Pamela Anderson’s copper mullet hair transformation is pretty cool looking




Two years ago, Pamela Anderson showed up to a Vivienne Westwood show at Paris Fashion Week without makeup. It was the official debut of her au naturel era. Well, Pammy is back in Paris for PFW 2025 and she’s done it again! This time, the big reveal was a new hair cut and color. Famously blonde Pam is now sporting short red hair. Pamela took her new hairdo out in different styles to a few PWF events. The first night, she showed up in a shaggy mullet while at the Tom Ford show, she wore a cool, slicked back look. The next day, at the Mugler show, it was curly. Apparently it’s for a role.

The Baywatch alum debuted a drastic new ‘do, ditching her signature blonde locks for a shorter, shaggier chop in a striking red color.

Pamela showed off her shocking transformation in photos taken by Marco Bahler at a Condé Nast Paris Fashion Week party, where she wore a sleeveless ivory satin dress with draping details that hung down her back.

The 58-year-old’s new look was done by John Nollet, and the Paris-based hairstylist confirmed on his Instagram Stories that the transformation is for an upcoming film role of hers.

Pamela is set to star in Michael Cera’s upcoming directorial debut Love Is Not the Answer opposite Steve Coogan and Jamie Dornan, Variety reported back in May.

I love Pam’s new hair. She looks like a freaking bad ass. Some pictures make the color look almost strawberry blonde, but I think it’s best described as copper. It actually reminds me of Gillian Anderson’s X-Files hair color and cut. It also makes her blue eyes appear even more striking and almost green. I would not be upset if Pammy kept this color for a little while longer after filming is over. Pam is actually a natural brunette, so seeing her look so beautiful in a darker tone isn’t surprising. When asked about her hair at a Mugler show, Pamela responded, ”I’m having fun, I’m playing with it. It’s going to be different everyday.” I’m fully on board with a Copper Pam and can’t wait to see what other lewks she serves us.

Mail: Princess Kate’s blonde hair is probably the result of sitting on a yacht this summer

On Sunday, the Princess of Wales was seen and photographed in public for the first time since mid-July. Kate, her husband and their children traveled to Balmoral on Friday (??) and they were seen heading to church on the Balmoral estate. The biggest headline seems to be about Kate’s new hair. It might be a trick of the light, but her hair looks much lighter than it looked at Wimbledon. In my opinion, Kate loves to “lighten” her dark hair – soon after QEII died, I remember the photos of her much-lighter hair in the weeks afterward. Either she’s been experimenting with caramel-blonde highlights on-and-off for several years, or she just randomly has some much-lighter hairpieces which she cycles in every so often. Well, in any case, William and Kate are still being actively sh-tlisted by the Daily Mail and it’s so f–king funny. The Mail has a new exclusive about Kate and how her hair probably got lighter in the sun… as she sunbathed on a yacht.

The Princess of Wales’s apparent new lighter locks debuted at the Balmoral service yesterday are the result of a summer ‘spent in the sun’, experts have claimed. Kate, 43, revealed her new look in the car on the way to the Sunday service at Crathie Kirk, accompanied by her husband Prince William, and children Princes George, 12, and Louis, seven, as well as Princess Charlotte, 10.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, experts have claimed that, the mother-of-three’s blonder locks may also be the result of spending more time in the sun than usual. In July, the Wales family were reported to have enjoyed a holiday to Kefalonia on their superyacht, sailing around the Greek islands. Boasting average temperatures of 24C to 30C in summer, it’s therefore likely that spending prolonged periods outdoors may have naturally lightened Kate’s hair, giving a ‘dyed’ effect.

Sarah Gadston, a freelance stylist, told the Daily Mail: ‘After a sun-soaked holiday in Greece, Kate returned not only with a refreshed spirit but also with naturally lightened hair. The combination of sea air, sunshine, and saltwater had gently lifted her hair to a softer shade – creating the perfect starting point for her next salon visit.’

Sarah believes that Kate’s naturally lightened hair led her hairdresser to ‘see an opportunity’ to go a few shades blonder – as it required ‘less chemical processing’ to do so.

Sarah added: ‘As Kate embraces the natural changes that come with aging, such as the increasing presence of grey strands, she’s made a thoughtful shift in her hair colour strategy. Rather than covering greys with darker dyes – which often require more frequent maintenance- she’s opted for a lighter, blended tone. This approach not only gives her hair a softer, more natural appearance but also helps camouflage greys in a subtle, low-maintenance way. Thanks to her time in the Greek sun, Kate has found a new, more effortless hair colour that flatters her features, respects the health of her hair, and celebrates the beauty of aging with confidence.’

