Brooks Nader took a hint from the ’60s on Wednesday while attending the Joe’s Jeans x Dani Michelle dinner in Los Angeles. The model paired a wide headband with a cropped cardigan, evoking one of the decade’s “It” girls, Brigitte Bardot.

Nader completed her ensemble with straight-leg jeans, round-toe pumps, gold statement earrings and a matching timepiece. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl, who attended the event alongside her sister Sarah, wore her dirty blond tresses in waves, while her makeup consisted of brown eye shadow, coral blush and a glossy mauve lip.
Stylist Dani Michelle, whose celebrity clients include Kendall Jenner and Daisy Edgar-Jones, recently debuted a capsule with Joe’s Jeans. Her exclusive edit includes several of the brand’s bestselling denim styles, as well as cashmere cardigans and leather pieces.
Nader’s appearance at the event follows her recent elimination with dance partner Gleb Savchenko from ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars.”
In August, WWD exclusively revealed that Nader is collaborating with Hudson Jeans on her first apparel collection, out in March.
“I got a little denim boot camp over at the Centric Brands’ office in L.A., and it was so fascinating,” she said, referring to the company that owns and operates Hudson.
Nader also elaborated on her personal connection to the brand, which she frequently wore in her youth.
“We grew up riding horses, country, little Southern girls, and we always, always, always had to have a pair of Hudson jeans.…It was the thing you had to wear, because it made your butt look so freaking good. If you weren’t wearing those in high school, no one was looking at your butt,” she said.
The model’s Hudson capsule comprises 17 pieces, including trendy straight-leg and low-rise denim silhouettes. It also features closet staples like white T-shirts and leather jackets. Nader was particularly inspired by the “off-duty” styles of ’90s supermodels: her mood board was plastered with vintage photos of Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington.
