Brooks Nader almost broke the internet with her Halloween costume on Friday, October 30.

The 29-year-old, who will star in the upcoming Baywatch reboot, swapped the iconic red swimsuit for a tiny pink bikini to pay homage to one of the show's most iconic stars.

Brooks transformed into Pamela Anderson, but instead of a nod to the show, she recreated Pamela's July 2001 Playboy cover.

The actress looked phenomenal in the minuscule two-piece, which featured a string top that barely covered her chest and a matching thong.

She also wore a blonde wig with bangs, towering pink platform heels, and held a pink gun, just like Pamela did on the original cover.

It wasn't just Pamela's look that was recreated; the coverlines on the original 2001 Playboy cover were used, too.

"Paying homage to my favorite playboy covers," Brooks captioned the post, and her followers quickly expressed their admiration.

"I think you broke the internet," one commented. A second said: "I think you won for best costume. A Pam Anderson Playboy cover is brilliant." A third added: "My jaw just dropped."

Brooks stars in the upcoming Baywatch reboot

Brooks will soon be seen as Selene, the captain of the Zuma Beach Lifeguards, in the Baywatch reboot, and called her casting a "pinch me moment."

"It's such an honor to pay homage to the original series and to the muses of Baywatch," she told Extra. "They've been on my mood board, both Carmen Electra and Pamela Anderson, since before I can remember.

"I feel like I kind of manifested this role with my Sports Illustrated cover [in] 2023. I was wearing the red one-piece, and I was like, 'This is so Baywatch,' and lo and behold here we are."

She added: "It's a pinch-me moment, and hopefully we make everyone proud. We're honored to be filling those shoes."

Starring in the reboot is a 'pinch-me' moment for Brooks

The original Baywatch series, led by David Hasselhoff and starring Pamela Anderson, Nicole Eggert, Yasmine Bleeth, and more in a rotating ensemble format, was a cultural juggernaut when it aired, first on NBC for a single season in 1989-90, then on syndication until May of 2001.

While there have been spin-off versions and even a 2017 film adaptation (starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron), this is the show's first official return to the airwaves since the aughts.

The Baywatch reboot will arrive as part of Fox's 2026-27 TV season, slated to premiere on the network in late January 2027 with 12 episodes.

Stephen Amell was the first official cast member announced. He will play the lead role of Hobie Buchannon, son of Mitch Buchannon (Hasselhoff), who is a Baywatch Captain.

Jessica Belkin plays Charlie Vale, the daughter Hobie never knew he had, who reunites with him to become a Baywatch lifeguard like her father and grandfather. 

The reboot also stars Hassie Harrison, Thaddeus LaGrone, Noah Beck, Shay Mitchell, and Livvy Dunne. David Chokachi and Erika Eleniak are so far the only two original stars set to reprise their roles.
