From the allure of Baywatch to a trailblazing advocate for animal rights, Pamela Anderson has mesmerized the world with her iconic style and unwavering dedication to the cause. Beyond her renowned beauty, there's a depth to Anderson that goes beyond the surface. Esteemed animal-loving designers like Stella McCartney and the late Vivienne Westwood hold her in high regard. Her passionate activism has earned her a coveted seat in the front rows of prestigious fashion shows, and she has even graced the catwalk herself, not content to be just a spectator.

By now, you must have witnessed Lily James's uncanny on-screen transformation into Pamela Anderson in the captivating Hulu series, Pam & Tommy. The show delves into the turbulent relationship of Anderson and Tommy Lee during the 1990s, when their intimate honeymoon tape was stolen and leaked to the public. Lily James truly embodies Anderson's bombshell look with a bleach-blonde wig, dramatic eyeliner, and the actor's signature slender eyebrows. Not to mention the skin-tight clothes and sky-high heels, which pay a delightful homage to Anderson’s Hollywood glamour over the past four decades.

Anderson's journey to stardom commenced in 1989, when she was "discovered" at the age of 22, stealing hearts as she appeared on a Jumbotron at a football game in B.C., Canada, to thunderous applause. Soon after, she was signed as a model, becoming a Lebatt Beer "Blue Zone" girl. Her television debut as Lisa, the Tool Time Girl, in Home Improvement followed in 1991. Subsequently, Anderson graced the small screen in various TV shows, including the ever-famous Baywatch, V.I.P., and Stacked. However, it was her red-carpet appearances that solidified her status as a genuine star: She wowed in alluring mini dresses and figure-hugging corsets, cementing her place as a style icon throughout the ’90s and 2000s.

As she embarks on a new chapter in her career, turning 50, Anderson remains steadfast to her roots while embracing thought-provoking dramatic roles and even venturing into the realm of documentary filmmaking. Join me in celebrating Pamela Anderson's most unforgettable fashion moments.
