Pamela Anderson looked fresher than ever in new portrait pictures that appeared on her Instagram feed on Saturday afternoon.

The 58-year-old former Baywatch star took part in a stylish photoshoot with US fashion brand Aerie. In a carousel of pictures, the former wife of rocker Tommy Lee can be seen showing off her megawatt smile, makeup-free face, and her huge blonde mane, which she's recently had cut into a sleek, French bob.

Her new 'do looked incredibly thick and healthy, and it framed her face perfectly.

The mother-of-two, who raises sons Brandon and Dylan, appeared to have had her tresses roughly blow-dried, and the ends of her hair snipped into a blunt cut. This style is renowned for accentuating the texture of the hair, making it look luscious and healthy. Pamela's hair had serious height and moved elegantly as she posed up a storm in the new photos.

Pamela's hair journey

The Last Showgirl star is famous for her long blonde, mermaid-esque hair, particularly throughout the '90s when she gained notoriety with her role of C.J Parker in Baywatch.

In 2025, the actress headed to an event in New York City and took to the red carpet dressed down in a long-sleeved top, matching wide-legged trousers, and a chin-grazing blunt bob, topped with a matching bucket hat.

Although at the time, the hat hid most of Pamela's hair, the shorter length was evident and beautifully framed her face. A few months later, Pamela shocked the world again when she dyed her hair a vibrant shade of red. Donning a sleek satin dress in ivory, she showcased her fiery locks as she attended Paris Fashion Week.

Pamela's makeup mission

In 2023, Pamela famously stripped back her previously defined makeup look and has remained loyal to her word ever since. Asked about her radical image change, the star quipped that she was "challenging" the beauty industry with her makeup-free stance.

Pamela has spoken about challenging beauty norms

"I am much more comfortable in my own skin, but I am also in an industry that really focuses on beauty. And I thought, 'I'm going to challenge beauty,'" she explained on Today. "I think challenging ourselves is what keeps us young and beautiful. And I think, really genuinely, beauty does come from within, and you don't have to play the game."
