Pamela Anderson Reacts to Stars Copying Her 90s Outfits
Celebrities have long been accused of copying the styles of their predecessors, but for Pamela Anderson, the trend is a welcome form of flattery. The 57-year-old actress and model has been a fashion icon for decades, known for her voluminous updos and high-fashion outfits. Recently, stars such as Millie Bobby Brown and Beyoncé have paid homage to Anderson’s iconic style, with the "Baywatch" babe herself weighing in on the trend.
According to a report by PageSix, Anderson has always been ahead of the curve with her fashion choices, and now it seems that other stars are finally catching up. The outlet reports that Anderson is "flattered" by the tributes, telling InStyle, "It gives me a little bit of confidence." The "Barb Wire" actress continued, "When I was wearing these clothes, they weren’t fashionable. And they weren’t making headlines, unless they were being made fun of."
Anderson’s style has been emulated by many, including Beyoncé, who showed off various Anderson-inspired looks last year. More recently, Millie Bobby Brown brought Anderson’s signature hairstyle to the red carpet premiere of her new Netflix film, "The Electric State." PageSix reports that Anderson is appreciative of the tributes, particularly as she does not work with a stylist. "I’m just at my happiest when I’m self-styled," Anderson said. "I know there’s a time and a place for a stylist," she added, acknowledging their expertise.
As noted by PageSix, Anderson explained that she knows what works best on her, and it’s not always what’s in fashion. "I mean, I’ve always been kind of a busty girl, too, and I look at, like, Sophia Loren… You had to have everything so snug to your rib cage to be really curvy, or you just go all covered up," she said, adding that for her 2024 "The Last Showgirl" press tour, "I thought, ‘I just want to be all covered up.’"
The outlet reports that Anderson’s approach to fashion is centred around confidence and self-expression. "Whether she’s covered up in glamorous gowns or going full-on ‘Baywatch’ bombshell, Anderson concurs that if you look good, you feel good," PageSix writes. "It’s been a journey," she admitted, "but if you’re wearing great clothes, that’s a good first [step] that builds your confidence."
As noted by PageSix, Anderson has also encouraged other A-listers to go makeup-free with her fresh-faced philosophy, continuing to set trends in the world of fashion and beauty. With her effortless style and enduring influence, it’s clear that Pamela Anderson remains a beloved and respected figure in the entertainment industry.
The enduring influence of Pamela Anderson’s style is a testament to her status as a fashion icon. As PageSix reports, Anderson’s approach to fashion is centred around self-expression and confidence, inspiring countless fans and fellow celebrities alike. With her signature style continuing to influence the world of fashion, it’s clear that Pamela Anderson’s legacy as a style icon will endure for years to come.
