Brooks Nader began New York Fashion Week by making a striking fashion statement in a sheer black lace midi dress at a CFDA event. The 29-year-old model was photographed in Manhattan wearing the daring, see-through ensemble, which featured short ruffled sleeves, a high neckline, and a fitted silhouette that extended below her knees. She paired the dress with black undergarments, pointed-toe pumps, and a clutch, accessorizing with minimal rings to allow the intricate lace pattern to be the focal point.
Nader's public appearance occurs as her personal life, particularly her highly publicized split from professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, continues to garner attention. Nader and Savchenko were partners during Season 33 of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" in 2024, and their on-screen chemistry fueled speculation about a romance that continued off the dance floor before their separation in April 2025.
Nader accused Savchenko of infidelity in August 2025 during the premiere of her reality series, "Love Thy Nader." The show documented Nader and her sisters examining Savchenko's phone after he left it behind in New York, where Nader claimed to have found messages and screenshots indicating his alleged unfaithfulness. "I don't even know what to say. I feel really betrayed," Nader stated on the show, reflecting on her deep emotional investment in the relationship.
Savchenko has firmly denied the cheating allegations, asserting in previous statements that he is a "family guy" and a "relationship guy."
The public attention on their past relationship has resurfaced as Nader's younger sister, Sarah Jane, is set to compete on an upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars." Savchenko is not returning as a professional dancer for that season. When asked about not having to encounter her sister's ex, Sarah Jane told Entertainment Tonight, "I wish him well. Glad I'm not having to deal with that awkward interaction."
Meanwhile, Nader has humorously addressed her past relationships. In a recent rapid-fire interview, when asked if she would "hex" an ex, Nader joked, "I get my revenge in other ways. I haunt them with billboards all over LA and New York. And they're like, 'I can't escape her!'"
Nader's upbringing also factored into her comments, as she previously shared with Fox News Digital that her conservative parents had initially banned two-piece bikinis, though her "Baywatch" swimsuit eventually received their approval.
