When you think of Pamela Anderson, you likely think “blonde bombshell.” But this week, the actress proved that she looks red-hot in any hair shade—emphasis on “red.”

The 58-year-old—who has been enjoying a much-deserved resurgence over the last couple of years thanks to her heart-wrenching performance in The Last Showgirl and her side-splitting role in The Naked Gun—recently stepped out in style, debuting a brand new hairdo. The shade was a striking red, and yes, we’re already thinking of calling our colorists to copy it.

Anderson’s hair transformation

According to InStyle, Anderson’s hair change was first spotted after the actress’s stylist, Bailey Moon, shared a snapshot of the look on their Instagram story. In the photo, the Baywatch icon attended Paris Fashion Week while wearing a gorgeous cream-colored gown by One Of, which included an elegant cape.

In the initial photo shared, Anderson looked back over her shoulder, revealing her new shag haircut, which was complete with wispy side bangs. Her signature bleached blonde tresses had been dyed a radiant ginger, which glowed under the moody lighting. The shade was truly unique, and the autumnal vibe was only heightened by the layered dimension of the cut.

Moon later shared another photo of Anderson’s new look, this time to their grid, giving fashion fans a better view of the front of the gown, which boasted a stylish high-neck cut and chic cap sleeves. The new snapshot also provided a better look at her hair, showcasing just how marvelous the shag style fit the screen legend.

Fan reactions

Naturally, fans of the style icon were quick to notice the refreshing change, taking to the comment section on Moon’s Instagram post, as well as the comment sections of other outlets that shared the look, to applaud the beautiful transformation:

“Loooove this look on her. And the new hair 👩🏻‍🦰🧡,” one fan wrote.

“This actually looks great 🔥,” a commenter exclaimed.

“She’s so gorgeous. I love how she is embracing her natural look ❤️,” another added on a snapshot Hello Magazine shared.

“This suits her so well!” One more user concurred.

A transformative year for Anderson

And this hair change comes at a true moment of transformation for the superstar.

As noted previously, Anderson has been stepping back into the spotlight for a celebrated comeback to Hollywood after a lengthy hiatus away to recenter herself—and just like her fans, she’s been loving her foray back onto our screens.

“I feel every film I do lately is healing various parts of me. And you need a big, messy life to draw from if you want to make these kinds of things interesting,” Anderson told Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year. “I’m really lucky that I’m on the radar of so many great directors. This is such an exciting time.”
