader proved she can handle just about anything with confidence after an unexpected wardrobe malfunction during Miami Swim Week. The model and former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant was enjoying a beachside event when her red dress slipped while she played in the ocean with friends, but she quickly recovered and carried on with the festivities like a pro.
Wardrobe Malfunction in the Ocean
Brooks Nader, who will be starring in the “Baywatch” reboot on FOX, was seen playing in the surf while wearing a red off-the-shoulder minidress. She was seen alongside Stassi Schroeder, Molly Sims, and others at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Beach Club at W South Beach, as Page Six shared.
While they were frolicking in the ocean, Nader appeared to have lost a strap on her dress. The top fell down as she was riding the shoulders of a friend in the water.
Photos were taken, which showed the former “DWTS” contestant wading in the water while she attempted to hold the dress up over her chest.

Brooks, 29, was also seen with her sisters Mary Holland, 26, Grace Ann, 25, and Sarah Jane, 22. They were seen filming their reality series “Love Thy Nader” during the outing. She did appear to have taken a tumble at some point, as her soaked red dress was covered in sand.
Brooks and her sisters are joining several other celebrities who are attending the star-studded swimsuit event in the Sunshine State. Besides the Nader sisters, Kristin Cavallari and Megan Thee Stallion have already been seen walking the runway in skin-baring swimwear.
Not Brook Nader’s First Wardrobe Malfunction
This wardrobe malfunction for the reality TV star isn’t Brook’s first brush with a fashion disaster. Earlier this month, Nader appeared at the 2026 FOX Upfronts to promote the new “Baywatch” show. While there, she narrowly avoided another incident while wearing a different red dress.
At that time, she told PEOPLE about the incident, “What a lot of people don’t know is this dress broke in the car two minutes before I pulled up, so I’m sewn in, and the zipper isn’t a thing.”
Back in October, Brooks was attending a Vogue party with Sarah Jane. During the party, her left breast popped out of her plunging white blouse, Page Six reported.
Then, in August 2025, she made fun of herself after having another wardrobe malfunction during a yacht trip in Italy. For that incident, she added a pair of star emojis over her nipples when her white dress slipped down to expose her chest.
In July 2025, fans praised Brooks after having a wardrobe malfunction at Wimbledon. The model unexpectedly started her period. She normalized the moment by showing off the stain on her white skirt on social media.
Nader captioned the video, “Tries to be chic. Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon.”
Fans jumped in the comments to defend the clip. One person wrote, “You’re so real for this,” and another added, “Thank you for normalizing what we go through.”
