Pamela Anderson’s 2025 Met Gala haircut proves that she is a “feminine warrior.”
“For the Met, I aimed for a look that was powerful, daring, and committed—reflecting the evening’s theme of head-to-toe tailoring,” Anderson shared with Who What Wear in an interview released Thursday.
The “Baywatch” star, now 57, embraced this year’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” theme by debuting a bold blunt haircut with micro bangs and donning a dazzling Tory Burch gown.
“I believe the world needs more of a feminine warrior presence, and this was my small contribution,” she added.
The model emphasized that the controversial coiffure “wasn’t about looking ‘good.’”
“That’s subjective anyway,” she said dismissively. “[Tory Burch’s] dress was the star. I was just blessed to wear it.”
Anderson initially cut her famously long blond hair to her shoulders “a few projects ago,” she said.
However, the “Last Showgirl” actress—an ardent admirer of Ingmar Bergman’s films, such as “Persona,” featuring Bibi Andersson and Liv Ullmann—mentioned that her haircut also served as “a subtle tribute to [her] favorite Bergman actresses.”
Anderson, who has stopped wearing makeup to most events and outings, made no exception at this year’s gala and attended fresh-faced and radiant. Her complexion boasted a bit of rouge and some color, but certainly looked mostly natural.
She accessorized with Pandora diamond jewelry that complimented her jewel-covered dress.
Anderson made her debut at the glamorous fundraising event last year, ascending the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art’s steps in a cream, corseted gown with an asymmetrical neckline by Oscar de la Renta.
Her soft glam was done by legendary artist Pat McGrath, the first time she had worn makeup in some 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,” McGrath shared in a press release at the time.
“We wanted to explore the next incarnation of natural — an elevation of natural — and to show how you can wear a full face of makeup but in a very fresh and beautiful way.”
