Decked out in a sizzling red halter minidress, Nader experienced a near wardrobe catastrophe that could have sent her into a tailspin. “What a lot of people don’t know is this dress broke in the car two minutes before I pulled up, so I’m sewn in and the zipper isn’t a thing,” she revealed to People, showcasing her quick thinking under pressure.

“What would me be without chaos? Makes sense,” the Sports Illustrated stunner quipped, embracing the madness that surrounded her. The chaos didn’t end there; Nader took to Instagram Stories post-event to share snapshots of her last-minute rescue operation, captioning one with “When you bust out of your dress 4 mins before showtime!!! Classssssicc.”

The images told a story of their own: one showed the back of her dress torn wide open, while another captured her team frantically sewing her back into the body-hugging mini. “We’ve got 4 earth angels sewing me back into this sucker,” she joked, highlighting the frantic yet supportive atmosphere.

As she prepares to take on the role of a lifeguard in the “Baywatch” reboot, Nader’s choice of fiery red pays homage to the iconic lifeguards of yesteryear. Her co-stars were clearly on the same wavelength, with Livvy Dunne rocking a matching scarlet blazer dress and Shay Mitchell opting for a laid-back vintage tee.
