Brooks Nader is taking her new acting role very seriously.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit star, 29, attended Fox’s “Baywatch” panel in Cannes Tuesday wearing a look inspired by one of the onscreen lifeguards who came before her: Pamela Anderson.

Nader switched up her recent parade of red dresses with black leather corset and leggings, which she paired with knee-high boots and opera-length gloves.

Her blond hair was styled in a bodacious blowout and accented with a pair of pushed-up sunglasses.

Her iconic costume was complete with a barbed wire bicep tattoo and blond bombshell hair.

The look was a clear tribute to Anderson’s 1996 superhero film “Barb Wire,” in which she stars as the titular bounty hunter.

Nader’s tribute was only missing Anderson’s famed barbed wire bicep tattoo.

Brooks is set to star in the “Baywatch” reboot as Selene, a captain of the Zuma Beach lifeguards, alongside Shay Mitchell, Livvy Dunne and Noah Beck as well as original cast members like Kelly Packard.

She’s been sporting “Baywatch” red practically nonstop on the red carpet, including at last month’s Emmys.

The crew were seen filming the forthcoming show earlier this year, with Nader and the others sporting the same iconic one-piece swimsuits on the sand.

Nader told Page Six Style in June 2026 that the project convinced her to ditch string bikinis, and she’s now “100% into one-pieces.”
