Brooks Nader Channels Pamela Anderson Look While Promoting Baywatch Reboot

The Barb Wire–inspired leather outfit at MIPCOM signals a nostalgia-driven marketing push that highlights her shift from modeling to scripted acting.

Overview

  • Nader attended Fox’s Baywatch panel in Cannes at MIPCOM on Tuesday to promote the upcoming reboot and speak with network and production executives.
  • She wore a black leather corset, leggings, knee-high boots and opera-length gloves that explicitly referenced Pamela Anderson’s 1996 Barb Wire costume, omitting only Anderson’s barbed-wire bicep tattoo.
  • Nader is billed to play Selene, captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards, in a cast that includes Stephen Amell, Shay Mitchell, Noah Beck, Livvy Dunne, Jessica Belkin, Hassie Harrison, Thaddeus LaGrone, and Luke Eisner.
  • The production was filmed on beach sets earlier in 2026 with cast members seen in the franchise’s iconic one-piece swimsuits, and Nader has used recent red-carpet and festival appearances to reposition herself toward scripted roles.
  • Nader has publicly defended casting influencers by saying multi-hyphenate careers are common now, and the campaign’s nostalgic styling and industry push suggest Fox is accelerating marketing ahead of the series rollout in early 2027.
