Beyonce left fans in awe after she dressed up as Pamela Anderson’s iconic Baywatch character.
The Grammy-winning artist shared a series of photos on Instagram on Tuesday, where she channeled Anderson’s famed Baywatch persona in a striking red swimsuit.
Sporting a platinum blonde wig and thin, arched eyebrows, Beyoncé fully embraced the classic beach bombshell aesthetic, capturing the essence of Anderson’s iconic character C.J. Parker.
Dressed in a high-cut, branded “Beywatch” swimsuit and accessorized with a red lifeguard whistle and buoyancy aid, Beyoncé looked every bit the part of Anderson’s unforgettable lifeguard character.
Taking the tribute further, Beyoncé also recreated Anderson’s daring look from the 1996 action film Barb Wire.
In a bold and edgy ensemble, she posed on a motorbike in a leather bustier and sheer evening gloves, expertly mimicking Anderson’s character from the cult-favorite film.
Beyoncé captioned her Instagram post with “BEYLLOWEEN FIN,” marking the end of her Halloween celebration.
Fans speculated that the pop star may have drawn inspiration from Anderson after the two crossed paths at the Glamour Women of the Year event last month.
The series of images went down well with Anderson, who replied: “LOVE,” followed by a white heart emoji.
Fans largely loved the outfits, with one person writing: “BEEEEEE YOU LOOK SO GOOD AS PAM, my dream crossover tbh!”
A second added: “The way she NAILED THIS,” while a third said: “I love this! I love Pamela Anderson!”
In other news regarding Anderson, the star has recently revealed why she had to leave Hollywood.
Explaining her choice to Women’s Wear Daily, Anderson said that moving away was essential “to really kind of look at [her] life and remember who [she] was.”
Reflecting on her journey, she noted: “Not what other people were telling me I was — and I didn’t want anything that had happened to me define me. I wanted what I do to define me… all these realizations came to me in the rose garden [on Vancouver Island].”
Anderson now resides on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, where she made a new home a few years ago.
Speaking with Better Homes & Gardens, she shared that after years in Hollywood, she “needed a change,” adding: “I don’t know what happened over the last few decades, but I feel now so far removed from the image of who I was.”
Reflecting on her past, Anderson admitted that she often felt “misunderstood” and “very sad and lonely.” She confessed: “I felt like I had really screwed up, that my whole life was a bundle of mistakes.”
She acknowledged the tension between her public image and her private self, saying: “People have this pneumatic kind of image of me from Playboy to Baywatch, to my rock ’n’ roll type of husbands, to everything else. But I also played into the image that was created around me. I’m glad I did all that, but I’m really glad I’m where I am now.”
Anderson added: “Now it’s such a relief that I get to be myself and enjoy this time.”
In recent months, she has made public appearances with minimal or no makeup, a shift she describes as empowering.
In a September interview with Glamour, Anderson shared that embracing her natural look has made her feel “more comfortable in [her] skin now than [she] probably has in the last 30 years.”
