Beyonce Channels Pamela Anderson, Urges People to Vote in New ‘Bodyguard’ Video

In what is apparently the first official video to be released from her months-old “Cowboy Carter” album, Beyonce comically channels Pamela Anderson’s “Baywatch” look in a new clip for the song “Bodyguard” — retitled “Beywatch,” naturally enough.

The  video, which dropped early Tuesday, is uncharacteristically low-budget for the singer, shows the singer in a variety of settings, rocking a red swimsuit styled like Anderson’s. It is an unusual Election Day message, as it is more Halloween-themed and only references the election when the singer pulls out a prop pistol which releases a flag that reads “Vote.”

In addition to Anderson’s “Baywatch” look, Beyonce also channels “Barb Wire,” in a black dress and high boots, as well as the actor’s outfit in the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.
