Beach babe Kelly Rohrbach stuns in THAT iconic red swimsuit as she takes on Pamela Anderson's lifeguard role in new Baywatch film trailer

She had the daunting task of stepping into the shoes of CJ Parker - the iconic lifeguard played by Pamela Anderson on Baywatch during the 1990s.

And Kelly Rohrbach certainly appears to have put her own stamp on the character in the new Baywatch movie.

The Sports Illustrated model shows off her stunning figure in the trailer for the film reboot of the David Hasselhoff TV series.

Kelly sports a similar swimsuit to Pamela's although her costume features a front gold zip.

Kelly has previously discussed fittings for the famous swimsuit, describing it as a 'process.'

'The first time. we have retailored it and restructured it 10 different times,' she told E! earlier this year. 'They wanted to revamp it and make it modern. 

'They added zippers. At first there was a collar and we took that off so we sort of played around with it. It took us about a month to get it right.'

'This has nothing to do with saving people. These are refrigerators!' exclaims a shirtless and sweaty Efron.

'This is Baywatch, you p****' The Rock barks back, setting the tone for the rest of the bawdy action comedy.

The Rock, who takes the role of Hasselhoff's Mitch Buchanan explains: 'There's more than to this job than just swimming,' before music begins to bump and the busy beach-savers strut into a Miami club.

Pryanka Chopra appears as Victoria Leeds, the sultry club owner who seems to be the root of all of Baywatch's problems.
