Pamela Anderson shares her secret for achieving great hair at any age
Anderson is embracing change with open arms as she returns to acting, builds new relationships, and even stars in hair-care brand Biolage's new campaign, which focuses on rediscovering oneself (something she is very familiar with). 'I love where Biolage is going, and I love being a part of the brand's new direction,' she says. 'It feels authentic to me—a celebration of softness and strength.'
Ahead, Anderson tells Bazaar how she is reinventing herself, her haircare secrets, and why she finds a haircut to be freeing.
If you don't mind sharing, how old are you?
I'm 57.
What age do you feel in your head?
Fifty seven, because I've earned it. It's important to embrace all of it.
What's the biggest thing that you've rediscovered about yourself as you've gotten older?
We become more ourselves. We realise that we don't have to be other people. That's the challenge. We're inundated with so many other people's thoughts that it's fun to take the time to discover how you feel, and that's what these last few years have been for me: rediscovering who I am. Time flies, but I feel like I'm in a part of my career that is just beginning. Sometimes when you feel like it's the end, it's truly the beginning. And I've just been surprised day after day with what's happening in my life. I came back home to be in my garden, and I stripped back everything to find out who I am underneath all of this.
Are there any aspects of your appearance that you love more now as you've gotten older?
I think we're all our own harshest critics, but I think it's best to have a very simple skincare and hair-care routine, making sure that it's cruelty-free, vegan, and as eco-friendly as possible. I think that intention is really important when making these choices. It's funny, because it may seem that I was superficial in my younger years, but I've always been a big reader, a lover of film, and a poet. When you're in the public eye, these caricatures of your life are created. But I've been the same homemaker and mother even if I was covered in glitter. Now, I just want to make it okay to walk a red carpet, go to the grocery store, or be on the cover of a magazine without makeup. I have so many people come up to me all the time and say, 'Thank you so much for doing this.' I was doing it for myself initially, but it's nice that the message has resonated with so many people, and I've been able to apply it in my work by starting my skincare line and working with brands like Biolage.
What excites you about working with Biolage now?
It's been really fun and truly not stressful. I think that's the secret to these things. And it's fun to be around a lot of people who also want to build things that are better for the planet. It's nice that having compassion is in fashion, and the beauty industry has changed a lot over the 30 years I've been in it. I feel like timing is wonderful, and I'm very excited that I get to do a beauty campaign and to be working as much as I am. I didn't expect it, but I'm enjoying it.
Sometimes, as you get older, you look back at your life and think about what you could have done differently. But I feel like I've had enough life experiences, while still feeling young enough, to put those learnings into practice.
How has your hair philosophy changed since you've gotten older?
Your hair is another way to express yourself, and I've never been shy. I guess I'm genetically blessed, but I've always had very thick, healthy hair. I do like to cut it and to style it differently. It's freeing. I am a big lover of change; that's what keeps us young and excited. But hair only grows if we take care of it, and that's why I love the Biolage scalp treatments and the Full Rescue products. Biolage Full Rescue Shampoo

Lisa Eldrige on the new beauty rules: 'Only conceal when absolutely necessary'
I was six when I 'discovered' make-up. My mum and I were at my grandparents' house, when I came across her teenage cosmetics case: Mary Quant crayons, Coty lipsticks, Elizabeth Arden eyeshadows .. It sparked my obsession with colour, make-up and its history. Audrey Hepburn is my ultimate make-up muse and beauty icon. Her signature, doe-eyed, gamine style has proved perennially popular and she was a beautiful person, inside and out. Who has inspired my career most? Make-up artist Mary Greenwell. Way before I was a make-up artist, I would use my pocket money to buy Vogue. The photoshoots would say 'make-up by Mary Greenwell'. I remember thinking — I want to be Mary Greenwell! One of the most memorable moments in my career was shooting for Prada in East Berlin with Ridley Scott and his daughter Jordan. We were there for a week. East Berlin was still quite avant-garde — we had all of the Prada archives there and shot in the most amazing locations. One of my lipsticks, Meet Me In Berlin, I named as an homage to this memory. For me, make-up has always been more than glittering surfaces... It's a signifier of creativity and humanity. You have to know the past to understand the present, and once you realise that the make-up you carry in your handbag has traversed through hundreds of years to end up in your hand, your understanding of beauty will be revolutionised forever. After working for so many other brands for years, I was excited to do things my way. I pour my heart into my Lisa Eldridge Beauty products and I think it shows. I'm always striving to create unique shades which have been described as 'un-dupable'. My make-up philosophy is about enhancing what you have, only concealing where absolutely necessary. I'll apply a thin layer of my Lisa Eldridge Skin Enhancing tint (£37, and use my Pinpoint Concealer Micro Correcting pencil (£27, to cover some redness here, lift a shadow there. I team this pared-back skin with a 'my-lips-but-better' lip — my Baume Embrace in Épanoui (£26, My Kitten Lash Mascara in Burnt Umber (£29, is a favourite — and lifted, fanned-out lashes. makes me look instantly more awake. The insider beauty tip everyone should know? Facial massage! I learned the importance of it from my mum and, trust me, you only have to look at her to see the evidence of its beautifying benefits. Make-up is a creative outlet that can give such confidence. I've witnessed the most reserved people use a confidence-boosting slick of red lipstick to tackle what lies ahead. Working with Isabella Rossellini for Lancôme's 80th birthday party in Paris was a pinch-me moment. I have always been inspired by her beauty and all she stands for. Another was working with Dua Lipa for the 2019 Met Gala. I love witnessing the cyclical nature of trends, but it's important to recognise their transience. A heavy, hyper-perfected make-up look has dominated the past few years, and the recent resurgence of 1990s grunge and more minimal looks is a manifestation of our fatigue at trying to achieve this. Likewise, the first-time round, 1990s grunge make-up was a reaction to the excessive glamour and full-on make-up of the 1980s. Am I a smell person? Yes! When I was living in Los Angeles I went to the Violet Grey store when it first opened and was bowled over by the Diana Vreeland fragrances, especially Daringly Different (£195, with its iris, violet and leathery notes. Another scent that makes me happy is Oil of Ulay, as it used to be called. But it's a bittersweet memory — it takes me back to my granny's kitchen where she kept a bottle on the bureau. In my bathroom cabinet? The Ultra Violette Queen Screen SPF50 (£38, which gives a beautiful glow and smells amazing. Also Lancôme UV Expert Supra Screen SPF 50 Invisible UV Serum (£41, which I use in place of moisturiser at the moment. Its invisible finish makes it an ideal base for make-up. The reusable DIEUX Forever eye masks (£22, and my Skin Enhancing treatment cleanser (£43, – it's hardworking, multifunctioning... I can't be without it. If I could do the make-up for anyone in history it would be Elizabeth Taylor. When I was starting out, I was recommended to work with her for an Aids Foundation charity event. I was beside myself with excitement, but sadly, she was unwell and unable to make the journey. Tragically, this was towards the end of her life. I will always feel devastated I didn't get to meet her that day.

