The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model had a very relatable moment in her chic outfit for the storied tennis tournament.

'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.Best of SheKnows

Brooks Nader, Jennifer Lawrence and More Stars Who Normalized Discussing Their Periods
Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lawrence, Brooks Nader and more stars have inspired others to speak candidly about their periods. For far too long, reproductive health issues were treated as taboo subjects, but public health experts and celebrities have helped make huge strides in normalizing discussions around the menstrual cycle. Dakota Johnson got very real in 2019 when discussing the ways in which she struggled physically and emotionally during her cycle. 'If I'm honest, my hormonal changes during my menstrual cycle are ruining my life," she told InStyle at the time. "Every month. It's unbelievable. It's really f****** amazing. I can't get a grip on it. I'm like, what? Every time, I'm totally scandalized about what happens to my body and my brain. My boobs are like eight times the size they normally are. It's really a traumatic thing, and it happens every month." 9 Stars Who Admitted They Didn't Love the Met Gala — and Whether They Attended Again The Materialists actress added that her experiences inspired her to partner with the charitable group Global Citizen to promote reproductive health education for the developing world. 'I really would like to understand and be able to manage things a little better, know what's happening in my body, and know what I'm putting into it,' she noted. Keep scrolling for more stories of celebrities speaking candidly about their periods. Nader revealed in July 2025 that her period unexpectedly started while she was watching a tennis match at Wimbledon. In a TikTok video, the model spun around in her cap-sleeve black blouse with a long white skirt to reveal a small bloodstain on the skirt. 'Tries to be chic. Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon,' she joked. The 'Cool for the Summer' singer told People that her mom and sister celebrated when she revealed that she'd gotten her period for the first time. 'I told my mom and my sister [when I got my first period] ... and they actually embarrassed me so bad," she joked in 2015. "My sister folded a poster board in half and made a card out of it and drew pictures, and it said, 'Happy Period Day!'' Lovato went on: '[My sister] drew stick figures and kisses, and she used red markers ... I have a pretty good sense of humor, so on one hand, I was totally embarrassed, and on the other, I thought it was awesome." The Hunger Games actress explained to Harper's Bazaar that her period has presented fashion challenges since it tends to occur right at the peak of awards season. Lawrence famously went with a 'Plan B' dress for the 2016 Golden Globes to avoid discomfort. 'Plan A was a dress that I couldn't wear because awards season is synced with my menstrual cycle, and it has been for years,' she said. "It was loose at the front. And I didn't have to worry about sucking anything in. The other dress was really tight, and I'm not going to suck in my uterus. I don't have to do that." In a 1998 Rolling Stone interview, Winslet remembered what it was like to shoot Titanic in a massive water tank at the same time as she was going through her period. 'I'm not saying it was all happy-clappy,' the Oscar winner said. '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.' I remember standing up and saying to everyone, 'Listen, if it suddenly looks like Jaws, the movie, it's my fault.'' The supermodel spoke earnestly with friend Kendall Jenner for Vogue about the way her body changed throughout her cycle. 'My boobs are small right now. They get really big when it's that time of the month,' Gigi explained. Jenner nodded along and even joined in saying 'that time of the month' with Hadid, indicating that she may have had similar experiences. Dunham has spoken about undergoing a hysterectomy in 2017 following her endometriosis diagnosis. (According to the Mayo Clinic, endometriosis is a condition that results from the 'inner lining of the uterus [growing] outside the uterus.' It can cause severe pain during menstrual cycles.) The Girls creator told The Times U.K. that the medical procedure presented its own challenges for her viability to carry a child, since her uterus, cervix and one of her ovaries were removed. Olivia Culpo, Julianne Hough and More Celebrities Who Get Real About Battling Endometriosis 'It was a grief but it was also a relief,' she said in June 2025. 'I thought I would have the opportunity to experience my fertility and my cycle waning and it never was. Instead it was a very quick, sharp cut-off … I will say we're in the process of expanding our family in new ways.' Decker revealed in 2020 that she used Depends branded underwear — which help control leakage for those suffering from incontinence.— after giving birth to her second child. (Decker and husband Andy Roddick share son Hank and daughter Stevie.) 'If you don't want to talk about periods, keep scrolling,' she joked via Instagram. 'I don't know why I'm putting this out there publicly, but wtf happens post-children that makes … well … let's just say I am now in the depends-wearing stage of my period.' The model received lots of love for speaking so frankly, with many of her famous followers sharing similar experiences. Life in Pieces star Angelique Cabral agreed that it's 'a war zone down there' after having kids, while Teresa Palmer said she was 'still waiting for [my period] to return so I can't have more babies.' Schumer fronted a PSA in 2020, in partnership with tampon brand Tampax, to encourage others to 'take control over their periods.' The humorous clip followed Schumer as she chatted with real people about their most vulnerable period stories. 'It made my heart hurt to hear about the discomfort people are putting up with because they don't understand periods or even how to use a tampon properly,' she said at the time. 'I want to do everything I can to change that. My hope is that through this partnership, we'll educate ourselves and each other and take the senseless shame out of getting your period.' Cyrus revealed to Marie Claire in 2015 that she enlisted her mom Tish Cyrus' help in a moment of dire need when she got her period on the Hannah Montana set. Unfortunately, the singer was wearing white pants at the time! 'It was so embarrassing, but I couldn't leave,' she recalled. 'And I was crying, begging my mom, 'You're going to have to put the tampon in. I have to be on set.'

Ben Shelton's sister booed by Wimbedon crowd when job revealed
Ben Shelton's sister Emma (right) was jokingly booed by the Wimbledon crowd after Shelton revealed her job in an on court interview (John Walton/PA Wire) Ben Shelton launched a public plea for his sister to get some extra time off from her job at investment bank Morgan Stanley so she could remain at Wimbledon to cheer for him. It worked. After advancing to face Italy's Lorenzo Sonego on Monday in the fourth round, Shelton spoke in an on-court interview in front of a crowd that included his sister, Emma, and his girlfriend, United States women's national team star Trinity Rodman. Advertisement "I've been playing well this week. It's not just been me here. I have a great team. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. 'Also, my sister's here. She's been here for every match that I've played this tournament so far. She's been the lucky charm," said the 10th-seeded Shelton, a 22-year-old American who has appeared in two Grand Slam semi-finals. "But she has work back in the US, starting on Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley." That comment drew some jovial boos from spectators as Emma embarrassingly covered her face with her hands. "If any of you all have some (connections) and get her a couple extra days off so she can (stay and) we can keep this rolling," Shelton continued after his 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 victory over Marton Fucsovics of Hungary on Saturday, "that'd be great." Advertisement Sure enough, hours later, Emma posted a short video on Instagram in which Ben is heard asking her, "You got the week off or what?" Ben Shelton is through to the fourth round at Wimbledon thanks to the support of sister Emma, his 'lucky charm' (John Walton/PA Wire) She jumps up and down with her arms raised and a wide smile, and Ben says, "Shoutout, Morgan Stanley." The caption reads: "thank you MS" with three blue heart emojis and "return flight: cancelled." Ben Shelton, who has won all nine sets he's played in the first week at the All England Club, takes on Italy's Lorenzo Sonego on Monday. The American previously beat Sonego in the Australian Open quarter-finals in January.
