Brooks Nader Chooses Family Over Fame: Celebrating Sister Grace Ann Nader’s First Met Gala Appearance
Brooks Nader showed her support for her sister, Grace Ann Nader, at the 2026 Met Gala despite not being present at the event. On May 4, Brooks, 29, shared a post on her Instagram Story featuring a red carpet photo of Grace Ann, 25, captioning it “PROUD SISSY!”
In humorous contrast, Brooks shared another Instagram Story showing herself enjoying a drink outside a pizzeria with the caption, “Meanwhile … me,” accompanied by laughing and pizza emojis.
Grace Ann took the spotlight during her debut at the fundraiser held at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, embracing the gala’s “Costume Art” theme. She wore an elegant black strapless gown with a sheer corset and styled her hair in loose waves, radiating confidence and joy.
Meanwhile, Brooks has been in the headlines for various reasons this year, including her romantic life and career developments. In March, it was announced that she will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot on Fox. Reflecting on this career milestone, Brooks told the Daily Mail, “I think that the times are different, and everyone is so multihyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence,” highlighting the positive shift social media has brought to the industry.
Joining a diverse cast that includes Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne, and Noah Beck, Brooks expressed her excitement about the project, stating, “It was the biggest pinch-me moment of my career. I feel like this is my first big acting gig, and so I’m excited to show people what I can do.” She acknowledged the legacy of Baywatch, saying, “It’s amazing.”
In April, Brooks discussed how her newfound role has positively affected her lifestyle, saying, “I’m eating a lot healthier and I’m not partying as much, which, you know me, that’s pretty hard. But I’m doing it, and I’m working out a lot and taking care of my mind, body, that whole situation. So it’s a new era, a good one.”
Additionally, she has garnered media attention for her budding relationship with actor Taron Egerton. A source revealed to Us in April that Brooks and Taron have been casually dating and that she is “very into him.” They reportedly “hit it off immediately” when they met in Los Angeles, with the insider noting, “Brooks doesn’t want to be tied down right now but is definitely enjoying time with him and seeing where things go.” The source added that she appreciates Taron’s charm and gentlemanly demeanor.
