Brooks Nader marked Labor Day in Beverly Hills with two different takes on the peep-toe heel.
The model and “Love Thy Nader” star spent Labor Day Monday shopping in Beverly Hills, making a stop at YSL in the house’s Babylone mules. The style — cut in brown lambskin — is gathered through the vamp and finished with a gold Cassandre threaded at the center. A pointed peep toe and slim stiletto heel kept the profile sharp, balancing the ruching across the upper.
Nader built the look from the shoes up. A cropped brown leather jacket picked up the mule’s tone, while a slouchy suede tote nodded to early-2000s proportions. Straight denim softened the lines, breaking just enough at the hem to frame the peep-toe opening. Oversized black sunglasses finished the look.

The “Dancing With the Stars” alum was also seen in a second shoe look while leaving Dolce & Gabbana: white peep-toe pumps paired with a fitted white T-shirt and black belt. The switch also brought a new bag into focus — a structured Saint Laurent top-handle she had been spotted browsing in-store. Where the Babylone mules leaned logo-forward, the white pumps offered a stripped-back counterpoint.
It’s the latest turn in a rotation that, until recently, was all metallic shine. Nader leaned on Aquazzura’s mirrored Purist stilettos through August, wearing them at Monterey Car Week and again at the rooftop premiere of “Love Thy Nader.” She pivoted briefly to cream patent pumps at Sunset Towers before moving into this week’s peep-toe focus.
At Saint Laurent, the emphasis was on proportion and detail rather than surface. The Babylone mules, part of the house’s core lineup under Anthony Vaccarello, highlight archival codes like ruching and logo hardware in a pared-back shape. For Nader, the style keeps the attention at shoe level while the rest of the look stays within the same tonal range.
Peep-toe cuts themselves have been gaining traction again, showing up in both sandal and pump forms as an alternative to the closed pointed toe. Quinta Brunson used glossy black patent open-toe shoes to ground her striped Missoni set at the TV Academy’s Televerse Festival in mid-August, while Julia Fox leaned on Saint Laurent’s Romy mules — a pointed peep-toe stiletto — for Cara Delevingne’s birthday party earlier in the month. Emily Ratajkowski and Becky G have also worked similar black slip-ons into their rotations over the summer, underscoring the silhouette’s resurgence across both carpet and off-duty settings.
