Brooks Nader Suffers Major Wardrobe Malfunction While Lounging on Yacht in Italy but Handles Situation with Grace

Brooks Nader suffered a major wardrobe malfunction on a yacht in Italy that left her breasts accidentally exposed. The influencer took to Instagram Stories share photos from a high-profile yacht trip, and in one particular photo, she wore a fitted white dress without a bra while reclining on the boat. However, as she reached for her cowboy hat while laughing, the neckline of her dress slid down. To avoid a full mishap, the model covered her boobs with two star emojis before sharing the photo with millions of her fans. She completed her look with bold gold jewelry, aviator shades, and a radiant smile as she lounged on the yacht.

Actress Lina Ng plays 'doctor' at son's medicine faculty ceremony

As a child, Lina Ng dreamt of one day becoming a doctor. That did not happen, and over her 32-year-long acting career, the Singaporean has also never played one. However, on Aug 14, the 51-year-old finally got to be "Dr Ng" for a few moments. And no, it was not for a drama. It was at the white coat ceremony of her second son, Joel, who has been accepted into the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The ceremony was when the NUS Medicine Class of 2030 donned their first white coats and pledged to serve with integrity and compassion. The presentation of white coats by faculty to the students symbolise their taking on the mantle of a doctor in training, guided by the principles and responsibilities of their future profession. Ng is married to former national bowler Mike Lam, in his 50s, and they have three sons - Jeriel, 21; Joel, 19; and Samuel, 14. In a video posted by her on Instagram, In the middle of posing for photos at the event, Joel, who was dressed in the coat, removed the garment and placed it on his mother, who began beaming from ear to ear.
