Pamela Anderson Channels Marilyn Monroe With A Dramatic Bob Transformation - Here's How To Recreate It
Pamela Anderson just channelled Marilyn Monroe with a dramatic mid-century bob transformation whilst out-and-about in New York City's Meatpacking District yesterday. The Canadian-American actress and model stepped out wearing a polished set of wispy vintage curls and a voluminous quiff-shaped fringe, a huge departure from both her recently pared-back signature style and her coveted '90s appearance (although, her trademark fine brows are not going anywhere yet).
Anderson's fresh bob feels quintessentially Marilyn Monroe. It captures the essence of the 'Italian cut', which was incredibly popular throughout the mid-to-late '50s and early '60s, with the fluffiness and shine of a modern bob's finish.
'The '60s style bob is cut bluntly and raised above the shoulders or at chin length, with minimal layering,' says professional hairstylist Jack Luckhurst. 'This retro-inspired style can be worn with soft curls or flipped out for a playful edge — both flattering options at this versatile length.'
Looking to recreate the look yourself? A trip to the salon is essential, as this dramatic cut requires an expert eye and some meticulous styling. 'If you want this look, ask your hairdresser for a blunt bob that sits above your shoulders or chin, with little to no layering,' he advises. 'Let your stylist know you'd like to style it with soft curls or a flicked-out finish for a vintage 60s vibe.'
Anderson debuted her new bob haircut, which she typical wears with her natural, air-dried waves, during this year's Met Gala red carpet. The cut sits at a flattering chin length, with a snippy yet blunt finish, emphasising the thickness and body of her natural locks.

Shohei Ohtani makes history with 60th run
The post Shohei Ohtani makes history with 60th run appeared first on ClutchPoints. The reigning American and National League MVPs went head-to-head Friday night in a rematch of the 2024 World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers hosted the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge put on a show. Advertisement While Judge started things off with a deep home run to center in the top of the first, Ohtani answered back with a blast in the bottom of the inning. When Ohtani finished his trot and touched home plate he made history, scoring his 60th run of the season. He's the first player in the modern era to score 60 runs before the month of June, per OptaSTATS on X. Shohei Ohtani powers the Dodgers past the Yankees Jason Parkhurst-Imagn Images Of course, Ohtani would hit another home run in the sixth inning – his MLB-leading 22nd homer – and score his 61st run of the season. If the Dodgers star continues at this blistering pace, he'd score 173 runs this year. That would place him third all-time for runs scored in a single season. But it would be 24 more runs scored than anyone who's played baseball in the 21st century. Advertisement Ohtani began the day leading the majors with 20 home runs. Then Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh clubbed two homers against the Twins, putting him at 21 on the season. But Shohei matched Raleigh with two bombs of his own against the Yankees to retain the MLB lead. In addition to padding his stats, those two home runs helped the Dodgers overcome the Yankees. The World Series rematch turned into an MVP home run derby when Paul Goldschmidt went deep in the third inning. Four Yankees players homered in the game but the Dodgers came out on top with the 8-5 victory. Los Angeles is now 35-22 on the season with a two game lead over the second-place San Diego Padres in the NL West. The division is highly competitive, putting pressure on the Dodgers, who have endured an injury-riddled pitching staff this year. And, the team announced that Mookie Betts missed Friday's game with an injury after the former MVP stubbed his big left toe. Betts is considered day-to-day as the Dodgers anxiously await the results of his X-rays.

Alcaraz, Swiatek and Sabalenka in French Open semi-final hunt
Carlos Alcaraz expects a stiff challenge from Tommy Paul in the French Open quarter-finals Tuesday, as women's title rivals Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka look to set up a blockbuster clash. Reigning men's champion Alcaraz is through to the last eight at Roland Garros for the fourth year running and aims to become the third man this century to defend his title, after Gustavo Kuerten and Rafael Nadal. Alcaraz has dropped a set in each of the past three rounds and said "I fought against myself in the mind" after a tough four-set victory over Ben Shelton in the last 16. The 22-year-old Spaniard holds a 4-2 career record against Paul, the US 12th seed whom Alcaraz beat in the quarter-finals of the Paris Olympics on the way to a silver medal last August. "I remember that every match that I've played against him he was really tough," said Alcaraz. "His level is really high right now. He has a lot of confidence. "It's going to be a really interesting match to watch, because every time we play against each other, we rise our level to the top as well." If Alcaraz gets past Paul he will meet the winner of Tuesday's other men's quarter-final between in-form Italian Lorenzo Musetti and Frances Tiafoe. Musetti has been one of the form players on clay this season, reaching at least the last four in all three of the principal warm-up events ahead of the French Open. Both Musetti and US 15th seed Tiafoe are appearing at this stage of Roland Garros for the first time. Tiafoe, twice a US Open semi-finalist, has yet to drop a set in Paris and is confident he can go even further. "When I'm playing well, I'm there and present and having fun, I think the sky's the limit for me." - Swiatek, Sabalenka on collision course - Swiatek arrived at her favourite tournament with serious doubts over her ability to win a fifth French Open in six years after a lengthy trophy drought. The 24-year-old Pole has not won a title since lifting the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen for a third successive edition 12 months ago. She was put to the test by Elena Rybakina, who led by a set and a break before Swiatek escaped trouble to book a quarter-final with Elina Svitolina. "It means a lot. I think I needed that kind of win to like feel these feelings that I'm able to win under pressure," Swiatek said after reeling off her 25th win in a row at the French Open. "It's a great confirmation for me. Yeah, I for sure wanted to have a match like that." Ukrainian 13th seed Svitolina pulled off an even more remarkable comeback against 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini, saving three match points to reach her fifth Roland Garros quarter-final. The 30-year-old has never advanced to the last four but will hope to finally match husband Gael Monfils' run to the semi-finals in 2008. That French connection also guarantees Svitolina has her fair share of supporters in Paris. "For so many years I loved and still loving to play here in France," she said. "The support is amazing. They push me to play better... this is a great feeling to have when the crowd is giving you this extra energy." World number one Aryna Sabalenka is on a revenge mission against Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen after losing to the Chinese star in Rome recently. Zheng beat Sabalenka for the first time in seven attempts and will try to repeat the trick against the player she lost to in the 2024 Australian Open final. "I expect a great battle, and I'm super excited to face her in the quarter-finals, and I want to get my revenge. Yeah, I want to get this win after Rome," said Sabalenka. Madrid champion Sabalenka feels she is ready to go all the way in Paris, where her best performance was reaching the semi-finals two years ago. "I think in the last year I improved a lot in my game, and I think now going to the French Open, I don't have those doubts that I cannot play on clay, so maybe I'm more confident this year." A win over Zheng could line up an eagerly anticipated last-four showdown with Swiatek. mw/jc

