Sabrina Carpenter Wore the Swimsuit Color That's So Trendy Right Now

Of all the swimsuits worn in film and television, there's arguably none more iconic than Pamela Anderson's Baywatch one-piece. As iconic as ever in 2024, her bright red swimsuit has cemented its place in Hollywood history. Now, another blonde star is taking over the reins: Sabrina Carpenter. In new Instagram images taken in Italy, she's wearing a version strikingly similar to the OG Baywatch suit, complete with high-cut legs.
Red swimsuits are simultaneously trendy and timeless. They will certainly never go out of style, but they're enjoying a particularly bright moment in the sun right now. Luckily for you, I've found styles at a wide variety of brands, including luxury French label Eres and wallet-friendly brand Quince. Scroll down to see how Sabrina Carpenter wears the trend and shop it for yourself.

After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
