Nader made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2019, and she has impressively appeared in every issue since.
In 2023, she graced the cover and revealed she landed her first SI Swimsuit gig after waiting hours at an open casting call.
“It was more empowering to do it through that channel because it was more rewarding whenever I got that ‘yes,’” she reflected at the time.
“It was also rewarding because in the modeling industry at that time I was getting a ton of ‘nos’ and [editor-in-chief] MJ Day gives me a stamp of approval and everyone’s like, ‘Oh my God, now we want to work with you.’”
In May 2024, she told Page Six that she sent her SI Swimsuit cover to the modeling agencies who rejected her.