Kentucky's Famed Willett Distillery Breaks Tradition With Its First Long-Term Brand Collaboration
Willett Distillery has entered its first-ever long-term brand partnership with Binder's Stash, marking a significant shift for the historically independent bourbon producer. The partnership grants Binder's Stash access to Willett's rare whiskey inventory, including experimental mashbills and aged barrels. Binder's Stash will also benefit from Willett's bottling operations and distribution network, helping elevate the emerging brand's production quality and global iconic, family-owned Willett Distillery has announced its first partnership with another whiskey company, Bardstown Kentucky's Binder's Stash. Willett, founded in 1936, is one of the most sought-after Bourbon producers in the whiskey-collecting world, with its renowned purple-top Family Estate Bourbons ranking among the most coveted (and expensive, particularly in the secondary market) bottles available. In the past, the distillery has engaged in a few one-off partnerships — Kiamichi Whiskey with the Kings of Leon, which now sells for upwards of $500 a bottle, and with Metallica's Blackened Whiskey — but this is the first ongoing, long-term partnership with another bourbon brand. It appears to be a boon for both Willett fans and fans of Binder's Stash, an emerging star among collectible whiskies. Related: This Is the World's Best Bourbon, According to the World Whiskies Awards The partnership gives Binder's Stash exclusive access to Willett's highly sought-after inventory, including experimental mashbills and limited barrels, advancing the brand founder Bill Binder's mission to create deeply expressive, high-end whiskeys with unmatched provenance. The first releases will likely appear this summer, 'with some pretty cool single-barrels,' says Binder. 'They've agreed to sell us some of their really special aged whiskies, which I find kind of hard to believe myself.' 'We are excited to work with Bill and his incredibly bold brand, Binder's Stash,' says Drew Kulsveen, Willett Distillery's master distiller. 'This partnership sets the stage for future opportunities and represents a bold step forward in expanding the boundaries of what's possible in the world of aged whiskey. This limited relationship allows us to support a partner that shares our dedication to quality, innovation, and the future of American Whiskey.' The partnership started out of Kulsveen's offer of advice early on when Binder was starting his brand. 'Then later, we had an issue with our bottling — our wax was never great,' Binder says. 'People who had our whiskies knew you had to pull out a really sharp knife to get the wax off. So Drew said, Come on down here, and I'll show you how we do our wax. Then he said, Wait. I have an even better idea — why don't we just handle this for you?' As a result, Binder's Stash will now benefit from Willett's state-of-the-art bottling operations and extensive distribution platform across domestic and global markets. The first single-barrel Binder's releases using aged Willett spirit will appear this summer. 'This one-of-a-kind partnership with Willett marks a turning point for Binder's Stash,' says Bill Binder. 'We've built our reputation by sourcing and releasing some of the most distinctive American whiskeys in the country, but Willett represents a different level: generational expertise, uncompromising quality, and a legacy that elevates everything it touches. Together, we're setting a new bar for what American whiskey can be.'Willett's 'purple tops' refer to its Family Estate Bottled Bourbon and Rye, ultra-limited single-barrel expressions that are bottled at barrel proof and individually selected for their character. These whiskeys are typically aged 8 to 15 years or more, and the signature purple wax seal has become a visual cue for serious collectors. Each bottle features handwritten details like barrel number, age, and proof — making them unique, unblended, and highly contrast, Willett also produces several house brands and blended whiskeys under names like Rowan's Creek, Noah's Mill, Johnny Drum, and Pure Kentucky. These are generally small-batch, more widely distributed bourbons at lower proof points, and often made from sourced whiskey or blended with Willett-distilled stock. While still respected, these are positioned for broader access — the purple tops are the crown the original article on Food & Wine Sign in to access your portfolio
