True Blood‘s Kristin Bauer van Straten plays the uber hot vamp Pam on the HBO show.
With tight corsets and dark red lips, Pam usually struts her stuff in risqu├â┬⌐ clothing. Until, about a couple weeks ago, when Truebies were introduced to Pam’s sexy yellow Walmart sweatsuit (above).
At last week’s Comic-Con, Kristin discussed the out-of-character fashion statement during the True Blood panel.
Discussing the costume piece, Kristin said:
“It starts with the writing, with that brilliant line ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ the Walmart line ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ and then when we go to a wardrobe fitting, [costume designer] Audrey Fisher is a genius.
Usually things are tailored to make me look better, but this was tailored to be a little short and elastic around the legs and then the yellow was dyed slightly off.
[There was a] rack of Walmart sweatsuits, and we started with the yellow one and were like, ‘I don├óΓé¼Γäót think we need to try on anything else, so it├óΓé¼Γäós just Audrey! She’s responsible for the whole Pam look.”
In fact, she’s starting a new fad. Not only were there at least three fans spotted wearing replicas of the sweatsuit, but even one in the front row, which Kristin yelled out:
“I see a Walmart sweatsuit in the front row actually. It├óΓé¼Γäós actually a trend!”
While we love seeing Pam show off all her assets in sexy jumpsuits and tight-fitting leather, we have to say, the Walmart look is really growing on us!
