Brooks Nader is on top of the world and having her “best year yet.” The five-time SI Swimsuit model landed one of four covers of the 2023 issue after being photographed by James Macari in the Dominican Republic for a stunning and colorful Barbiecore-inspired photoshoot. Actress Megan Fox, entrepreneur Martha Stewart and singer Kim Petras were also featured on the cover of this year’s magazine.

Nader posted a stunning pic on Instagram celebrating yet another milestone after she opened the SI Swimsuit Runway Show at Miami Swim Week alongside her three younger sisters, Grace Ann, Sarah Jane and Mary Holland. The July 7 event was held at the W South Beach.

The Baton Rouge native shared a carousel of her second look of the evening, an itty bitty textured yellow bikini, including the Candy Top ($79) and Candy Bottom ($84) from Indah Clothing.

“BEST YEAR YET,” Nader captioned the July 9 duo of photos.

“Stunning as always 😍,” Sofia Resing commented.

“Barbie is that you? 😍😍😍,” Saje Nicole asked.

“Offfff the charts 🔥,” Electra Mustaine added.

“Hottest of them all 👑,” Danielle Knudson wrote.

“A CENTURY OF BROOKS,” Jeff Lee gushed.
