Brooks Nader Laughs Off Wardrobe Malfunction as She 'Busts Out' of Her Dress

Brooks Nader handled her wardrobe malfunction like a pro minutes before hitting the red carpet.

Nader, 28, took to Instagram Stories on Monday, May 11, to share a major fashion faux pas moments before she posed for photos at the 2026 Fox Upfront in New York City. In a mirror selfie, the Baywatch actress showed the back of her dress, which had split open and revealed her lace underwear.

"When you bust out of your dress 4 min before showtime!!!!" Nader captioned the post. "Classssssicc 😅🤣."

Thankfully, Nader had a seamstress on deck who was able to sew her back into the little red dress and conceal her lingerie. "We've got 4 earth angels sewing me back into this sucker," she wrote over a pic of an assistant going to work on the design.

As for her character, Nader laughed about how alike they are. "I feel like she was loosely based on myself sometimes! My sisters were like, ‘That's pretty fitting that you're feisty and mean.' But it's not too hard to play Selene. She's a fun character to play."

She added, "It's such an honor to pay homage to the original series and to the muses of Baywatch. They've been on my mood board for as long as I can remember."
