Brooks Nader Revives the ’90s Slip Dress in Saint Laurent at ESPY Awards 2025

Brooks Nader revived the slip dress at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles as she walked the red carpet for the star-studded ESPY Awards 2025.

Known for her bold fashion choices, Nader wore a white silk slip dress by Saint Laurent sourced by Janet Mandell. The garment featured a deep plunging neckline with thin spaghetti straps that create a halter-style silhouette. The bias-cut construction allowed the fabric to drape closely to the body, creating a column silhouette that extends to floor length.

The dress embodied the current trend of ’90s-inspired slip dressing that has been seen on recent red carpets, emphasizing clean lines and sensual minimalism.

Nader completed the look with her straight blond hair styled in loose waves that cascade over one shoulder. Her makeup accentuated a bronzed, sculpted look, featuring nude-toned lips and defined eyes.

In recent years, Nader has continued to rise in the public eye with high-profile modeling gigs, magazine features and notable public appearances. She was among the many guests at the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding in Venice in June. The model also attended The Championships, Wimbledon earlier in July, wearing a look from Lipsy London.

Currently promoting her upcoming reality show on Hulu, “Love Thy Nader,” the model has often been seen wearing body-con silhouettes at red carpet events, wearing looks by Monot, Saint Laurent, and other designers.

The 2025 ESPY Awards, hosted by comedian Shane Gillis, air live on Wednesday from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and stream on ESPN+. The annual event, presented by ESPN, brings together elite athletes, celebrities and sports fans to celebrate the most memorable achievements, moments and stories from the past year in sports.
