Baywatch alum Brandy Ledford proved that she hadn’t aged a day since her star-making role in the hit ’90s series, amid a recent outing in Los Angeles for the Race to Erase MS Gala.
The 57-year-old looked incredible in a fitted white dress that stopped mid-thigh, complete with long sleeves and an eye-catching bow at the hip. She paired the look with white open-toed heels, silver bracelets, stacked rings, and a sparkling silver purse. Brandy wore her blonde locks in a stylish blowout, and opted for a sultry cat’s eye look and a nude pink lip.
She took to Instagram to share snaps from the glamorous night out, and reminded fans of the noble cause that the Race to Erase MS Gala champions. “There is still no cure for MS, which is why this work matters so much. Grateful to stand alongside so many people committed to making a difference,” she wrote.
Fans rushed to the comment section to share the love, with one writing: “Question: do you ever look bad in a photo?? SHEESH,” while another added: “You look absolutely stunning, Brandy. Gorgeous!” A third chimed in: “Very beautiful look!” while another said: “This dress!!!”
