Brooks Nader sizzled while attending the launch of Sports Illustrated’s 60th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue in New York on Thursday.
The model, 27, had all eyes on her when she took off her bra and put on a completely transparent floor-length black beaded dress that showed off her enviable figure.
The Baton Rouge native, who appeared on the magazine’s cover last year, wore a pair of nude thongs and black platform heels for the occasion.
The beauty also debuted a drastic new hair transformation by changing her signature dark locks to a new light blonde shade.
Her appearance at the event comes two weeks after it was revealed that she is divorcing her husband of nearly four years, Billy Haire.
Brooks Nader, 27, sizzled while attending the launch of Sports Illustrated’s 60th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue in New York on Thursday.
The model had all eyes on her as she ditched her bra in a completely sheer black beaded floor-length dress.
Brooks had her golden locks parted in the middle and styled in light waves that cascaded over her shoulders and back.
She completed her look with flawless makeup that included pink lipstick and bronze eyeshadow.
This year’s SI Swimsuit issue features four covers, featuring Kate Upton, Gayle King, Chrissy Teigen and Hunter McGrady.
Brooks appeared on one of the covers of the special issue last year.
The star also took to her Instagram on Thursday to show off her new blonde locks in a sizzling mirror selfie, where she showed off her toned midriff in a white crop top and blue jeans.
The hair transformation is recent, as last week Brooks attended the Smile Train Gala in New York City with her signature dark brown locks.
Brooks got her start after being selected and winning the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimming Search, and appeared on the magazine’s cover in 2023.
“When I was a kid, I had a copy of the magazine pinned to my bulletin board,” she previously said The New York Post. “Coming from a small town in Louisiana, I never thought this was an option, but my parents always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and that’s exactly what I did.”

Brooks got her start after being selected and winning the 2019 Sports Illustrated Swimming Search, and appeared on the magazine’s cover in 2023.
In 2019, she convinced her mother to fly to Miami with her for the Swim Search open casting call, which she won by beating out more than 10,000 contestants.
“I loved the process because they didn’t even look at me in a swimsuit for the initial casting,” she told the outlet.
‘They got to know me as a person and asked me what I was passionate about. They wanted to get to know Brooks as a person, not as a model. He surprised me when I didn’t walk into the room and heard, ‘Okay, now.’ “It was like a therapy session.”
Brooks has appeared in the Sports Illustrated Swiming issue every year since, but 2023 was his first cover.
It was reported earlier this month that the star and her ex-husband, a businessman, have been living apart for months and are divorcing.
A source told DailyMail.com that the couple made the decision to end their marriage amicably.
The couple was last publicly photographed in early February while on vacation in Mexico.
Notably, Nader attended the recent 8th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards alone on April 28.
She didn’t acknowledge their most recent wedding anniversary on social media, and Haire hasn’t appeared on the model’s Instagram since December 2022.
Nader and Haire were married on December 14, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 330 of their closest friends and family, a representative for Nader said. PEOPLE.

Nader gushed about how “excited” she was to finally “call [Haire] “husband” and who was looking forward to their future together.
Haire is vice president of media company The Arena Group, which owns Sports Illustrated.
Because of this, Nader said he always understood the pressures of her job and fully supported her.
“He’s busy too,” she explained. ‘He does his thing and although sometimes we are like ships passing in the night, he works perfectly for us.
“And when we get mad at each other, I’m probably about to get on a plane.”
