With the highly anticipated arrival of the Hulu series Pam & Tommy starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan premiering this week, ’90s icon Pamela Anderson’s signature bombshell style is finally getting its due. As the series charts the leak of a stolen sex tape created by Anderson and her former husband Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, Anderson is portrayed at the height of her illustrious career. With a beach babe effortlessness fused with her over-the-top rock wife glam, the Baywatch star’s sexy-meets-quirky wardrobe is seeing a resurgence among the fashion-forward Gen Z set.
Dubbed by Page Six as “Pamcore,” the revitalization of Anderson’s go-to trends, like leather, metallic mesh, latex, extreme cutouts and of course, wide-brim fuzzy hats, is back and has been recreated by a number of celebrities, including Rihanna, Kacey Musgraves and the Kardashian-Jenner family.
Below, we rounded up ways celebrities are giving an updated take on Anderson’s ’90s and early ’00s hits.
Lace-Up Bodices
Anderson’s sex-positive and often provocative takes provide a sexy spin on the eye-popping dopamine dressing people are seeking today. Kylie Jenner was spotted in a similar lace-up jumpsuit in May 2021, a style Anderson first wore in 1994.
High-Shine Metallics
Anderson had a love of all-things high-shine, wearing a skin tight silver number in 1996, years before Kim Kardashian gave the look her own spin.
Leather Corsets
Hats, Hats and More Hats
The actress had a penchant for statement millinery and consistently rocked designs from Vivienne Westwood and Versace. Recently, stars including Musgraves, Rihanna and Emily Ratajkowski have all adopted the look for their own red carpet and street style moments.
As fans tune in to the new Hulu series, we’re curious to see what other ’90s looks of Anderson’s come back into the spotlight. Lightwash ’90s denim? Red one-piece swimsuits? We’ll just have to wait to find out.
