Brooks Nader turned up the heat once again for the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She slipped into one of the tiniest looks from the magazine’s latest shoot in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The model posed in a barely-there cream crochet bikini by Chloé Rose that relied on two delicate strings to hold the entire look together.

Photographed by James Macari, Nader embraced the bohemian beach aesthetic of the editorial while posing against colorful tiled walls and rustic wooden backdrops. The handmade crochet bikini featured an extra-small bandeau top. It had scalloped detailing and extremely thin halter ties that were barely visible. She paired this with matching string bikini bottoms that sat low on the hips. They featured minimal side ties that looked almost invisible.
The open-knit crochet texture of the ‘Open Shell bustier‘ also gave the swimsuit a semi-sheer finish under direct sunlight. Chloé Rose later celebrated the feature on Instagram. The label is described as a youthful, beach-inspired swimwear brand known for its cheeky cuts, playful textures, and statement handcrafted pieces designed with “beach babes” in mind.
Nader kept the styling natural and glowy. She wore her blonde hair in soft, tousled waves with glowing makeup and glossy nude lips. The warm neutral palette of the bikini contrasted perfectly against the vibrant Mexican tiles and tropical greenery surrounding the set.
As noted by SI, the star has become one of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s most recognizable figures after winning the brand’s Swim Search open casting call in 2019. Since then, she has appeared in every issue. She also landed the 2023 cover after her Dominican Republic shoot. Outside of modeling, Nader competed on Dancing With the Stars Season 33 and currently stars alongside on a Hulu reality series.
