52-year-old Molly Sims arrived at the 2026 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch in New York in a sheer black floor-length gown, while Brooks Nader wore a plunging black dress on the red carpet.
Hard Rock Hotel New York hosted the party for the new issue, which includes both Sims and Nader and drew a wider cast from this year’s magazine lineup.

Fetty Wap capped the event with a surprise performance of "Trap Queen," "679" and "Again," joined onstage by the three cover stars as the launch broadened beyond a red-carpet showcase.
