Pamela Anderson Feels ‘Flattered’ by Celebrity Fashion Tributes
Celebrity fashion has long been a topic of interest, with many stars drawing inspiration from their predecessors. One iconic figure who has been paying homage to is Pamela Anderson, the 57-year-old Baywatch star. In a recent interview with InStyle, Anderson discussed how she feels about celebrities like Beyoncé and Millie Bobby Brown replicating her looks.
According to People, a publication that has been at the forefront of celebrity news for decades, Anderson feels "flattered" by these tributes, which give her "a little bit of confidence." As reported by People, Anderson explained that when she was wearing these clothes in the 90s and 2000s, they weren’t considered fashionable and often made headlines for being ridiculed.
One notable example of a celebrity paying homage to Anderson’s style is Beyoncé, who in November, delivered an accurate tribute to Anderson in her "Bodyguard" video by wearing a version of the actress’ Baywatch swimsuit and Barb Wire corset costume. As quoted in People, Anderson said, "When I was wearing these clothes, they weren’t fashionable. And they weren’t making headlines, unless they were being made fun of."
Beyoncé also put a twist on Anderson’s 1999 MTV Video Music Awards outfit, which consisted of a pink fuzzy hat and white, waist-cinching corset top. The singer first started teasing the looks for Halloween, sharing a "BEYWATCH" video on Instagram, as well as a "BEYLLOWEEN" carousel of all the looks. This move was widely reported by People and other news outlets.
Another celebrity who has paid tribute to Anderson’s style is Millie Bobby Brown, who on February 27, posted an Instagram photo wearing a gold button-down Versace dress that Anderson previously wore in 2005. As reported by People, Brown later revealed that Anderson sent her "a whole rack of clothes" for The Electric State press tour. During an appearance on the March 12 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Brown told host Alex Cooper that the jeans she wore on the program belonged to Anderson.
As quoted in People, Brown said, "I’m not lying. She gave me these pants for the press tour and they fit." Brown, 21, also explained that she chose to wear Anderson’s clothes because The Electric State is set in the 90s, and she wanted to incorporate "90s archive" pieces into her press tour wardrobe. As reported by People, Brown added, "So I was like, ‘Who are the major blondes in the ’90s?’ And I was like, ‘Okay, Pammy.’"
Anderson has also spoken about how she styles herself these days, opting for clothes that make her feel comfortable in her own skin. As quoted in People, Anderson said, "I want people to be able to project onto me different characters. Because I’m not just the wild woman in a rubber dress. That was fun, but you know, we all evolve." Anderson added, "I think it’s really important to feel desired. But, there’s a balance, and I’m just trying to find my way. I was already so stressed out — it’s such a stressful, intimidating journey to be in these rooms with these people. And I thought, I feel humble, I feel grateful. I feel I just want to kind of mix in and be a fly on the wall."
The enduring influence of Anderson’s style is a testament to her lasting impact on popular culture. As People has consistently reported, Anderson’s fashion sense has been an inspiration to many, and her influence can still be seen in the fashion choices of celebrities today. With her humility and gratitude, Anderson continues to be a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
In conclusion, it is clear that Pamela Anderson’s style has stood the test of time, and her influence can still be seen in the fashion choices of celebrities today. As People has reported, Anderson’s fashion sense has been an inspiration to many, and her legacy continues to be celebrated by fans around the world.
