    The cover girl sported her brunette locks on May 14 at SiriusXM Studios in New York City.

    The bikini beauty wore blonde hair for about a week – as she hit the red carpet for SI’s promotional tour.

    Brooks debuted her blonde locks on May 16 at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch in New York.

    The star, born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, opted to lighten her hair after previously rocking dark brown locks.

    She paired her blonde hair with a sheer mesh dress from the Tom Ford archives.

    The stunner went braless and only wore thong panties underneath.

    This year’s SI issue features four covers, one with Kate Upton, one with Gayle King, one with Chrissy Teigen and the last with Hunter McGrady.

    Brooks graced one of the covers of special editions last year.

    Brooks got her start in 2019, after being selected and winning the Sports Illustrated 2019 Swim Search.

    “Growing up, I had a copy of the magazine pinned to my bulletin board,” she previously said The New York Post.

    “Coming from a small town in Louisiana, I never thought this was an option, but my parents always encouraged me to pursue my dreams and that’s exactly what I did.”

    In 2019, she convinced her mother to fly her to Miami for the Swim Search open casting – which she won by beating out more than 10,000 other contestants.

    “I loved the process because during the first casting, they didn’t even look at me in a swimsuit,” she told the outlet.

    ‘They got to know me as a person and asked what I was passionate about. They wanted to know Brooks as a person, not as a model. I was surprised when I didn’t just walk into the room and hear, “Okay, next one.” It was like a therapy session.”

    Brooks has been featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue every year since, but 2023 was her first cover.

    Three days after showing off her blonde hair, she showed it off at a party in Hollywood, Florida, wearing a sheer black top and ripped jeans.

    She also wore blonde hair to another event, which took place on May 18 at TheGuitar Hotel at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

    Brooks wore a white crop top and miniskirt with her golden hair.

    She also attended a May 18 event at the same hotel and posed on the red carpet in a feathered halter mini dress with her blonde hair.
