Spring is right around the corner, and if you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe, allow model Brooks Nader to be your muse.

The reality television star recently attended a launch party for performance shapewear brand Layer Zero, and the 29-year-old Baton Rouge native made the case for lighter-hued leather for the warmer season. For the event, which was held at the WSA building in New York’s Financial District, Nader wore a light tan leather-like ensemble, which consisted of a strapless corset top with a plunging bodice and a knee-length skirt with a thigh-high slit.

Nader’s monochromatic ensemble featured pointed-toe pumps in a similar nude shade, while she kept her accessories minimal, with just a necklace. The model wore her long locks down in waves, and her makeup consisted of pink cheeks and a glossy lip.

Other celebrity guests in attendance at Tuesday evening’s celebration for Layer Zero included model Kiana Alexis and author Candace Bushnell.

And while Nader’s latest look is perfect for spring, the model is no stranger to monochromatic fashion that suits various seasons. Last fall, she wore dark brown from head to toe for an Alice + Olivia event. Her outfit consisted of an almost floor-length coat, which she wore cinched at her waist with nothing underneath. A pair of matching pants rounded out the ensemble, which also featured knee high boots in the same color and a coordinated purse.

Nader’s fashion-forward ‘fit isn’t the only monochromatic neutral we’ve spotted lately. Below, check out just a few more nude ensembles that we’re using to compile our spring mood board.

While attending the Max Mara runway show during Milan Fashion Week on Feb. 25, Thumann put on a gorgeous monochromatic display in the form of a gray coat, muted pants and pointed-toe nude heels. Not only a great example of layering for the spring season, this outfit serves as the prime example of how to mix and match neutrals.

Zoë Kravitz

In her own monochromatic style, Kravtiz attended the Saint Laurent fall/winter womenswear 2026-27 runway show during Paris Fashion Week on March 3. The actress donned chocolate brown from head to toe, and brought some texture to her outfit in the form of a fur coat, which she tucked casually underneath one arm for photo ops.
