After dressing up as a plethora of icons for Halloween 2024, including Betty Davis, Beyoncé paid tribute to Pamela Anderson in her new music video.

"Beywatch" serves as the music video for Beyoncé's song "Bodyguard." Throughout the video, the singer wears Anderson's most iconic outfits.

Wearing a long blonde wig, Beyoncé poses in a black strapless catsuit, patent knee-high stiletto boots, and sheer black gloves, emulating Anderson's glamorous Barb Wire outfit. In another clip, Beyoncé can be seen wearing a huge pink fluffy hat with a white corset, which Anderson wore to MTV's Video Music Awards in 1999. Designer Ivy Supersonic was responsible for creating Anderson's unforgettable pink hat.

Finally, the former Destiny's Child singer wears the red one-piece swimsuit worn by Anderson during her tenure on Baywatch. Beyoncé even recreated Anderson's slow motion run along the beach.

Beyoncé surprised Kamala Harris' Houston, Texas rally on October 24, when she gave an empowering speech to the crowd.

She continued, "A mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in, a world where we have the freedom to control our bodies, a world where we’re not divided."

Beyoncé's speech was heard by more than 30,000 in-person attendees, and was livestreamed to five million viewers in the United States.
