The red Lycra one-piece donned by bombshell lifeguard C.J. Parker on Baywatch might not have made Pamela Anderson a sex symbol (the actress and model can thank Playboy for that), but the legendary swimsuit certainly solidified her status. Baywatch never wowed the critics (The Hollywood Reporter described its 1989 debut episode as “a pleasant, if unstimulating, way to begin a weekend”), but fans found the show a little more, um, stimulating, especially once Anderson joined the series in 1992. Though C.J. saved lives, fell in love and got mixed up in plenty of other dramas during the character’s stint on the show, it’s the custom-made suit designed to flatter Anderson’s figure that viewers most remember. Well, that, and all the slow-motion running.
