Pamela Anderson Debuts Copper-Red Hair for Michael Cera Film

Pamela Anderson debuted a dramatic copper-red, mid-length shag at Paris Fashion Week, trading her longtime platinum-blonde signature for a shorter, layered cut she wore slicked back at Tom Ford and as an ’80s-inspired mullet at Mugler. Paris-based hairstylist John Nollet created the shaded, multidimensional ginger tone and styled multiple looks, citing classic European actresses as inspiration and tailoring the color and cut to a character. Outlets report the change was made in preparation for Anderson’s role in Michael Cera’s directorial debut Love Is Not the Answer, though current reports say she may appear opposite Steve Coogan and are less certain about other previously named co-stars. The warm copper-strawberry tone and shadowed roots mark a deliberate departure from Anderson’s decades-long platinum look and follow recent lower-glam appearances. The reinvention has generated wide social-media and press buzz, with reactions ranging from praise to viewing it as a high-profile style risk at age 58.
