Pamela Anderson must believe imitation is a form of flattery!

The 51-year-old Baywatch star took to Instagram on Thursday to personally approve Kim Kardashian West’s Halloween costume. On Oct. 31, the 38-year-old reality star replicated the outfit Pamela wore to the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.

“So funny …. ⭐️ @kimkardashian as me for #halloween @mtv awards (what was I thinking?) ha,” the actress captioned a black-and-white post of the two looks.

The iconic outfit features a fuzzy pink hat, a white bustier and colorful, sparkly pants. Kim’s longtime friend, Jonathan Cheban, dressed up as Pamela’s ex, Tommy Lee, wearing a gray trench coat, striped hat and gold jewelry.

Kim’s Halloween wasn’t without controversy, though. On Thursday, the mother of three issued an apology for using the R-word at a party she attended in costume. Kim made the remark in a since-deleted video after people failed to recognize she was dressed up as the iconic actress, something she blamed on all the party guests being “too f**king young.”

“I want to apologize for what I said in a recent video post that is inappropriate and insensitive to the special needs community,” Kim said in a statement to ET. “I try to learn from my mistakes and this is one of those times. Please know that my intention is always pure, and in this case, it was a mistake. I’m sorry.”
