Brooks Nader Turns Sardinia Into a Splashy Runway in Thong Bikini and Cowgirl Glam
Quinn Parker here — okay, pour me another espresso because Brooks Nader has given us a full-on Mediterranean moment that I cannot stop talking about. Picture this: the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit alum balancing on a floating obstacle course off Sardinia while rocking a thong bikini bottom with absolutely nothing up top in one Instagram Story snapshot, then slipping into a bedazzled cowgirl‑inspired Ermanno Scervino corset dress the next night. Yes, she’s really doing both in the span of 24 hours, and yes, people are watching.
Let’s get the facts straight and spicy. On Wednesday, Nader posted Instagram Story photos that show her on an inflatable obstacle course in the waters near Sardinia. The images capture her toned derrière in a brown thong-style bikini bottom while she goes topless, covering modesty with her pose and the angle of the shot. The pictures are public on her social feed, and they came during a sisters’ getaway with Mary Holland Nader, Grace Ann Nader, Sarah Jane Nader, and friends.
Fast forward to Thursday evening and the vibe took a country‑glam detour: the group glammed up in coordinated cowgirl‑inspired looks. Brooks chose a semi-sheer blue corset dress by Italian house Ermanno Scervino, topped with a bedazzled cowgirl hat, leaning into high‑fashion meets festival energy. The contrast between aquatic, carefree daylight and polished, photo‑ready night looks reads like a mini editorial running across her Instagram Stories.
Why does this matter beyond the postcard scenery and cheeky beachwear? For starters, Brooks Nader isn’t just any influencer; she’s a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model and a former Dancing with the Stars contestant, roles that come with attention and scrutiny. Secondly, the trip doubles as promo: Brooks and her sisters are marketing their upcoming Freeform reality show Love Thy Nader, which premieres August 26. Posting candid, glamorous, and slightly provocative moments while abroad is textbook modern publicity—personal life as marketing and vice versa.
There’s also the optics: public topless photos by an established model feed fashion and body‑positive conversations, and they generate engagement that studios and networks monitor closely. Fans reacted in comments and direct messages, and entertainment outlets picked up the story quickly, tying the viral vacation content back to the sisters’ reality series announcement.
Let’s not ignore the wardrobe detail nerd in me: Ermanno Scervino’s semi-transparent corset—an Italian label known for luxe femininity—paired with a crystal‑studded cowboy hat is a calculated risk that reads glamorous yet playful. It signals that Nader is leaning into high fashion moments between candid poolside shots, which broadens her appeal from swimwear star to a lifestyle figure with runway sensibilities.
So what’s next? The sisters are in Italy promoting family chemistry, leaning into both glamorous styling and breezy beach freedom to drum up buzz for Love Thy Nader. Expect more behind‑the‑scenes snippets, wardrobe swings, and strategic sultry snaps as they lead up to the show’s late‑August debut.
Alright, I need to inhale because this trip is peak content creation: sun, sequins, and strategically posted snaps. Keep your phones charged; I have a feeling the Nader sisters aren’t done yet.
Quinn Parker signing off — I swear, I could talk about this all day.
