Beyoncé Channels Pamela Anderson As She Encourages The U.S. To Vote, 'Baywatch' Actress Responds

Beyoncé has stunned fans with a jaw-dropping transformation, using her latest music video and an unexpected muse—Pamela Anderson—to inspire American fans to get out and vote.

The Grammy-winning singer capped off her Halloween costume series with an homage to some of Anderson's most iconic characters. On Tuesday, November 5, also known as Election Day, she released the music video for her song “Bodyguard” from her new album "Cowboy Carter," making it the country-inspired album’s first official visual component.

In the video, Beyoncé channels several of Pamela Anderson’s classic looks as she sends a message about voting on Election Day.

The video offers fans a nostalgic journey through Anderson’s most memorable roles, with Beyoncé adding her own signature twist, including a black corset dress as Barb Wire, the character Anderson played in the 1996 action movie of the same name.

While donning this outfit, she fires off a prop gun, popping out the word "Vote" on a red flag, clearly acknowledging Election Day.

She also rocks the iconic red swimsuit of C.J. Parker, Anderson’s unforgettable "Baywatch" character.

"BEYWATCH," she wrote in the caption.

In a follow-up post, Beyoncé shared photos showcasing her costumes from the "Bodyguard" music video, along with shots of herself wearing Anderson's iconic pink fuzzy hat from the 1999 MTV VMAs. She captioned the carousel, "BEYLLOWEEN FIN."

Anderson shared her support, commenting on the post, "LOVE [white heart emoji]."

The "Scary Movie 3" alum reposted Beyoncé's carousel on her Instagram Stories, adding a heart emoji and captioning it, "Don't call me bey..." with a kissy face emoji.

In a notable show of support for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, Beyoncé attended the “Reproductive Rights” rally in Houston, Texas, last month. Sharing the stage with her Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé underscored the importance of voting and reproductive rights.

She expressed, "I'm not here as a celebrity. I'm not here as a politician. I'm here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about the world. A world where we have the freedom to control our bodies. A world where we're not divided."

"Our past, our present, our future merged to meet us here," the singer continued. "Imagine our daughters growing up, seeing what's possible with no ceilings, no limitations. Imagine our grandmothers. Imagine what they feel right now. Those who have lived to see this historic day. Even those who are no longer physically with us. Imagine all of their sacrifice. The sacrifices made so we can witness the strength of a woman standing in her power."

Though Beyoncé didn’t perform at the rally, her music was prominently featured. Most notably, "Freedom," a powerful track from her 2016 "Lemonade" album, has been embraced as Vice President Harris's campaign anthem.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé gave Harris permission to use the song, linking its messages of empowerment and liberation with the campaign’s advocacy for reproductive rights and individual freedoms. “It’s time to sing a new song, a song that began 248 years ago," she said. "The old notes of downfall, discord, despair, no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering a prophecy, a quest, a calling, an anthem."

“Our moment is right now," Beyoncé added. "It is time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a chorus of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity. Are you all ready to add your voice to the new American song? Because I am. So let’s do this.”

Earlier this year, former President Donald Trump's campaign encountered legal issues over the unauthorized use of Beyoncé's song "Freedom."

In August 2024, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung posted a video featuring the track without permission.

In response, Beyoncé's record label and music publisher sent a cease-and-desist letter to the campaign, resulting in the video's removal.

On Tuesday, November 5, polling stations opened nationwide, with results expected to start coming in as polls close in each state.
