A Celebration Of Pamela Anderson’s Bombshell Style
Pamela Anderson may be known the world over as the voluptuous former star of Baywatch, but, she’s flown under the radar as something of a fashion plate thanks to her longstanding animal rights activism, which has made her a favorite of fashion’s foremost animal lovers, Stella McCartney and Vivienne Westwood among them. Adding to her fashion cred, Anderson is a regular in the front rows of Westwood—sometimes she’s even walked the shows!—and DSquared2. Newly 50, she’s entering a new phase of her career once again, though definitely still sticking to her roots: After starring in her first serious dramatic role in the short film Connected alongside Dree Hemingway, this year, Anderson turned up alongside Zac Efron and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the big-screen movie adaptation of Baywatch, much to the delight of her red swimsuit-wearing replacement, Kelly Rohrbach. See all of that and more of her best fashion moments from the past 20 years, here.

They presumably hit it off, as Anderson soon became the new face of Vivienne Westwood’s eponymous label, appearing in several of her shows and frequently accompanying the designer to industry events.
