Brooks Nader Wears “Baywatch Red” Bandage Maxi Dress at FOX’s MIPCOM Photocall in Cannes
Brooks Nader wore a vivid red bandage maxi dress to FOX’s Baywatch photocall at MIPCOM 2026 in Cannes with black heels and sparkly studs.
Brooks Nader has decided that if she’s going to promote “Baywatch,” she may as well dress in the show’s official color. The model and actress headed to Cannes on October 12 for FOX’s photocall at MIPCOM 2026, held at the Palais des Festivals, wearing a very bright, very fitted red maxi dress.
The dress was a bandage-style gown with that classic horizontal banding, a low V-neckline and short cap sleeves, hugging her figure all the way down to the floor. It had a cutout detail at the back and a side slit at the hem, so she could pose and still walk. She kept things simple and let the color do the talking: no sequins, no embellishments, just one saturated shade. Very tall black heels peeked out under the hem, and a pair of sparkly stud earrings, plus a couple of subtle rings, were her only jewelry.
Her hair got the full glam treatment, too. Brooks wore her blonde hair in big, loose, voluminous waves, with the front pulled back from her face for a bit of old-Hollywood bounce. Her makeup stayed warm and glowy, with a soft pink flush and a glossy nude lip.
Brooks is best known as a model who rose to fame through Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, and she later competed on “Dancing With the Stars.” She joined the “Baywatch” reboot earlier this year as a lifeguard, and this isn’t the first time she’s gone red for the show. You can see Brooks Nader in a red Rodarte sequin gown at the Emmys, a look that nodded to the series too.
The new “Baywatch” stars Stephen Amell, Noah Beck, Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne and Brooks, with original cast members Erika Eleniak and David Chokachi returning. It’s now aiming for a late January 2027 debut on FOX, after earlier hopes of a fall 2026 start. Stephen joined Brooks at the Cannes photocall in a white blazer over black.
In the photos, she poses against the blue-and-white MIPCOM stage with the marina in the background, and she also took a few on the beach and on a terrace with the harbor behind her.
