Brooks Nader Splits Dress 4 Minutes Before Baywatch Reboot Red Carpet

6 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 12
  • 4 minutes before the 2026 FOX Upfronts in New York, Brooks Nader said her dress "busted open" and exposed her white lace underwear in a backstage mirror photo.
  • 4 people then sewed her back into the red minidress, which she later wore on the red carpet while promoting FOX's new "Baywatch" reboot.
  • Nader, 29, plays lifeguard captain Selene in the series and called landing the role a "pinch me moment" at the event.
  • The reboot has already drawn online criticism over "influencer casting" because Nader, Noah Beck and Livvy Dunne are involved, though Nader has argued social-media reach can help the show.
Can the new 'Baywatch' truly escape the shadow of the iconic original series?
Is influencer casting a smart Hollywood strategy or a threat to traditional acting?
