Baywatch Star Erika Eleniak Stuns Fans with Dramatic Transformation

As of November 16th, 2025, Baywatch star Erika Eleniak, now 56 years old, has significantly changed her appearance since her days as a blonde bombshell on the hit TV series. Eleniak, who played the character of Shauni McLain on Baywatch for three seasons, has embraced a new look over the years, covering her body with a variety of meaningful tattoos.

Earlier this year, Eleniak's colorful ink was on full display as she was spotted walking her dog in Los Angeles. Wearing shorts and a short-sleeved black T-shirt, the former Baywatch star's tattoos were clearly visible, and she looked great. Eleniak has revealed that her first tattoo was on her back, and she has since added many more that hold special significance for her.

In a recent interview on the Still Here Hollywood podcast, Eleniak opened up about her tattoo journey, showing off the sleeve dedicated to her late mother, Iris. "I love tattoos. I love that my body is a canvas to tell my stories. It's fun," the actress expressed.

Fans have had a mixed reaction to Eleniak's new look, with some praising her as a "work of art" and others expressing that they are not as keen on the extensive ink. Nonetheless, the Baywatch icon continues to embrace her transformed appearance, focusing on her acting career and using her body as a canvas to tell her personal stories.
