NextImg:‘Baywatch’ star Yasmine Bleeth, 55, is unrecognizable 25 years after slipping into famous red swimsuit

Yasmine Bleeth made a splash when she was seen out and about in a very rare sighting in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The “Baywatch” alum, 55, donned a casual denim jumpsuit, a white tote and pink tee for the afternoon.

The actress was spotted hanging out with a friend as they went into Whole Foods.

Bleeth was seemingly making an Amazon return at the time since she went into the organic market with a BurgeonNest dog car seat and didn’t leave with it.

In the minutes after Bleeth emerged from Whole Foods, she lingered outside the area to make a phone call. She then strolled over to the Original Farmer’s Market with her pal and grabbed an iced coffee.

At the vendor, the pair spoke for an hour before the former model returned to her car.

The actress is best known for playing lifeguard Caroline Holden in “Baywatch” from 1993 to 1997. She appeared in more than 70 episodes — all while sporting the iconic red bathing suit — and starred alongside Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Carmen Elektra and Nicole Eggert.

The New York native, who filmed a Johnson & Johnson No More Tears shampoo commercial at just 10 months old, also previously worked on “Ryan’s Hope” and “Nash Bridges” opposite Don Johnson from 1996 to 2001.

Bleeth ultimately stepped away from Hollywood in 2003, and was last spotted in 2020 where eyewitnesses saw her walking her dog in Southern California. But despite living a quieter life now, she previously has been vocal about her past drug abuse.

In 2000, she entered Promises rehab clinic in Malibu for her cocaine addiction, which is where she met her now-husband Paul Cerrito. The following year, she was arrested in Detroit on cocaine-related charges after authorities found syringes with injectable cocaine in her car. She pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while impaired and to possession, and was sentenced to two years of probation.

In 2003, she penned a candid essay for “Glamour” where she opened up about her health issues and fame.

“I never expected to get into drugs,” she wrote at the time. “I was tired of feeling hurt. I was losing faith in love. I just wanted to feel good again. And I knew an easy way to get that feeling.”

“Once I started doing drugs alone, I stopped seeing friends, then stopped answering the phone altogether. I just listened to my messages once a day to make sure there were no emergencies. Eventually I stopped doing even that,” she continued. “The way I saw it, cocaine was easing me through the problems I was still having.. On cocaine, I didn’t think about the problems. I had no pain.”
