Beyoncé’s proves once again that her cosplay game is unmatched. She channeled Pam Anderson in her latest video for “Bodyguard” and encouraged voting in one fell swoop.
As per The Grio King Bey put on for the culture in memorable fashion on the eve of the presidential election. On Tuesday, Nov. 5 she released the visuals for her song “Bodyguard”, one of the standout tracks from her country album Cowboy Carter. Titled “Beywatch”, the visual is a playful twist on some of Pam’s most iconic moments. The two-minute clip opens up with Beyoncé wearing a platinum blonde wig, a black body suit with matching long sheer opera gloves which is a direct nod to the iconic character Barbara “Barb Wire” Kopetski from Barb Wire.
Also included in the treatment is Pam Anderson’s memorable get up from the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards. Here the mother of three wore a large furry pink hat, a jacquard tie-up corset and some very colorful sequin leggings. To further bring the outfit and era to life she posed in front of a step and repeat that mimicked the original from 1999 but her’s says “No Visual Awards”; a reference to her limiting the amount of visuals for her albums. Lastly, Beyoncé salutes Pam Anderson’s iconic swimsuit look from her Baywatch days with a red one-piece that reads “BEYWATCH”. The video closes with a black screen wishing everyone Happy Halloween and a reminder to go vote.
