Brooks Nader has us doing a double take on Tuesday when she channelled her inner Pamela Anderson when she stepped out in Cannes.
While promoting the reboot of the beloved 90s programme, the 29-year-old actress slipped into a waist-cinching corset in black leather, which featured a plunging neckline, pairing the daring piece with black skin-tight bottoms.

The blonde bombshell added a pair of long black gloves and slipped on a pair of knee-high boots, similar to an iconic look worn by Pamela Anderson in the 1996 film Barb Wire.
Pamela played the character Casey Jean "C.J." Parker between 1992 and 1997.
Brooks was in Cannes for MIPCOM, a TV industry event where broadcasters and producers showcase and sell shows, and attended a Fox panel promoting Baywatch’s return.

Brooks addressing criticism
Addressing the backlash the reboot has received for casting influencers, Brooks previously told the Daily Mail: "I think that the times are different and everyone is so multi-hyphenate now, and you can be both an actor and an influencer and have influence and that's the beauty of the culture that social media has created."
“We now have platforms. I think, during the ‘90s, you didn’t have social media, you didn’t have Instagram or TikTok, and so people could use their voice now, and I think as long as they’re using it for good… I think that it’ll bring a vibe to the show,” Nader told the Daily Mail.

“I think that there are so many amazing platforms and voices that are on the show, in the cast, and I think it’ll only help the series,” she added.
Talking about landing the role, Brooks said: "It was the biggest pinch-me moment of my career. I feel like this is my first big acting gig, and so I’m excited to show people what I can do and obviously big shoes to fill.
"Baywatch [was] such an iconic series, and we have such a stacked cast of amazing talent. And so I know everyone’s gonna love it. It’s amazing," she continued.