Foo Fighters Keep Climbing With New Surprise Single
About a month ago, Foo Fighters returned with a brand new single titled 'Today's Song.' So far, the track isn't connected to any album, and the band hasn't announced a new chapter. That lack of information may be helping the cut, as the mystery has fueled excitement among fans who are now hoping more new music is on the way. The latest from the Grammy-winning group debuted high on several charts when it arrived and has since been embraced across a variety of radio formats in the United States. New Peaks on Multiple Radio Charts 'Today's Song' appears on five Billboard charts this week, almost all of them focused on radio. That's where the track is on the rise, and this frame it reaches a new peak on three of the five tallies it inhabits. The Foo Fighters cut breaks into the top five on both the Alternative Airplay and Mainstream Rock Airplay charts, improving to Nos. 3 and 5, respectively. It also rises higher than ever on the Adult Alternative Airplay tally, leaping from No. 26 to No. 19 in its third frame. Gains on Hot Hard Rock Songs Chart While it doesn't earn a new best showing, the Foo Fighters' newest tune does gain on the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, the all-consumption ranking of the most popular hard rock-only tracks in America. In its five weeks on the list, 'Today's Song' has climbed as high as No. 5, and this week it moves up one space to No. 17. Holding the No. 1 Spot on Rock & Alternative Airplay 'Today's Song' continues to reign over the Rock & Alternative Airplay chart. The cut earned one of the fastest ascents to No. 1 in the history of that ranking, which measures the most successful tracks at rock radio in the U.S. The song may stay on the throne for some time, as Foo Fighters remain one of the most popular acts in both rock and alternative music.

Madonna Scores A Milestone New Win On The Dance Chart
Madonna's new album Veronica Electronica isn't a traditional studio full-length, but rather a stopgap project meant to tide fans over while they wait for another collection. The set is built around remixes from her Ray of Light era, one of her most successful and critically acclaimed periods. Veronica Electronica only debuts on one U.S. chart this week, but it's not just another entry for the pop and dance icon — it's a milestone win. Veronica Electronica Opens on the Dance Chart Madonna launches Veronica Electronica solely on the Top Dance Albums chart, which measures the most consumed projects in that style by combining sales and streaming activity. The project barely makes it to the 25-spot tally, opening in last place, at No. 25. Madonna Earns a Tenth Career Dance Albums Hit Veronica Electronica is Madonna's milestone tenth title to reach the dance albums chart. She first landed on the list almost exactly 20 years ago, when Confessions on a Dance Floor appeared in November 2005. That Grammy-winning effort went on to spend 13 weeks at No. 1, and it remains her longest-running champion. The set has spent 102 weeks somewhere on the roster, and it is her only triple-digit week charter. Half of Madonna's Dance Albums Have Reached No. 1 Throughout her career, Madonna has reached the top 10 on the dance albums chart six times, and half of those projects have hit No. 1. In addition to Confessions on a Dance Floor, both MDNA and Finally Enough Love — another recent remix set — have also ruled. Veronica Electronica Is Madonna's Second Debut of 2025 Veronica Electronica marks Madonna's second debut on the Top Dance Albums ranking in 2025 alone. Back in January, The Immaculate Collection, her 1990 greatest hits set, arrived on the tally. The following week, it soared to No. 8, reaching its all-time high, and since then, the collection has spent 30 weeks somewhere on the ranking. Madonna Charts Two Dance Albums in the Same Week This week, Madonna fills two spaces on the dance albums list. As Veronica Electronica starts at No. 25 and The Immaculate Collection lifts from No. 13 to No. 11, almost cracking the highest tier once more. 'Gone Gone Gone' From the Ray of Light Sessions The only new addition to Veronica Electronica is 'Gone Gone Gone,' an unreleased track from the Ray of Light sessions that has circulated among fans online for years in demo form. Originally recorded in 1997 with producer William Orbit, the song blends the spiritual, atmospheric production that defined that era with a darker, more urgent rhythm. That cut became a quick bestseller a short time ago on the dance lists, and it is powering the quick adoption of the remix set. Madonna Revisits Ray of Light Veronica Electronica revisits the Ray of Light era, and it draws from one of the most celebrated periods in Madonna's career. Released in 1998, Ray of Light produced a string of hits, including 'Frozen,' 'The Power of Good-Bye,' 'Nothing Really Matters,' and the title track, all of which reached charts around the world. The album topped tallies in more than a dozen countries, peaked at No. 2 in the U.S., and won multiple Grammy Awards.
