Each decade has its "atomic bomb", and Pamela Anderson is undeniably that of the 1990s. Blonde hair, incendiary silhouette, sulphurous eyes, this 25-year-old Canadian at the time bursts the small screen in the television series
Alerte à Malibu
broadcast in 1992. The interpreter of CJ Parker, a young rescuer at sea with a big heart, made her swimsuit a high-cut red piece a cultural reference.
And unquestionably the most mythical of her looks, which have often marked the spirits.

For the Cannes Film Festival in 1995, Pamela Anderson made a grand entrance aboard a yacht, wearing a low-cut black leather corset and matching tight pants.
All paired with high boots, a pair of gloves and sunglasses: a look inspired by the femme fatale character she played in the film
Barb Wire
, which was released the following year.
Second degree
No rest when your name is Pamela Anderson in the 1990s: in 1997, we find her on the arm of her husband at the time, Tommy Lee, drummer of the glam-metal band Mötley Crüe, on the red carpet of the American Music Awards.
For the occasion, she's betting on a wacky outfit: a long transparent black and red high-necked dress, accompanied by a gigantic black hat.
It won't be the last time the actress chooses bizarre headwear, like this pink, furry piece paired with a white corset and sequin pants at the 1999 MTV Awards. A silhouette so iconic that even Kim Kardashian wanted to recreate it for Halloween in 2018.

Sexy and tight
She has made it her fashion signature: each of Pamela Anderson's appearances is made with great reinforcements of pronounced necklines and wide slits.
In 2002, for the American Music Awards, it was in a silver chainmail ensemble that she caused a sensation.
Split on both sides, her low-waisted skirt reveals the top of her thighs.
Three years later, it is in a tight red micro-dress that she ignites the anniversary evening of the Virgin Atlantic airline.
Pamela Anderson, or the assumed sexy.
