A lot has changed since "Baywatch" first hit TV screens at the end of the '80s, including what its cast looks like now. Unsurprisingly, the show's leading ladies have changed over the years, even if we'll always remember them for their iconic beachside looks. That's because the enduring place of "Baywatch" in pop culture has remained consistent since it first aired. From relentless David Hasselhoff memes to baby names inspired by the classic TV show to those iconic red swimsuits, "Baywatch" has provided some classic references long after the beach-based drama wrapped.
So, it's no wonder that there have been a number of attempts at bringing back and spinning off the show. The latest is slated to hit Fox in 2027, with names like "Yellowstone" alum Hassie Harrison, gymnast and social media sensation Livvy Dunne, and reality star Brooks Nader filling the blond bombshell roles. There are some familiar faces as well, including Erika Eleniak and Kelly Packard, who were both part of the original series. Which brings us to our next question: What do Eleniak, Packard, and their fellow red-swimsuit sirens look like now?
Pamela Anderson was the iconic Baywatch babe
When Pamela Anderson joined the "Baywatch" cast in 1992 as C.J. Parker, it shot her to instant fame and a role that would be career-defining forever. We've seen a stunning style (and beauty) transformation of Pamela Anderson since, as she's embraced a much lower-key look in recent years to separate herself from that bombshell lifeguard. In 2026, the year she turned 59, Anderson attended the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in Los Angeles, looking gorgeous with her signature blond hair worn down in a face-framing style.
Decades later, Carmen Electra still holds a torch for Baywatch
Before Carmen Electra took on the role of lifeguard Lani McKenzie in 1997, she worked as a dancer for Prince. Following "Baywatch," she continued acting and danced with the Pussycat Dolls. Through the years, she's pushed boundaries with her style, including in July 2026, when she appeared at an event in Berlin, Germany, looking "Baywatch"-reminiscent in red and holding a life preserver. That same month, the 54-year-old showed she is still leaning into her sex appeal by appearing in Playboy magazine.
Alexandra Paul still maintains her toned physique in her 60s
Although she's acted in over 100 projects, the role that Alexandra Paul is still known for most is Stephanie Holden, the athletic "Baywatch" team leader, which she played from 1992 to 1997. Fast forward 30 years, and Paul, who turned 63 in 2026, is an animal rights activist, environmentalist, and podcast host. In a pic she posted to Instagram in June 2026, we can see that she has grown out her signature "Baywatch" pixie cut into flowing strands but has kept her lithe 5-foot, 10-inch figure.
Traci Bingham made Baywatch history when she joined the cast
In 1996, another stunning "Baywatch" star landed on our screens: Jordan Tate, played by Traci Bingham. After her two-year stint in the red swimsuit, Bingham appeared on a number of reality-TV shows and had bit acting parts. Like co-stars Pamela Anderson and Alexandra Paul, she is an animal rights activist, which she promotes on her Instagram page, among a bevy of sexy pics. For example, the TV personality, who turned 58 in 2026, arrived at a 2024 "Baywatch" docuseries event in Los Angeles flaunting her curves and over-the-top beauty, from ultra-long hair to striking eye makeup.
Nicole Eggert has aged oh-so beautifully
Nicole Eggert played lifeguard Summer Quinn in three seasons of "Baywatch," though she was only in one episode of one of them. The "Charles in Charge" actor has been vocal about the pressures to stay thin but voluptuous while she was on the show. She has also been open about her cancer journey over the years, which involved shaving her head in 2024. In 2026, at age 54, she attended a movie screening in Hollywood, showing off her chic pixie hairstyle, which she has kept cropped since her hair grew back. Many would argue that she looks even more confident than she did in her "Baywatch" days.
Gena Lee Nolin left Hollywood behind
After playing Neely Capshaw on "Baywatch" from 1995 to 2003, Gena Lee Nolin mostly stepped away from Hollywood to embrace life as a mom to her three children and wife to pro hockey player Cale Hulse. In 2013, she co-authored "Beautiful Inside and Out," chronicling her experience with thyroid disease. Nowadays, if her Instagram is anything to go by, the former actor looks happy; in June 2026, at age 54, she posed with one of her children, looking gorgeous with her signature long blond hair looking tamer than it did in her beachy "Baywatch" days.
Erika Eleniak is back for more Baywatch
In early 2026, then 56-year-old Erika Eleniak attended an event in Los Angeles with former "Baywatch" co-star Nicole Eggert. The actor was immediately recognizable thanks to her signature facial features, including her bold eyebrows, which she's been rocking since she played Shauni McClain on "Baywatch." Eleniak, whose hair has also remained stunning over the years, is back for the 2027 reboot of the show as McClain, who is reportedly a Santa Monica councilwoman. We suspect that she won't be a city councilor in a red swimsuit, however.
Donna D'Errico looks different now from her Baywatch days
While many folks in show business are hesitant about A.I., former "Baywatch" babe Donna D'Errico is all in on it. The star, who traded in her signature blond hairdo for highlighted brown strands, as seen in January 2026 at an event in Park City, Utah, is capitalizing on the technology. D'Errico continues to act and have an OnlyFans page, but she now also has a digital platform called Call Donna D, where fans can have a flirty chat with an A.I. version of the brunette beauty, who turned 58 in 2026.
Brooke Burns still looks the same 30 years after Baywatch
If you've tracked Brooke Burns' career through Hollywood, you may remember her high-profile relationship with Bruce Willis in 2003 and 2004, when she transitioned to brunette for about a year. But looking at a pic of Burns at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Accountant 2" in 2025, she looks very similar to herself at the time of playing Jessie Owens on "Baywatch" in the late '90s. The mother-of-two still has long, cascading blond hair and the megawatt smile that she was known for back in the day.
Kelly Packard looks as great now as she did back in the Baywatch heyday
Kelly Packard is another "Baywatch" alum coming back for the 2027 reboot, reprising the role of April Giminiski. Though she's dabbled in acting through the years, she has focused primarily on her four children with her husband, E.R. doctor Darrin Privett. Life with her busy family fills Packard's Instagram feed, though we did spot one pic from the summer of 2026 of her with former co-star Alexandra Paul. And dare we say it, Packard looks better at 51 than she did as a young adult on "Baywatch."