[From The Daily Mail]

When I was a kid, I spent so many summers in the sun, and my dark, Indian hair would get all of these lovely auburn streaks. Now that I dye my hair regularly, that obviously doesn’t happen. Kate also dyes her hair regularly (the front part at least). What I’m saying is that this honey-blonde didn’t occur naturally because she was sunbathing on a yacht and lounging around a pool at Anmer Hall (although I’m happy that the Mail is pointing out her activities). It happened because she either paid for that dye or paid for that wig.

???? The Princess appears to be having a blonde moment – and we can expect the rest of the world to follow suit

Jenna Bush Hager got a cute blunt bob cut on The Today Show




Jenna Bush Hager has been doing the fourth hour of the Today show without a permanent co-anchor ever since Hoda Kotb retired in early January. Since then, Jenna & Friends has relied on a steady stream of celebrity guest hosts. Jenna’s guest co-anchors have included Taraji P. Henson, Scarlett Johannson, Halle Berry, Andy Cohen, and Henry Winkler. Jenna’s sister, Barbara Bush, took a turn for two days in March, while Hoda came back to her old seat for one day at the end of May. Today’s website is keeping a running list.

Jenna’s guest host on June 16 was Leslie Bibb. Leslie previously appeared as a guest on the March 27 episode of Today to promote The White Lotus. During her interview, she and Jenna talked about the hubbub that people were making about her character’s haircut, which was a blunt bob. Leslie’s bob is all the rage nowadays, and back in March, Jenna promised Leslie that she’d try out the cut herself. On Monday, not only did Jenna fulfill her promise, she also brought out celeb hairstylist Chris McMillan to cut her hair on live TV.

Jenna Bush Hager is checking into the summer with a new look.

Indeed, the Jenna & Friends host made good on her promise to Leslie Bibb and joined the White Lotus star in rocking one of the summer’s most in demand looks: The blunt bob. And Jenna had Leslie’s hairstylist Chris McMillan along for the ride to help her achieve the look.

As the final hour of Today came to a close June 16, Jenna took the plunge with Leslie by her side as Chris—who is also known for Jennifer Aniston’s iconic Rachel haircut from Friends—slowly chopped the back of Jenna’s signature shoulder length hair blonde tresses.

And Leslie, who first convinced Jenna to try out the cut in during her March appearance on the show, cheered Jenna on as Chris got to work, telling her, “You’re such a badass, you’re cool. I love this.”

As for Jenna’s reaction to the ‘do after Leslie handed Jenna the clipped blonde tresses from the nape of her neck Jenna exclaimed “Whoa that’s so short.”

However, Chris assured Jenna that the back of the head is always the shortest part and that the look would actually accent the color that she already has in her hair. And though she was getting the cut done in front of Leslie, Today staff, onlookers outside of Studio 6A and viewers at home Jenna—mom to kids Mila, 13, Poppy, 9, and Hal, 5, with husband Henry Hager—revealed the one person she’s curious for a reaction from. who was a little apprehensive.

“I will say, my daughter was like, ‘Mom don’t do it,’” she said. “‘You’re gonna regret it.’”

“Tomorrow,” Jenna told the camera, “You’ll see the full look.”

After the show, Chris shared insight into the style, sharing he wanted to keep Jenna’s look “a little more modern and sexy,” so that the anchor can be versatile with her hair like Jessica Biel, Leslie and Charlize Theron.

“You can slick it behind your ears, like do the tuck,” he told Today.com in an interview published June 16. “You can wear it natural, you can wear it wavy.”

[From E! News Online]

As I watched the segment I could feel Jenna’s nerves through the screen. She is much braver than I am, but as Chris said to help her calm down, ”Hair grows.” Leslie was so freaking excited about the whole thing that her enthusiasm was making me nervous! The blunt bob looks good on Jenna, though. I looked at a side-by-side picture of her hair before and after, I think the shorter hair looks better on her. She also looks so much like her mother, my goodness. Every few years, I get the urge to cut my hair short, and every single time, I regret it. My hair is too thick and wavy for a bob! I’m currently trying to grow out a terrible bob I got in February 2024, and it’s taking forever. I’m jealous of anyone who can pull it off.

Here’s the video of Jenna getting her haircut on live television:

hair Henry Cavill Natalie Viscuso

Henry Cavill shows off his long, curly hair in Italy: glorious or not that cute?

When I was a kid, my (Indian) hair was jet-black and pin-straight. My hair wouldn’t even “take” a curl – if I tried to curl it or crimp it (it was the ‘80s), the curl or crimp would only stick for a few minutes before reverting to its natural pin-straight existence. In my 20s and 30s, something magical happened though – natural waves, even a couple of “curls” here and there. All of which to say, I’ve slowly realized that I always wanted curly hair or naturally wavy hair. And I’m jealous of Henry Cavill’s glorious curls, even if I think he looks terrible in general.

