Brooks Nader flashed her abs on Thursday night while supporting model pal Elsa Hosk at her PrettyLittleThing event in West Hollywood.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue star, 27, strutted into the Petit Ermitage hotel wearing a skimpy all-black outfit.
She had on a black lace miniskirt and a cardigan with sheer sleeves that she left partially unbuttoned to show off her midriff.
Nader — who is ‘dating’ DWTS pro Gleb Savchenko — slipped on a pair of black high heels and kept her bouncy blonde tresses off her face with a headband.
She accessorized her sexy look with elegant pearl necklaces and shiny gold earrings.
After getting in her solo photos, Nader met up with Hosk, who is collaborating with the fast fashion brand on a new collection.
The Victoria’s Secret vet, 36, towered over Nader in a sexy LBD and sky-high heels.
For an elegant touch, Hosk threw on a pair of sheer black tights.
Her light blonde hair was worn in a sleek bun, allowing her to show off her impeccable bone structure.
Nader’s appearance at the invite-only soiree comes just days after she admitted to previously experimenting with the popular weight-loss drug Ozempic.’I took, like, a little bit when it first came out, and everyone was doing it,’ she confessed to Us Weekly on Tuesday at the launch of Bio.Me.
But the side effects were just too much for the model to manage while also working up a sweat and dancing on national television.
‘It made me really nauseous,’ she explained. ‘I liked it — I am not going to lie — and when I went on Dancing With The Stars, I could not do both.’
Brooks competed on the popular dance contest reality series with her professional dancer partner Gleb Savchenko, whom she dated while on the series.
Ozempic is the brand name of the drug that is FDA approved for treating type-2 diabetes, while the same drug is confusingly branded Wegovy and used to treat obesity.
A similar generic weight-loss drug, tirzepatide, is sold under the brand name Mounjaro when it is prescribed as a diabetes treatment and Zepbound when it’s prescribed for weight loss.
The drugs slow down digestion and makes food pass more slowly between the stomach and intestines, which can make users feel full sooner, prevent them from overeating and help to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
However, common side effects can include the nausea that Brooks suffered from, as well as diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain and fatigue, among other issues.
However, controversy has swirled around semaglutide and tirzepatide variants in recent years.
The medications have been difficult to access in recent years due to shortages, which may be caused by doctors prescribing the medicines off-label, especially to people who don’t meet the clinical criteria for a prescription.
People who are not dealing with obesity or type-2 diabetes are recommended not to use Ozempic or similar weight-loss drugs.
Some critics have also worried that long-term side effects of the drugs may not be well known, though their benefits to people with diabetes or struggling to lose weight for health reasons are considerable.
Brooks admitted that when she was taking Ozempic she ‘lost a little bit of the motivation and the strength to work out.’
Ultimately, Brooks ‘picked dancing’ over continuing to use the weight-loss medication.
‘I put the shot away,’ she admitted.
Despite her seeming commitment to DWTS, Brooks and Gleb only reached ninth place and were eliminated in the show’s ninth week.
The couple claimed to be dating while filming, though fans accused them of carrying on a ‘showmance.’
They split shortly after their time on the series ended, but then they appeared to reunited ove the Thanksgiving holiday and they have since insisted that they are still together.
The 5ft8in beauty’s Ozempic use was first suggested in a humorous TikTok video she posted last week.
She participated with her sisters in a game in which each person took turns slowly jogging while another sibling followed them and shared a secret or suspicion about them.
When it was Brooks’ turn, one of her sisters narrated: Suspect randomly lost 20 pounds. Says it’s from working out, but she got on Ozempic.’
Brooks immediately turned around and pointed her finger at the camera and shouted ‘Don’t!’ as she started to crack up.
When she was asked about the viral video, she called her sisters ‘little brats.’
‘I was like, “Are you enjoying this?”‘ she told Us Weekly. ‘I can’t get away with anything around them. … They run around the house and they just rat me out on everything. If you want anything, ask them, they will tell you all my secrets.’
Despite having cast aside her weight-loss drug, Brooks still managed to lose a significant amount of weight on DWTS, especially considering how petite she was at the start of rehearsals.
‘I lost a lot of weight, like, especially towards the end,’ she shared, admitting that she lost 10 to 15 pounds.
‘I kind of loved it, but also I would be like, “I wasn’t toned,”‘ she said.
‘It’s a thing and then I got really, really toned because … it’s, like, subconscious; you’re dancing six hours a day and then, when you finally get a moment to look in the mirror, you’re like, “Oh, wait a minute, OK. This is paying off in more ways than one, so I loved that aspect.”‘
But after her DWTS journey came to an end, Brooks worried about whether she would be able to keep up her pristine physique without the grueling rehearsal sessions.
‘My first thought was “Oh s***. What is going to happen to my body?”‘ she admitted.
She worried about potentially ‘gaining weight,’ and even if she was able to keep the weight off, she feared that her new-found muscles and definition would disappear.
Brooks admitted she had gained some weight back, but she said the small amount was ‘fine.’
