Think Brooks Nader, world famous Sports Illustrated swimsuit supermodel, isn’t relatable? Well, here she is on TikTok poking fun at herself for having a period mishap in a white skirt at Wimbledon. Except for the Wimbledon part, who among us doesn’t have a similar story to share? Stars, they’re just like us!

In a July 5 TikTok, the model shared a video of herself playfully showing off her ’fit—white midiskirt and on-trend polka-dot top—to a pair of friends, who look at her askance, while the cartoon blinking sound plays in the background. The camera then flips to show a small red stain on the back of Nader’s skirt. She wrote over the vid, “Tries to be chic. Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon.” In the caption, she added, “Of course 🎾.”
Honestly, for those of us who get periods, is there a more universal experience than being surprised by your period at an extremely inopportune moment?

Not that she is, clearly, but Nader need not be too embarrassed, because the comments are full of praise for her realness. Wrote Jessica Biel, for instance, “So real. Love that you shared this 👑.” And Tampax (the brand), commented, “Iconic tbh.” Many people applauded Nader for “normalizing” occasional leaks, which really do happen to everyone. Others thought that the oops moment only made Nader more chic.
One commenter, referencing Nader’s penchant for naked or nearly naked fits, wrote, “The one time you wear something non sheer and maxi,” to which Nader replied, “LITERALLY 😭😭 back to sheer.”
Apparently Brooks Nader wasn’t kidding about that, because on July 8 she was spotted freeing the nipple in a sheer black top on a dinner date with friend Lauren Sanchez in Paris, per photos published by the Daily Mail.
