Brooks Nader’s Wimbledon Wardrobe Mishap: Period Panic Courtside
Another day, another enviable excuse to mock celebrity “drama”—but at least this one involves a genuine human moment. Brooks Nader, Sports Illustrated swimsuit star and Dancing With the Stars alum, decided to turn her Wimbledon runway into a crimson catastrophe, proving that not even tennis season can outrank Mother Nature’s schedule. According to E! News and her own TikTok reveal on July 5, the model showed off a chic polka-dot top and white midi skirt on day five of the Championships, then whirled around to showcase an unmistakable blood stain. She cheekily overlaid the clip with “tries to be chic at Wimbledon. Starts [blood emoji] at Wimbledon,” before adding the ever-relatable caption, “of course.”
Fans in the comments section (via TikTok) were quick to praise her candor: “Thank you for being so real,” someone wrote, while another chimed in, “Normalizing periods.” One voice of solidarity even dubbed it “a cannon event for all of us girlies,” because apparently sporting events need a new canon of shame. Instagram Stories on June 6 further chronicled her strategic backwards walks—purse held high and always on guard against any sneaky leaks. Meanwhile, photographers at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club snapped her grinning alongside sister Sarah Jane Nader, twinning in tennis-circuit glam without a hint of stain.
This bleeder-blunder follows hot on the heels of Nader’s split from pro partner Gleb Savchenko, as reported by People, and her triumphant embrace of the single life. She’s also gearing up for a Hulu family reality show featuring sisters Sarah and Mary Holland Nader. In an exclusive chat with E! News back in May, Brooks revealed, “I’m doing great. I’m really excited about this show that my sisters and I are filming with Hulu. We’ve been putting our all into that. I can’t wait for the world to see and meet all of the sisters.”
In short, Brooks Nader just delivered a blood-soaked reality check to every influencer glossing over real life. Call it wardrobe malfunction or call it authenticity—either way, it’s a better Wimbledon highlight than anyone’s backhand. And that’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
