Pamela Anderson shocks us all with a super short Joan of Arc bob haircut

Every year, the Met Gala's red carpet looks get more and more shocking – from risqué fashion 'fits to dramatic beauty looks, celebrities know how to make a headline... or two. And 2025 is no different, with Pamela Anderson taking one for the team with a striking bob haircut. Warning: 'Tis a shocker!

Overnight, the 57-year-old actor attended the Met Ball at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and adhering to the "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style" theme, she wore a bedazzled ice-blue Tory Burch silver sleeved gown complete with a jewelled ear cuff. [Insert endless fire emojis, here]

Fashions aside, what stole the show was not Pam's dress, but her hairstyle. I mean, she's only gone and ditched her chest-length blonde locks for a French bob and super short micro fringe!

Doesn't she look gorgeous posing alongside her son, Brandon Thomas Lee?

Now, IMO, this fresh chin-skimming haircut is reminiscent of Zendaya's 2018 Met Gala look, which drew inspiration from the patron saint of France, Joan of Arc.

Icons only, TBH.

Now, I'm no pessimist, but with all that said, we must speculate that Pam's new 'do may, in fact, be a wig. After all, it is the Met Gala, so anything is possible!

Alas, wig or not, this bob is certainly one for the history books. Mark my words: Legendary.
