By now, you’ve probably already seen Lily James’s uncanny on-screen transformation into Pamela Anderson in the new Hulu series, Pam & Tommy. The show follows Anderson and Tommy Lee’s infamous relationship in the ’90s, when the couple’s honeymoon sex tape was stolen and leaked to the public. To portray Anderson, James sports a bleach-blonde wig, heavy eyeliner, and the actor’s signature skinny eyebrows (don’t forget the skin-tight clothes and sky-high heels, too). The costume is a deliberately campy homage to the bombshell look that Anderson has perfected in Hollywood over the past four decades. And in honour of the buzzy series, let’s take a look back at 35 of Anderson’s best looks of all time.
Anderson has always had a knack for turning heads. She was first “discovered” in 1989 when she was 22. After she was splashed on a Jumbotron at a football game in B.C., Canada, to great applause, she was signed as a model to be a Lebatt Beer “Blue Zone” girl. In 1991, she made her television debut on Home Improvement as Lisa, the Tool Time Girl. Anderson went on to star in several TV shows afterwards, including Baywatch, V.I.P., and Stacked. But it was her public appearances that truly cemented her as a star: She hit the red carpets in sexy minidresses and skin-tight corsets, becoming a style icon in her own right throughout the ’90s and ’00s.
