Brooks Nader, 29, turned heads at a CFDA event Wednesday night with a sheer black lace midi dress that left little to the imagination.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model arrived at the Manhattan gathering in the see-through number, which featured short ruffled sleeves, a high neckline and a fitted silhouette falling below her knees. She paired the look with black undergarments, pointed-toe pumps and a clutch, keeping accessories minimal with just several rings while her blonde hair fell in loose waves down her back.
Nader posed for photographers outside the venue, showing off the dress from multiple angles before joining the festivities kicking off New York Fashion Week.
The daring appearance comes amid ongoing public interest in Nader’s personal life following her split from former “Dancing with the Stars” partner Gleb Savchenko. The pair were paired during Season 33 of the ABC competition series in 2024, and their chemistry quickly fueled romance speculation that continued off the dance floor until their April 2025 breakup.
Nader accused Savchenko of cheating during the August 2025 premiere of her Freeform reality series, “Love Thy Nader.” Cameras captured Nader and her sisters going through Savchenko’s phone after he accidentally left it behind in New York, where she claimed to have discovered messages and screenshots indicating infidelity.
“I don’t even know what to say,” Nader said on the show after looking through his phone. “I feel really betrayed.”
She later reflected on her emotional investment in the relationship.
“I really did believe everything he said about how special I was to him and what I meant to him,” Nader said. “I gave a little piece of me away to this relationship because I was so all in on it, and I really did love him.”
Savchenko has strongly denied Nader’s allegations.
“I’m not a cheater,” he previously said. “I’m actually a family guy. I’m a relationship guy.”
The former couple’s history has resurfaced as another member of the Nader family prepares to enter the “Dancing with the Stars” ballroom. Nader’s younger sister, Sarah Jane, is competing in the upcoming season, though Savchenko is not returning as a professional dancer.
When Entertainment Tonight recently asked Sarah Jane how she felt about not having to cross paths with her sister’s ex on the show, she kept her response brief.
“I wish him well. Glad I’m not having to deal with that awkward interaction,” Sarah Jane said.
Meanwhile, Nader appears to be finding humor in her dating history. During a recent rapid-fire interview with StyleCaster at the “Practical Magic 2” premiere, the model was asked whether she would ever “hex” an ex.
“I get my revenge in other ways,” Nader joked.
“I haunt them with billboards all over LA and New York,” she added. “And they’re like, ‘I can’t escape her!'”
The billboard quip lands as Nader’s profile continues to rise across fashion and entertainment spaces. Her CFDA appearance marks a notable New York Fashion Week moment, positioning the model at the intersection of high-fashion credibility and reality-television notoriety.
Nader’s “Love Thy Nader” series continues to air on Freeform, with cameras capturing the aftermath of her split from Savchenko alongside her family’s dynamics.
