Brooks Nader appears in new SI Swimsuit photos from Loreto, Baja California Sur, wearing a bikini that consists almost entirely of strings. The model’s 2026 image was captured by James Macari, and Sports Illustrated confirmed that the suit is designed by Andi Bagus against the stunning rocky desert coastline in Mexico.

Check out Brooks Nader in a two-string bikini:
In the image, Nader sports a deep brown triangle bikini featuring thin neck ties, slim underbust strings, and matching side-tie bottoms that are cut high on the hips. A pale shell-like medallion anchors the top, while windblown waves, bronzed glam, and a smoky eye elevate the beach portrait from casual to polished.
This SI Swimsuit moment also carries historical significance. She joined the franchise in 2019 after winning Swim Search, has appeared every year since, landed a cover in 2023, and became an SI Swimsuit “legend” in the 60th-anniversary issue. This marks her ninth consecutive shoot with the brand, and the 2026 issue is set to hit newsstands in May.
Fans responded enthusiastically. One commented, “the hottest.” Another exclaimed, “STUNNING as ever!?” A third remarked, “VETERAN ??”
