Jaw-dropping looks at the Sports Illustrated launch party

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Launch party featured some of the world’s most beautiful women but one model stood out in a jaw-dropping “naked” dress.

Brooks Nader, who appears in the magazine’s famous swimsuit edition, wowed in a dress that was completely sheer apart from some sparkly embellishments.

The model was among a host of celebrities who attended the weekend-long festivities at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

The model’s dress featured a plunging neckline with Nader protecting her modesty by wearing a pair of nude undies.

Sparkly dresses were a big theme of the magazine’s festivities, with Brazilian model and Victoria’s Secret angel Lais Ribeiro wearing a metallic mini dress that featured flapper-style tassels.

Megan Thee Stallion also wore a sparkly number. The rapper’s sheer dress featured a side split up to her waist.

Also in attendance was former beauty queen turned model Olivia Culpo, who wore a breathtaking white evening dress.

The long-sleeved dress by LaQuan Smith featured several racy cut-outs showing off her toned stomach and legs.

Culpo’s look was a hit with her fans on Instagram, who labelled the model’s dress “stunning” and “made for you”.

Of course it wouldn’t be a celebrity event these days without at least one underboob look — with Kristen Louelle Gaffney wearing a halter crop top.

The blogger and Sports Illustrated swimsuit search finalist brought the beach vibes by pairing the top with a sarong-style skirt.

Wearing perhaps one of the most covered-up looks of the even was Haley Kalil, who wore a sexy tuxedo and pants combo.

Rounding out the beachy looks was Camille Kostek, who embraced the event’s swimwear theme in a white bikini top and palazzo pants.

One of the best looks of the night however came from Katy Evans, a 57-year-old model appearing in Sports Illustrated swim edition as the oldest – and shortest at 157cm – model to appear in its pages.

The married mum-of-one looked incredible in an elegant white blazer dress while wearing her hair down in relaxed waves.
