The ultimate '90s blonde bombshell, Pamela Anderson, has officially shed her signature platinum locks and stepped into her new era as a full-blown redhead.

If you pictured the “Baywatch” star, you pictured that voluminous, sun-kissed blonde that’s practically a part of her DNA.

But at the recent Paris Fashion Week, she dropped a major style bomb by debuting a gorgeous, choppy bob in a stunning shade of copper-red.

This isn't just a fun new autumn colour, though.

The big change is all thanks to a new role in the upcoming Michael Cera-directed film, "Love is Not the Answer”, in which she plays the role of a sex worker.

Her bold new look perfectly complements the vibe she’s been serving lately.

The 58-year-old actress has become a total inspiration by embracing her natural beauty, going makeup-free on red carpets, and absolutely owning her confidence.

Swapping out a decades-long trademark colour for something this bold and authentic feels like the ultimate power move in her journey of self-acceptance.

Want to go red? Your guide to finding your perfect shade

Anderson’s transformation has some of us considering a fiery switch-up.

Red hair is one of the most dynamic and attention-grabbing colours out there, but finding the right tone is essential.

It all comes down to your skin's undertone, which is the subtle colour beneath your skin's surface.

Your skin tone determines what shade of red is best for you.

Cool undertones

If your skin has pink, red, or bluish hints, you’ll want to embrace shades that have blue or violet bases.

Think a striking Cherry Red, a sophisticated Burgundy, or a rich Deep Auburn.

These cool-toned reds will beautifully contrast with your complexion and keep your hair from looking too brassy.

Warm undertones

Ladies with skin that has golden, peachy, or yellow hints should gravitate toward red tones that have an orange or golden base.

Think a bright Copper, a natural-looking Ginger, a softer Strawberry Blonde, or a bold, True Red.

These fiery colours will enhance your skin's natural warmth and make your whole complexion absolutely glow.

Neutral undertones

Now, if you have neutral undertones, then you can consider yourself lucky.

You have the flexibility to pull off almost any shade because your skin is versatile enough to handle both warm and cool tones.

You can try a rich Mahogany or a perfectly balanced Light Auburn.
