Pamela Anderson’s Best ‘90s Fashion Moments

Baby tees galore.

During a time when the grunge aesthetic was taking over, Pamela Anderson served us full-on fashion vixen. The Baywatch star’s wardrobe was full of baby tees, mini skirts, and the occasional latex dress — all of which could easily be recreated today.

At the start of ‘90s, Anderson had a softer approach to her outfits, like Reformation-worthy dresses, classic jean shorts, and even a few sporty ensembles. As her following grew, so did her fashion taste, and soon enough, Anderson was walking red carpets in statement hats, leather pants, and form-fitting corset tops. Her daring approach to getting dressed only added to her star power at the time, which is why Anderson remains a style inspiration decades later.

Ahead, check out some of Anderson’s best fashion moments from the ‘90s.
