Pamela Anderson is turning heads with a bold new look just days before the 2025 Met Gala. The 57-year-old actress and activist was recently seen in New York City sporting a sleek, chin-length bob—a dramatic change from her signature long blonde waves.
Anderson revealed the new hairstyle at the Tory Burch Foundation’s Founders Breakfast, which honored Martha Stewart. While her new bob was partly hidden under a beige bucket hat, fans could still see the fresh cut. She paired the look with a minimalist outfit: a wide-neck, long-sleeve beige top and matching wide-leg pants.
Known for pushing boundaries throughout her career, Anderson has embraced a more natural appearance in recent years. Her makeup-free red carpet looks have earned praise for their authenticity and elegance. This new hairstyle marks another step in what many are calling a new chapter in her style evolution.
Speculation is already building that Anderson’s fresh look hints at her return to the Met Gala, which takes place May 5. At last year’s event, she wore a flowing Oscar de la Renta gown paired with a dramatic faux leather headpiece by designer Noel Stewart. Makeup artist Pat McGrath created her radiant look, describing it as “an elevation of natural beauty.”
Anderson has experimented with other style changes recently as well. In December, she debuted blunt bangs at a screening of her film The Last Showgirl, wearing a sculpted brown Bottega Veneta dress with cape-like shoulders and corset details.
Speaking with People at the 2024 Gotham Film Awards, Anderson explained her more pared-down style: “I love to wear makeup sometimes. It has a time and a place. But in my personal life, it just didn’t really make sense anymore.”
Anderson’s transformation continues to inspire fans who see her as a symbol of timeless reinvention and self-acceptance.
