Pamela Anderson Sparks Mixed Reactions with Yet Another Haircut – See Her 2025 Style Changes So Far

Love it or hate it, there's no denying that Pamela Anderson is fully in her transformation era — and she isn't asking anyone for permission.

Pamela Anderson has never shied away from switching up her look, and her latest haircut is no exception. The hair update has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans praising the change — even comparing her to another star — while others remain unconvinced.

Pamela Anderson's Boldest Look of 2025

The movie star has long been known for three signature beauty trademarks, which are her thin eyebrows, her sparkling smile, and her bright blonde hair. But this year, Anderson took a different approach.

Although she began 2025 with her familiar light-blonde look, she gradually branched out, trying new styles as the months passed. By October, she stunned fans with what many considered her boldest transformation yet.

The Canadian-American actress debuted a short, shaggy red haircut that immediately set social media buzzing. Despite wearing the red shade since early autumn, Anderson admitted the change still surprises her.

"Sometimes I catch myself in the mirror and go, 'Oh jeez. Who's that?'" she divulged. Even her mother needed time to adjust, telling her, "This is going to take some getting used to." And while part of Anderson's audience has embraced the new look, others feel the dramatic shift wasn't necessary.

Fans Are Divided over the Bold New Look

One viewer couldn't hide their excitement, gushing, "The curls! Okay. Pam!😍" Another person jumped in with an enthusiastic approval, penning, "Love the hair!" Someone else took a nostalgic turn, pointing out, "She reminds me of Mia Farrow..."

A different user echoed the comparison, "Mia Ferrow [sic]." Another fan expanded on the look, "Yes, very like Mia, I love her other look when her hair was longer and a bit of makeup on."

Someone who saw something deeper in her choices reflected, "I love that Pamela is telling everyone that beauty is not just what you see on the outside."

Not everyone was impressed, though. One critical voice weighed in bluntly, "These haircut and color are mistakes [sic]." A final commenter voiced their disappointment, "One bad hairdo after another."

Pamela Anderson on the Freedom to Experiment

Anderson, who dyed her hair for her role in the upcoming "Love Is Not the Answer," isn't planning to stay with the red shade permanently. She hinted that she may soon return to blonde — or switch to an entirely different color — keeping her options open for whatever comes next.

The "Barb Wire" star described her latest transformation as "another form of freedom," marking yet another unexpected change in a year packed with fresh hair moments. "I'm making the choices in my career and the way I look. I'm in control of my own life," she noted.

Pamela Anderson's Early 2025 Style Shifts

Anderson showed just how much she is in control of her life by going all out in her hairstyles this year. She began the year in standout fashion at the Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer show during Paris Fashion Week. She wore her hair blonde, straight, and flowing freely over her shoulders.

She followed that appearance with a nod to classic Hollywood for the Screen Actors Guild Awards in February, styling her blonde hair in soft curls with a side part and a fringe.

For the BAFTA Film Awards on February 16, Anderson arrived with a full bang that framed her face in a way that recalled her "Baywatch" character, Casey Jean Parker.

By May, the 58-year-old had taken her hair shorter, opting for an updo that gave her the charm of a leading lady from an eighties rom-com.

In July, she attended "The Naked Gun" Sirius XM Town Hall, wearing her hair in a coiffed fifties style. The look left her face completely visible, and with minimal makeup, she still delivered a striking presence.

She seemed to embrace the retro theme, as Anderson later appeared at "The Naked Gun" New York premiere with a similar bob, styled in nearly the same way. A noticeable glow and bright smile showed how much she enjoyed the look.

Bolder Experiments as the Year Continued

Anderson leaned further into experimentation in September at the Deauville American Film Festival in France. She wore loose waves, another example of her willingness to play with different textures.

As the recipient of the Deauville Talent Award, Anderson elevated the glamour further by wearing flipped-out ends, side-swept bangs, and statement earrings.

She caused another stir when she arrived at the Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week with the dramatic red hair. The style had a wedge-like shape, brushed back to highlight the new shade.

The following day at the Mugler show, she showcased the red shade again, this time in voluminous curls. Paired with her shimmering black dress, the look reinforced why Anderson continues to reign as a driving force behind hair transformations.

At the Valentino show in early October, she took the red color in a shaggier direction. Her expression and pose gave her the air of a fierce female action hero straight out of an eighties film.

The shade also fit perfectly with the season. Later in October, at her Sonsie Garden event with Shopify on October 24, her hair aligned beautifully with the surrounding fall colors.

Pamela Anderson's Philosophy on Hair and Self-Expression

Anderson has previously reflected on how her approach to hair has evolved with age. She explained that she sees it as another outlet for self-expression and has never hesitated to experiment.

The actress considers herself fortunate to have naturally thick, healthy hair and enjoys cutting and styling it in new ways because the process feels liberating. She embraces change, believing it brings a sense of youthfulness and excitement.

Anderson emphasized that healthy growth depends on proper care. She revealed that she relies on Biolage scalp treatments and the brand's Full Rescue products for her hair care.

From bombshell blonde to fiery red and every shade in between, Pamela Anderson's 2025 has been nothing short of a hair revolution, complete with occasional tips shared for her fans.
