If you ever need proof that '90s fashion trends are well and truly back, the Pam Anderson outfits that are taking over Gen Z TikTok should do the trick.
The actress, model and Playboy cover girl is having a veritable comeback, not only for her new Pam Anderson Netflix documentary (which features cameos from Pam's sons!) but also on our social media feeds, where fashion fans are finally giving the '90s icon her flowers for sparking some of the greatest style trends of the decade. (And we're not just talking about that iconic Baywatch red swimsuit.)
Appreciation for her figure-hugging corsets, fluffy bucket hats and iconic '90s hairstyles (the signature Pam updo is everything!) initially resurged after she became the subject of the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which gifted us Lily James' Pam Anderson transformation. But the fashion renaissance has stuck around, cementing Anderson's status as a true style icon.
From her sparkly sets to her pink leather mini dresses, here are some of Pam's most memorable fashions, including how to recreate them yourself. Enter #Pamcore...
Pam Anderson outfits are taking over TikTok:
Whenever there is a new series or documentary to binge, you can count on TikTok to create a social trend out of it and for Pam and Tommy, it was #Pamcore. The #Pamcore corner of the video-sharing platform saw fans recreating Pamela Anderson's best fashion looks, many of which are still very much in style.
The 2022 series—which starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan as Anderson and her ex-husband Tommy Lee, during the couple's infamous sex-tape robbery and the dramatic fallout that followed—not only opened conversations around misogyny and consent but also shone a light on the cultural icon that is Pamela Anderson. And that is exactly what #Pamcore is.
From her figure-skimming '90s slip dresses to her rocker-chick leather bustiers (hello Barb Wire!) and the bold fits she's known to wear while strutting down award-show red carpets, Anderson's bombshell lewks have captivated the Gen Z set, with the hashtag #pamelaanderson clocking a whopping 130 million views.
