Brooks Nader's Italian Adventure

Brooks Nader is living her best life in Italy, and she's taking her fans along for the ride. Over the weekend, the model lit up Instagram with behind-the-scenes snaps from a tantalizing photo shoot in Portofino. From polka-dot bikinis to leopard-print swimsuits, Brooks served up a dose of vintage glam, often posing next to a cherry red race car that added extra flair to the setting.

“Woke up in Portofino 🇮🇹,” she shared excitedly on Sunday. “Soo excited for this shoot!!” Each morning for Brooks started early, with a routine of coffee and ice baths for her face, followed by an invigorating session of red light therapy.

Star-Studded Collaboration Hints

While keeping project details hushed, Brooks tagged some high-profile names throughout her posts. She hinted at a team-up with renowned photographer David Yarrow, top celebrity hairstylist Larry King, stylist Nicole Allowitz Skolnik, and makeup artist Lisa Potter-Dixon. The tags suggest a high-fashion campaign brewing behind the scenes, complete with cinematic and glamorous vibes.

“It was a glamorous day in the office,” Brooks mused as she shared her day with fans.

Known for her daring fashion choices and Old Hollywood allure, Brooks is no stranger to making waves in eye-catching swimwear. This latest shoot feels fit for a modern Italian film, with yacht views and retro-chic sunglasses adding to the scene.

Brooks' Big Role in 'Baywatch'

This Italian escapade comes as Brooks prepares for her next big thing. Back in March, she revealed she has a starring role in the upcoming Baywatch reboot on FOX, set for the 2026–2027 season. Her character, Selene, is portrayed as a sharp-tongued lifeguard captain, set to clash with Stephen Amell's character, Captain Hobie Buchannon.

Brooks recently explained why she skipped the Met Gala: filming commitments for Baywatch kept her busy in Los Angeles, while her sister, Grace Ann Nader, rubbed shoulders with a disguised Bad Bunny at the event. The amusing encounter added a touch of celebrity sparkle to Brooks’ already glittering summer.

With the Baywatch reboot bringing together a star-studded cast, including Noah Beck and David Chokachi, Brooks' summer is shaping up to be a blend of Baywatch and La Dolce Vita.
