Pamela Anderson's Complete Style Evolution in 25 Looks
No one has had a style evolution quite like Pamela Anderson. The actor, who rose to fame in the '90s, has always been known as the ultimate blonde bombshell thanks to her iconic role (and red swimsuit) in the hit series Baywatch. But as time has progressed, Anderson has showed fans who she is beyond the pin-up TV persona.
This 2025 has been an especially pivotal year in terms of career and fashion for the actor. From sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week and celebrating award season nominations for her role in The Last Showgirl to finding success (and love) with Liam Neeson and The Naked Gun, the star has started a vivacious new chapter.
'I think people associate me with big blond hair, but if I look at my whole life, I've always been one to change up the way that I look,' the new face of haircare brand Biolage told Harper's Bazaar in a recent interview.
Its her willingness to evolve what has led the Sonsie skincare founder into her fashion cool-girl era. Now, a muse for brands like Jacquemus and often clad in couture styles from designers like Dior, Versace, the Row, and Bottega Veneta, it's not shocking to find the actor on a best dressed list on any given day.

Whitney Houston Foundation Auctions 24-plus Items
Fashion was a priority for some of the Whitney Houston fans who bid Monday in a sale of the late six-time Grammy winner's memorabilia that was organized by Julien's Auctions. Held live at The Peninsula Beverly Hills and online, the 'Whitney E. Houston Legacy Foundation Auction' featured more than 24 apparel pieces and memorabilia. It benefited the musician's namesake foundation that helps provide college scholarships and services to young people who are interested in the arts. More from WWD Doechii Leans Into Preppy Edge With Miu Miu Penny Loafers at Outside Lands Charli XCX Doubles Down on Her Fetish Boot Era With Fidan Novruzova Knee-highs at Sziget Festival Beyoncé vs. Sydney Sweeney: Are Jeans Getting Political? Forty years after Houston first ventured into the music industry, a few devotees picked up items that Houston wore on stage to perform including ensembles by Marc Bouwer and stilettos from Dolce & Gabbana among other keepsakes. Saturday would have been the late Grammy Hall of Fame inductee's 65th birthday. She died in 2012 in Los Angeles. Interestingly, the top-selling item was a 1994 personalized FIFA World Cup Event worn jersey with a photo that sold for $22,400 — well above the pre-auction estimate of $1,000 to $2,000. An embellished catsuit designed by Bouwer that Houston wore for a Madison Square Garden performance during her 1991 'I'm Your Baby Tonight' tour fetched $22,400, outperforming the pre-sale estimate of $4,000 to $6,000. Another one of his designs, a velour suit that the musician performed at a 'Welcome Home Heroes' concert that same year sold for $16,000 — more than five times the pre-sale opening estimate. An embellished ensemble that Bouwer created for 'The Bodyguard' world tour went for $10,240, up from its opening estimate of $3,000 to $5,000. A replica gown of the one that Bouwer designed for Houston to wear for a South Africa concert in 1994 sold for $6,400. Bouwer told WWD Monday, 'In a time when stylists, collectors, investors and museum historians are universally looking for archival fashion, it's flattering to see these pieces do so well. It proves the impact and worth of designer and celebrity relationships. I think Whitney would be delighted that the high returns are going to her foundation for the benefit of youth and music in education.' A pair of pale yellow pumps with floral embellishment from Dolce & Gabbana had a final bid of $3,200. A belted yellow dress that Houston sported to wear on 'Dancing With the Stars' in 2009 raked in $12,800 compared to the opening estimate of $800 to $1,200. A Dolce & Gabbana ensemble that Houston donned for the Clive Davis' Grammy party in 2009 had a final offer of $11,520. Another high-ticket item was a Helen Yarmark fur coat at $12,800 that Houston chose for a 2010 outing. The sale was 'a powerful reminder that the spirit of Whitney continues to move music, inspire generations, and define celebrity,' according to Julien's executive director and cofounder Martin J. Nolan Having released seven career albums and sold more than 220 million music recordings, Houston also appeared in 'The Bodyguard' in 1992, 'Waiting to Exhale' in 1995, 'The Preacher's Wife' in 1996, 'Cinderella' in 1997 and 'Sparkle.' 'The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album' from 1992 remains the bestselling soundtrack album of all time, the bestselling album by a woman in music history, and the bestselling album of the 1990s. Houston received more than 400 awards and she was the executive producer of 'Cinderella' and 'Sparkle,' and produced 'The Princess Diaries,' 'The Princess Diaries 2,' 'The Cheetah Girls' and 'The Cheetah Girls 2.' In June, Houston's estate received 11 new certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America that were posthumously presented in her honor. Houston is the first African American artist to have three RIAA Diamond-certified albums — 10x Platinum — including her self-titled debut album, her second studio album, 'Whitney,' and 'The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album.' Concert goers took note — Houston's RIAA 'Multi-Platinum' sales award for 'The Bodyguard' was auctioned for $16,000 — eight times its pre-sale opening estimate.

