Pamela Anderson has revealed why she underwent a dramatic hair transformation for her Met Gala 2025 appearance. In an interview with Who What Wear published Thursday, the 57-year-old explained that her bob cut with micro bangs was “not about looking good.”
Pamela Anderson reveals why she chopped off her long blonde hair for Met Gala appearance
“For the Met, I wanted something strong, brave, and committed—aligned with the night’s theme of tailoring from head to toe,” Anderson said. This year's theme for fashion's biggest night was Superfine: Tailoring Black Style, which saw the Baywatch star walking the blue carpet with a short blonde bob cut that made headlines.
For the event, Anderson donned a bedazzled silver dress by Tory Burch. She accessorised with matching Pandora diamond jewellery, per Page Six. “I believe the world needs more of a feminine warrior presence, and this was my small contribution,” she said of her headline-making Met Gala look, adding that “looking good” was not her aim.
“That’s subjective anyway,” she went on, adding, “[Tory Burch’s] dress was the star. I was just blessed to wear it.” Anderson explained that she chopped off her long blonde hair to a shoulder-length “a few projects ago.” But, her blunt cut with an emphasis on micro bangs was “a quiet nod to [her] favourite Bergman actresses.”
Anderson, who has stopped wearing makeup to most public events, wore a soft glam look at the Met Gala by Pat McGrath. The famed makeup artist said in a press release at the time, “Pam wanted to wear makeup again for the Met Gala, so we created a look that acknowledged her natural beauty but then took it to the next level.”
