Pamela Anderson: hers is a name synonymous with sex appeal. If you believe that every decade has a blonde bombshell to match, then the nineties and much of the early noughties belonged to Pamela. And while we weren't exactly ones to tack up Baywatch posters on our wall, we cannot glance at a high cut swimsuit — or a lifeguard for that matter — without it conjuring up images of her character CJ.
She was the blueprint of 90s beach style, with her Brigitte Bardot hair and punchy figure. Denim was worn like a second skin and her red carpet dressing was always understated, with sleek bodycon dresses left to do the talking. Even now, she makes a great case to pull out the tweezers and embrace skinny eyebrows. And with Y2K style making a garish comeback, we're looking to her wardrobe of outlandish hats, baby tees, leather, mini skirts and bustiers just as much as the more laid back silhouettes of the 90s.
In anticipation of the Hulu series Pam & Tommy which is set to release on February 2nd, we're glancing back at Pamela Anderson's most iconic fashion moments. See them below.
