The Los Angeles social calendar just got a heavy dose of French elegance and Hollywood high-glam.
On Friday evening, heritage beauty brand Clarins hosted its annual “Night of EXTRA” event at the iconic Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, drawing a coastal elite crowd that ranged from Victoria’s Secret icons to the newest faces of TV reboots.
While the guest list was packed with A-listers, it was Baywatch newcomer Brooks Nader who commanded the red carpet, proving why she’s the most talked-about casting choice for the upcoming Fox revival.
The ‘Baywatch’ Effect: Brooks Nader’s Daring Red Carpet Look
Brooks Nader, 29, arrived at the Dolby Terrace in a ensemble that balanced editorial edge with classic bombshell appeal.
The model-turned-actress chose a dark gray, semi-sheer dress that featured an unapologetically low-cut neckline and a mermaid-style midi skirt.
The shimmering mesh fabric caught the flashing lights of the paparazzi, highlighting the results of the rigorous “bikini body” training she’s been undergoing for her role as Selene in the Baywatch reboot.
Nader, who first rose to fame as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl, is taking her career to the next level as she prepares to star alongside Stephen Amell and original cast member David Chokachi.
Her character, described as the “sharp-tongued Captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards,” is already being compared to the legendary roles of the 90s, and Friday’s look certainly leaned into that “Zuma Beach boss” energy.
Completing her look, Nader opted for a voluminous blowout and a rosy, flushed makeup palette—likely a nod to the event’s skincare-focused hosts.
She elevated her frame with metallic peep-toe heels, a choice that showcased her athletic silhouette as she glided through the star-studded parade.
The Clarins event served as a rare public outing for one of Hollywood’s most enduring power couples: Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo. Married since 2014 and now parents of three, the pair opted for a coordinated, edgy aesthetic.
Levine, 47, kept it sharp in a monochrome black polo and tailored trousers, while Prinsloo, 37, embraced a rock-and-roll vibe in a strapless leather dress featuring an embroidered bodice.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel added a touch of timeless sparkle with a diamond tennis necklace.
Joining Prinsloo in the “supermodel corner” was fellow Angel Candice Swanepoel.
Swanepoel, also 37, provided a stark contrast to the darker outfits of the night, appearing like a vision in an elegant white maxi dress.
The floor-sweeping silhouette was paired with mermaid-inspired beach waves and sparkling heels, epitomizing the “clean girl” aesthetic that Clarins has championed for seven decades.
Beyond the fashion, the red carpet was a place for celebrating personal milestones.
Actress Samara Weaving, known for her breakout role in Ready or Not, glowed as she proudly displayed her growing baby bump.
Weaving, who is expecting her first child with director husband Jimmy Warden, wore a skintight, off-the-shoulder black dress.
She balanced the classic maternity look with a bold smoky eye and a vibrant pink lip, proving that pregnancy only enhances a red-carpet radiance.
The event also saw a sophisticated appearance by Desperate Housewives alum Jesse Metcalfe and his girlfriend, real estate agent Helene Immel.
Metcalfe, who has spoken recently about the “grounding” benefit of dating someone outside the core entertainment industry, looked dapper in a pinstriped suit.
Immel complemented him in a luxurious baby pink satin gown featuring a corset-inspired bodice.
Hosted at the Academy Museum, the “Night of EXTRA” was more than just a party; it was a celebration of Clarins’ deep-rooted connection to Hollywood.
The French beauty brand, famous for its Double Serum and Lip Oils, has a history of attracting top-tier talent to its soirées.
In previous years, the guest list has featured names like Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Brosnahan, and Elsa Hosk.
This year’s event centered on the “Extra-Firming” energy of the brand, a theme that resonated through the diverse guest list—from the youthful energy of rising stars like Nader to the established elegance of icons like Swanepoel.
As the sun set over the Los Angeles skyline, the Dolby Terrace remained illuminated in Clarins’ signature red, marking another successful chapter in the intersection of skincare and cinema.
