New York — Model and actress Brooks Nader experienced an unexpected wardrobe setback just minutes before stepping onto the red carpet at the 2026 FOX Upfronts in New York City, where she was promoting the upcoming Baywatch reboot.
The 29-year-old star had a last-minute fashion crisis when her fitted red mini dress tore at the back, leaving her briefly exposed and forcing a rapid on-the-spot repair just minutes before her scheduled appearance.
Nader later shared a candid behind-the-scenes glimpse from the dressing room, showing the extent of the damage as the garment split open shortly before showtime. She took the moment in stride, joking about the timing while documenting the mishap on social media.
Rather than switching outfits entirely, the dress was quickly repaired by a team working backstage. In another image from the preparation process, Nader was seen having the garment carefully stitched back together as she prepared to return to the event.
Despite the chaotic lead-up, she soon appeared on the red carpet alongside her Baywatch co-stars, confidently wearing the restored dress, which highlighted her look for the high-profile industry event.