‘70s Music Legend, 78, Made Key Lyrical Tweaks to Song That Won't Die
'70s Music Legend, 78, Made Key Lyrical Tweaks to Song That Won't Die originally appeared on Parade. One of the unexpected highlights of 's new adaptation of Supermanis 'Punkrocker,' the song that plays over the film's end credits. Much like the Man of Steel, the song won't die. It just keeps popping up in new versions and places. The version heard in Superman was first released in 2006 by the Swedish group the Teddybears featuring proto-punk legend on vocals. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 The song was originally recorded by the Teddybears, without Iggy, for their 2000 album Rock'n'Roll Highschool. That same year, it was remade by the Swedish indie rock band Caesars Palace (later renamed Caesars to avoid a possible legal showdown with the Las Vegas hotel). That band included of the Teddybears, and also gained notice for their 2002 song 'Jerk It Out' after it was featured in a snowboarding video and video games, as well as their version of Blue Oyster Cult's 'Don't Fear the Reaper,' featured on the Six Feet Under: Everything Ends soundtrack. 'Punkrocker' has since been covered several times, but the best-known version is the Teddybears 2006 update that has Iggy Pop on vocals. Iggy didn't just sing the song; he made key tweaks to the lyrics that change the song's whole attitude. The Teddybears original opens with the lines: 'You see me driving down the street / I'm just not looking good.' Iggy, however, turned that second line completely around by singing, 'I'm bored with looking good,' adding a swagger and aloofness missing from the original woe-is-me take. Iggy's lyric is also a throwback of sorts to one of his own songs, 1979's 'I'm Bored.' In that song, from Iggy's album New Values, he opens by singing, 'I'm bored / I'm chairman of the bored.' Iggy later adds further lyrical changes to 'Punkrocker' with the lyrics, 'See me die on Bleecker Street / I'm bored with being God.' Bleecker Street is widely associated with the '70s New York punk because the legendary punk nightclub GBGB was on Bowery and Bleecker. Following its original release, the Teddybears version of 'Punkrocker' featuring Iggy Pop became a minor hit after it was placed in a Cadillac commercial in 2007, but it failed to crack the top 40 of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart at the time, only earning the 'bubbling under' designation. Now, however, the Teddybears/Pop version of 'Punkrocker' seems destined to become a legitimate hit. It's No. 13 this week on the Global Top 200 published by the music-identifying app Shazam. Moviegoers seeing Superman are likely using Shazam to identify the song as it plays on the box-office smash's end credits.A bonus bit of trivia: The Swedish group is not the first pop music act to go by that name. There was an American vocal group known as the Teddy Bears (two words), produced by Phil Spector, that scored a No. 1 hit in the late '50s with the song 'To Know Him Is to Love Him.' '70s Music Legend, 78, Made Key Lyrical Tweaks to Song That Won't Die first appeared on Parade on Jul 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
