Brooks Nader shows off her stunning figure in yellow bikini for Sports Illustrated

MODEL Brooks Nader pockets a coveted cover star slot.

The US beauty, 26, has celebrated her fifth year in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue.

And Brooks, seen here in a yellow bikini complete with pockets and white buckles, appeared on the cover for the first time.

Brooks says she had no idea she was picked alongside actress Megan Fox, 37, and pop star Kim Petras, 31.

Brooks, 26, said: “This is my fifth year shooting for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit and I had no idea I was going to be on the cover alongside Martha, Megan and Kim.

“The entire Swimsuit team surprised me on set over the weekend with the news, so I had to keep it a secret for two days.”

She is also an actress and has appeared alongside Sylvester Stallone in action film Backtrace.

But Sly is not the only Hollywood star she has rubbed shoulders with.

Earlier this year, she and her sister Grace joined actor Richard Gere for a charity dinner in New York.

The trio attended The 40th Anniversary Gala: House Of Harvest which was hosted by Tyson Beckford.
