Alix Earle picked up a first down for fashion while ringing in New Year’s Eve.
The Dancing With the Stars alum, 25, showed off her elevated take on the naked dress trend, sharing pics of herself in the sheer mauve-brown number she was spotted wearing while mingling with Tom Brady.
Earle posted a series of snapshots including selfies and photos with her friends via Instagram on Thursday, January 1, striking a pose in the sultry garment featuring a lightweight barely-there fabric that hugged the waist and hips before falling straight to the floor. The dress also featured a deep V neckline that elongated her silhouette.
Her hair was styled in soft, loose waves with a center part and she opted for glowy minimal makeup with a subtle contour, voluminous lashes and a nude lip.
“2026 we have arrived,” she captioned her latest post. Earle’s pal Nina Dobrev, who was also featured in her latest post, commented, “Yes. We. Have ‼️”
Earle has been flooded with comments after she and the former Patriots quarterback, 48, were recently seen at the same event in St. Bart’s on Wednesday, December 31, looking cozy while chatting amongst each other.
In a now-viral video captured at a night club, she leaned over to whisper something in Brady’s ear while rubbing her hand along his back.
“They were at a yacht party and met, and broke off from the larger group, talking for a lot of the night,” a source told Page Six.
Leading up to the festivities, Earle revealed she was looking forward to “good vibes” and a fun evening out going into 2026. “Get ready with me for New Year’s Eve in St. Bart’s,” Earle said in a TikTok video. “We’ve been staying on a boat with friends, but we’re going to a party tonight that’s going to be on land. Calvin Harris is playing.”
Earle rang in the new year shortly after calling it quits with Braxton Berrios. Luxury Handbag Shopping reported in December that she and the Houston Texans player, 30, broke up after two years of dating.
“[The] majority of their relationship was long-distance and it was hard for them to navigate,” an insider exclusively told Us at the time. “They mutually agreed on the split.”
Earle also spoke out about moving on with her life post-split in an Instagram video, telling her followers, “Braxton and I are no longer together. We have been doing long distance since, basically, June and we haven’t got to see each other that often. It’s just been really difficult for me.”
As for Brady, he was last romantically linked to model Irina Shayk after his divorce from Gisele Bündchen following 13 years of marriage. The exes, who share son Benjamin, 16, and daughter Vivian, 13, announced their split in 2022.
Although the retired NFL legend has yet to address the romance rumors with Earle, Brady did kick off the new year with a cryptic quote posted on January 1, which read, “People are not beautiful for how they look or speak. They’re beautiful for how they love, care and treat others.”
