C.J. Parker, is that you?
Halloween might be over, but Beyoncé is just unveiling her C.J. Parker transformation on the grid—and it’s just as over-the-top as you’d expect. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer expertly paid homage to Pamela Anderson’s most iconic looks in an Instagram carousel shared on Tuesday, November 5. Complete with ‘90s pencil-thin eyebrows, bleach-blonde hair, and of course, a riff on Anderson’s iconic red one-piece swimsuit, Beyoncé’s Baywatch babe moment had fans doing a double take.
Kicking off her Pamela series, Bey posed in the 1996 plunging black body-con gown that Anderson famously wore with elbow-length black gloves and thigh-high black leather boots on the set of Barb Wire. The multi-hyphenate leaned into the ‘90s beauty aesthetic, copying the style of Anderson’s platinum blonde bangs and bombshell layers as well as her signature skinny brows, smokey shimmery purple eyeshadow, and nude glossy lips.
Urging viewers to vote in the “Beywatch” video, Beyoncé also shared still clips of herself posing on a black motorcycle, drinking a glass of whiskey, smoking a cigarette, and running in place while wearing a bright red version of Anderson’s Baywatch swimsuit with side boob-baring cutouts. Holding a white rope that she twirled like a lasso, she sang and seductively danced along to her track “Bodyguard.”
Along with the surprise Halloween-themed music video, Bey also shared some stills from her Anderson transformation, which she captioned “Beylloween Fin.” The star referenced the Playboy model’s 1999 MTV VMAs look, right down to the pink furry hat and white corset bustier, as well as a pair of glittery sequin leggings paired with black heeled sandals and a purple choker. A smoky eye, bold lip liner, and voluminous blonde curls completed her dupe look.
While Bey could have been Pamela’s long-lost twin sister, she also shared some personalized details referencing the Beyhive throughout the Halloween series. For example, she swapped out the word “Baywatch” for “Beywatch” on the front of her high-cut red swimsuit, and credited “Pamela Anderson Bee” in a recreation of Anderson’s Barb Wire movie poster.
