Pamela Anderson Most Iconic Looks of All Time Preppy, Barbie and Americana: she is everything

Pamela Anderson has always had a way of making an impact. The Canadian actress first got in the public eye in 1989 after attending a BC Lions Canadian Football League match in Vancouver, where she was spotted on the giant jumbotron in a Labatt's Beer T-shirt. As a result, the company hired Anderson as a spokesmodel, and from that point on, her modeling career began. By 1990, she was named Playboy Playmate of the Month for February, after appearing on the October 1989 cover of the magazine. She became a regular on the Playboy covers, becoming the most-covered person in the magazine ever. From the modeling world, Anderson went right to the big screen, starring in productions such as Home Improvement (1991), Baywatch (1995), Barb Wire (1996), Scooby-Doo (2002), Scary Movie 3 (2003), and Blonde and Blonder (2006). Despite her extensive cinematic career, it was her public appearances that solidified her status as a star and established her as a fashion icon. Today, as the actress celebrates her 57th birthday, let's take a look back at Pamela Anderson's most iconic looks of all time.
