No one has had a style evolution quite like Pamela Anderson. The actor, who rose to fame in the ’90s, has always been known as the ultimate blonde bombshell thanks to her iconic role (and red swimsuit) in the hit series Baywatch. But as time has progressed, Anderson has showed fans who she is beyond the pin-up TV persona.
This 2025 has been an especially pivotal year in terms of career and fashion for the actor. From sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week and celebrating award season nominations for her role in The Last Showgirl to finding success (and love) with Liam Neeson and The Naked Gun, the star has started a vivacious new chapter.
“I think people associate me with big blond hair, but if I look at my whole life, I’ve always been one to change up the way that I look,” the new face of haircare brand Biolage told Harper’s Bazaar in a recent interview.
Its her willingness to evolve what has led the Sonsie skincare founder into her fashion cool-girl era. Now, a muse for brands like Jacquemus and often clad in couture styles from designers like Dior, Versace, the Row, and Bottega Veneta, it’s not shocking to find the actor on a best dressed list on any given day.