These are photos of Henry and his wife/fiancee/partner Natalie Viscuso at the Taormina Film Festival this week. This is his natural hair, it’s not a wig (even though from the side, it looks very wiggy). He’s been growing it out for months! He made an appearance in March where his hair was this long, but he mostly kept it covered with a hat. I would imagine it’s for a role? I looked at his IMDB and he’s got tons of projects in post and pre-production.

Cavill and Natalie also welcomed their first child late last year or early this year. They never confirmed anything, probably because his fanbase already has an unhealthy interest in Natalie. I hope they’re enjoying parenthood. I’m not judging her peach sack dress – cut new moms some slack.

Elvira to Duchess Meghan: if you ever need beauty advice from a queen let me know

Embed from Getty Images


Duchess Meghan was connected to celebrity colorist Kadi Lee in 2020, after Meghan had underwhelming results when trying out boxed dye during lockdown. She can make jam, keep bees, and has mastered the art of calligraphy, but the boxed dye stymied Mrs. Sussex. Hey, we can’t be good at everything! Anyway, we learned this whole backstory last November when Meghan celebrated the launch of Kadi’s Highbrow Hippie haircare line, another woman-run business Meghan invested in. At the time, Meghan said of Kadi: “I am so proud to invest in her as a friend and as a female founder.” That was well before we knew that Meghan’s Lemonada podcast would be released in April and called Confessions of a Female Founder, or that Kadi would appear on the pod. During that April 22 episode, Meghan again brought up her inglorious brush with boxed dye, calling her coloring attempt “very inky, almost Elvira-esque black.” Well, it’s taken a month, but Cassandra Peterson, the real Elvira herself, caught wind of the comment and issued a response to Meg on Instagram:

Cassandra Peterson, the actress behind the iconic Elvira character, playfully weighed in after Meghan joked about an at-home dye fail that left her looking “almost Elvira-esque” during the pandemic.

The Duchess of Sussex shared the anecdote on a recent episode of her podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, recalling how a DIY hair job in 2020 turned her locks “very inky, almost Elvira-esque black.”

“Hey princess, if you ever need beauty advice from a queen just let me know,” Peterson wrote in a post on Instagram under the handle @therealelvira.

Peterson, 73, posted a screenshot of the article to her Instagram alongside a signature glam shot of her in full character as the Mistress of the Dark.

On her podcast, Meghan said that the hair mishap ultimately led her to connect with her current colorist — and close friend — Kadi Lee.

The Duchess of Sussex shared that she met Lee through hair stylist Serge Normant, who styled her tresses for her 2018 royal wedding to Prince Harry.

“He and I became friends after he did my hair for my wedding,” Meghan said about Normant. “So my family had just moved to California. We were staying in our friend’s home. And because it was the pandemic, I kept ordering boxed hair dye. And I thought, ‘I’m gonna look just like she does on the box.’”

However, the DIY style didn’t quite turn out like she imagined!

“Instead, it was this very inky, almost Elvira-esque black hair,” Meghan said in a relatable revelation. “And I texted Serge, and he said ‘You need to see Kadi.’ And you came over. I mean, we were masked and all the things. It was such an interesting time, but I remember that day so well.”

[From People]

People will read this clapback from Cassandra in all sorts of ways (and they certainly are in the comments to the post), but my take is that it is all playful and in good faith. Cassandra saw an opening and took it! What’s the worst that could happen? Either Cassandra continues her life as someone who has never had any direct contact with Meghan Sussex. Or, what I think would be the smarter move, Meghan reaches out in some way. Sends her a jar of honey, some bewitching bath salts, or invites her over to make a snazzy video of unloading a Tesla. There’s opportunity here for a moment that would be PR gold for both ladies, is what I’m saying! Kind of like the way Meg and Gwyneth Paltrow deftly quashed those feud rumors.

As for tress maintenance, I’m trying to think back into the murky void of that first year of the pandemic, to remember when I started getting my hair cut/colored again. I definitely stretched out the visits longer than usual, and went to a hole-in-the-wall, struggling salon I had stumbled upon near my friend’s apartment, where I was staying to take care of his rabbit (and no, that isn’t a euphemism for anything). Everyone was masked the whole time (including myself), and the place was always sparsely attended (I was usually the only client there). I felt we were all taking safety precautions, and my heart went out to the small business. Happy to report that the salon is still open. The rabbit, sadly, is no longer with us.

Fashion hair Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman’s hair magically grew back after debuting a short style at the Met Gala

One of the worst-dressed of this year’s Met Gala was absolutely Nicole Kidman. Her Balenciaga gown didn’t have anything to do with the theme, and she debuted a terrible new hairstyle. At the Met Gala, her hair was a two-tone “skaterboi” haircut, cropped short with a longer dirty-blonde swoop in front. I wrote at the time that it looked like this was Nicole’s real hair after she had removed her wig and hair extensions/weaves. Well, Nicole was out last night in Texas for the Academy of Country Music Awards, alongside her husband Keith Urban. Her hair was back to “normal” – pin-straight strawberry blonde and past her shoulders. Now people claim that Nicole wore a wig at the Met Gala?

