Pamela Anderson stepped out for the premiere of her Netflix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story (now streaming!), in a bombshell red dress that's got us remembering her days as a TV lifeguard.
While the garment might look, at first, to be the colour of the Netflix logo (she was, after all, at Tudum Theatre, and yes I'm sorry they named it that too), fans will immediately clock that she's wearing the signature shade her character, C.J. Parker, along with her fellow guards, wore on Baywatch, the hit ’90s series that catapulted Pamela to fame.
The tank cut of the dress is reminiscent of her famous cossie's top, though her dress wasn't waterproof but beautifully beaded and paired with Louboutin heels. Perhaps the event organisers got a tip-off about her look, because they eschewed a red carpet in favour of a soft pink, which complements rather than clashes. (Okay, the beading also reminds us a tiny bit of that recent crystal-covered Doja Cat look.)
Pamela was accompanied to the event by her two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee, both of whom have been vocally supportive of their mother telling her story in this film and in her recent memoir. When she announced the book on Instagram, they both left super-excited messages. “LOVE YOU!!! ❤️” wrote Dylan, with Brandon adding, “I am so proud of you! What a huge year this is gonna be! You deserve it!! ❤️❤️❤️”
Glowing!
This isn't the first time a Pamela Anderson-style ‘Baywatch dress’ has made a splash. Back before The Hunger Games gave her worldwide name recognition, Jennifer Lawrence was an up-and-coming actor who'd just left The Bill Engvall Show and snagged a surprise Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone. When she showed up to the ceremony in a figure-flattering red dress and a bouncy blowout, it signalled the arrival of Hollywood's Next Big Thing.
From being ‘flashed’ by Tim Allen to witnessing Jack Nicholson have a threesome at the Playboy Mansion.
Sooooo where can I get my mitts on one of these garments? I'm tryna look cute for Valentine's Day.
