You can't keep Brooks Nader down.

A wardrobe mishap during a gal's time of the month is no laughing matter, but despite the critics, SI Swimsuit model Brooks Nader bounced back stunningly with her head-turning gown at the 2025 ESPY Awards. Known for taking fashion risks, Nader's white Wimbledon look recently went viral after a relatable period mishap, and for this year's ESPYs, the model chose another white gown, all while promoting her newest partnership in the process.

Needless to say, the setback turned into a comeback, as Nader has landed a deal with Kotex, which she promoted on her Instagram before the awards. "The last time I wore all white, I had a mishap and it made headlines🩸," she wrote in her caption, adding, "This time, I’m not taking any chances and brought backup. Thanks for the assist."

As for her actual outfit, Nader wore a plunging white V-neck dress from YSL, making it the ultimate comeback moment, which was complemented by her flawless tan and glow thanks to Luna Bronze’s brand new no-commitment Instant Bronzing Cream, which just hit shelves last week.

Perfect for big nights out, or in-between tanning days, the Instant Bronzing Cream delivers a naturally bronzed look that blurs imperfections and enhances your skin tone from head to toe. Plus, it's infused with skin-loving ingredients including Jojoba Seed Oil, Desert Lime (Citrus Glauca), and Quandong.

Celebrity MUA Janice Daoud prepped Brooks for the event, sharing a breakdown of her look afterwards. "Inspired by Brooks’s recent trip to Venice, I brought together 90s-inspired makeup with bronzed, glowing skin for a look that felt effortless yet elevated on the carpet," she shared in a statement.

"The Instant Bronzing Cream melted seamlessly into her skin with the help of the Luna Bronze Contour Blending Brush, leaving a smooth, even finish across her shoulders, arms, and décolletage. The soft-focus glow tied perfectly into the makeup enhancing her natural warmth and completing the look with a subtle, golden radiance."