Nicole Kidman brought back her signature long locks at the Academy of Country Music Awards 2025 on Thursday — following speculation she wore a pixie-length wig to the Met Gala 2025.

Kidman arrived to country’s big night in Texas on the arm of her husband, Keith Urban, rocking a chic black leather halter top and tailored pants with a wraparound skirt detail and matching heels. Her hair was styled long and fell down around her shoulders as she posed alongside Urban on the red carpet.

[From Page Six]

Years of Wiglet Watch has brought me here, to this moment. It’s possible that Nicole wore a wig to the Met Gala. But it’s more than possible that all of her strawberry-blonde hairstyles are all just wigs and hairpieces too. If anything, I believe Nicole’s “real hair” looks more like it did at the Met Gala. In recent years, she’s been wearing some really obvious wigs to some of her red carpet events. CB just pointed out that Nicole’s hair stylist posted photos of Nicole’s Met Gala hair, and there’s a heated stylist-discussion in the comments about whether that short style is a wig. In the IG photos, you can really tell that it is a wig! But I also think her ACM hair looks like a wig too. Maybe she’s just wearing wigs every time she steps outside now?

Nicole’s black ensemble at the ACMs was Monse, btw. I really like it!

John Cena: Thank you for bullying me into surgical hair replacement




John Cena made some big news this week, as I’m sure you’re well aware of by now. I’m talking, of course, about his hair replacement revelation. (What’s that you say? He also just won a record-breaking 17th World Championship at WrestleMania 41, during his farewell tour before retiring from wrestling altogether? Well good for him!) Cena appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday (ah, as a victory lap for WrestleMania, it all makes sense now) which is where he made his full-throated declaration in front of a live audience… who he pretty much blamed for driving him to take action with his hair. Wrestlers’ feelings can get hurt just as much as their bodies, and Cena claimed he’d had enough of fans loudly calling out his bald spot(s). As he put it: “Thank you for bullying me into surgical hair replacement.” But we still have to wait for the results, as he’s still donning baseball caps until the follicle fruits of his November procedure fully settle in.

You can’t see John Cena’s hair right now.

That’s because the WWE icon is waiting for it to grow out after undergoing hair transplant, a procedure he sought out after facing criticism from wrestling fans over what he called a “bald spot” on his head.

“You guys ripped me to shreds for a genetic problem that I can’t control,” John quipped to the crowd during a public taping of The Pat McAfee Show on April 21, one day after defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. “In unison, you chant and make me feel small and embarrass me.”

Sharing that he’s also seen “so many bald spot signs,” the 47-year-old continued, “That is straight-up bullying and not cool. Thank you for bullying me into surgical hair replacement. That’s how far y’all pushed me.”

John said he underwent the procedure in November, when doctors took hairs from the side of his head to “plant them in on top.”

“There is no shame in that,” he shared of his hair transplant, noting that balding “happens to seven out of 10 dudes.”

“I got a problem,” John admitted. “I try to fix it.”

Describing his hair journey as a “work in progress,” the Peacemaker star added, “Hopefully in a couple months, it looks better.”

But there is another hairy situation for John. As he explained, “I can’t grow a mustache.”

“Dude, I can’t grow facial hair,” he light-heartedly confessed. “I haven’t shaved in 10 years.”

John quipped that he may only be able to grow a ‘stache if he were to transplant hairs from “up top.”

“See, I listen to you idiots,” he joked. “You take the lawn over here and put it on the dry spot.”

[From E! News]

I watched this part of the interview, and to me it genuinely seemed like Cena was trying to be joking and playful with the audience, as opposed to making serious accusations of bullying. Though, of course, humor is often deployed to mask pain… But I stand by my take that he’s solid and comfortable with his decision. I also don’t think he would really turn to surgery over taunts from the public, but hey, it’s not like I know the guy personally! I do enjoy that men are talking more openly about their own cosmetic procedures (#AskHimMore), like Ike Barinholtz revealing he undergoes platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for his hair. If you have the means, it’s not hurting you or anyone else, and, most importantly, it makes you feel good about yourself, then maintain your masculine manes in good health. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Cena gets tapped for an endorsement deal, once he’s ready to unveil his coif. He’s got the perfect slogan ready to go: “You take the lawn over here and put it on the dry spot.”

I had a hair transplant” ~ @JohnCena #PMSLive https://t.co/Ui7HbM7WUp pic.twitter.com/2sj1rlJXsa
