It’s tradition to wear white to Wimbledon, but the color of the outfit doesn’t always take into consideration someone’s menstrual period. Just ask Brooks Nader.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model had a very relatable moment in her chic outfit for the storied tennis tournament. She looked fabulous in a black-and-white, polka-dot shirt and a long, white denim skirt with a zippered front. Everything looked perfect until she twirled around in her July 4 TikTok video.

“Tries to be chic,” the 28-year-old influencer wrote on the clip. “Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon.” As she turned around, the period stain was evident — and it’s probably happened to everyone who menstruates at some point in their lives. Nader’s Wimbledon moment was completely relatable.

The comments under the former Dancing With the Stars contestant’s video applauded her honesty. “You’re so real for this,” wrote one fan. Another added, “🩸 happens. Thank you for NORMALIZING it,” added another follower. And of course, there’s also one supporter to remind Nader that she’s “ICONIC.”

Nader isn’t the only celebrity out there trying to end period stigma. Katy Perry accepted her Video Vanguard Award at the September 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with a classic opening statement. “Oh my gosh. I did that all on my first day of my period, too,” she said at the podium after performing a medley of her greatest hits. “Can you believe it?” Yes, Katy, we do believe it!

Another Kate, Kate Winslet, was an early adopter in talking about her period. She described to Rolling Stone in 1998 what it was like to work on Titanic with Leonardo DiCaprio while on her monthly cycle.

“I’m not saying it was all happy-clappy. There were days when you’d just think, ‘Oh, my God, I’ve got my period and I can’t get in that freezing-cold water today,’” she revealed. “I remember standing up and saying to everyone, ‘Listen, if it suddenly looks like Jaws, the movie, it’s my fault.’”

So, let’s keep the conversation flowing — having a period is normal, even if it does come at inopportune times once in a while.
