Brooks Nader is back to brunette! Sports Illustrated model reveals her hair transformation for beach day in Miami… as she showcases her toned body in tiny string bikini

Sports Illustrated cover girl Brooks Nader showcased her bikini body while enjoying a beach day on Friday in Miami.

The statuesque stunner, 27, flaunted her flat stomach and her ample cleavage in a tiny blue string bikini.

Brooks rocked a triangle top with thong bottoms, adding a delicate necklace, bracelets and earrings.

The model carried a cold drink in her hand as she frolicked in the water.

Brooks returned to her brunette roots, after she went blonde for a week for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue promotional tour.

The cover girl had her brunette locks on May 14th at SiriusXM Studios in New York City.

The bikini beauty sported blonde hair for about a week – as she hit the red carpet for SI’s promotional tour.

Brooks debuted her blonde locks on May 16 at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch in New York.

The star, who was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, opted to lighten her hair after rocking brunette locks prior.

She paired her blonde hair with a see-through mesh dress from Tom Ford’s archives.

The stunner went braless, wearing only thong bottoms beneath.

This year’s SI issue has four covers, one with Kate Upton, one with Gayle King, one with Chrissy Teigen and the final one with Hunter McGrady.

Brooks graced one of the special issue covers last year.

Brooks got her start in 2019, after she was selected and won the Sports Illustrated 2019 Swim Search.

‘Growing up, I had a copy of the magazine pinned to my bulletin board,’ she previously told The New York Post. 

‘Being from a small town in Louisiana, I never thought this was an option, but my parents always encouraged me to chase my dreams and that’s exactly what I did.’ 

In 2019, she convinced her mom to fly to Miami with her for the Swim Search open casting – which she won by beating out more than 10,000 other contestants.

‘I loved the process because they didn’t even look at me in a swimsuit for the initial casting,’ she told the outlet.

‘They got to know me as a person and asked what I was passionate about. They wanted to know Brooks the person, not as a model. I was surprised when I didn’t just walk in the room and hear, ‘OK, next.’ It was like a therapy session.’

Brooks has been featured inside the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition every year since, but 2023 was her first cover.

Three days after debuting her blonde hair, she showed it off at a bash in Hollywood, Florida, rocking a sheer black top and ripped denim bottoms. 

She also sported blonde hair at another event, which took place at TheGuitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida on May 18.

Brooks wore a white crop top and mini skirt with her golden hair.

She also attended a May 18th event at the same hotel and posed on the red carpet in a feathered halter mini dress with her blonde hair.

The model rocked her blonde hair at the beach on May 19th in Miami for a beach day.

Brooks split with her husband of nearly four years earlier this month.

Brooks and husband Billy Haire are divorcing, DailyMail.com can confirm.

The couple decided to part ways amicably, and have been living apart for months.

Brooks and Billy wed on December 14, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
