Although short hair is undeniably stylish and impactful, the transitional phase of growing it out—when the length is insufficient to provide the same effect yet not long enough to feel substantial—can be challenging.

Fortunately, Pamela Anderson, the hair icon of 2025, has returned with another remarkable hairstyle that is both refined and sufficiently subtle for professional and casual settings. Following her introduction of copper hair in Paris for her role in the forthcoming film Love Is Not The Answer, Anderson attended the Tom Ford spring/summer 2026 show, showcasing her new scruffy haircut with a side part and a subtly slicked-back appearance.

Designed by hairstylist John Nollet, this contemporary finish marks a shift from Anderson’s earlier Old Hollywood aesthetic, demonstrating the bob's versatility.

Anderson's shaggy bob, inspired by French actress Marlene Jobert's appearance in the film Nous Ne Vieillirons Pas Ensemble, serves as an exemplary method for styling a bob or bangs during the growing-out phase. It repositions any unwieldy lengths away from the face while simultaneously establishing a voluminous silhouette at the front.
