Thank You, Pamela Anderson and Zoe Saldaña, For the Haircut of the Summer

Allow us to introduce you to the haircut of the summer. If you've been itching for a change that'll have everyone around you doing a double take — but don't know where to start — Pamela Anderson and Zoe Saldaña served up the ultimate inspiration at the 2025 Met Gala.

On Monday, May 5, stars flocked to the blue carpet at the Metropolitan Museum in New York City dressed to the nines for this year's theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," with french manicures and dollop bangs galore. But Anderson and Saldaña stole the show with their super-short bob haircuts that rendered them nearly unrecognizable to fans.

Both actors chopped their long hair to a chin length, reminiscent of the French bob. To take the look up a notch, they paired the blunt styles with equally short fringe by way of "micro" bangs — a polarizing yet chic trend.

Saldaña's hair was styled by celebrity hairstylist Mara Roszak in what she called a "1920s dandy bob." The inspiration? "For tonight's look, we were inspired by the tapered, sleek, tailored lines and exaggerated shapes found in signature dandy fashion," says Roszak in a press release. She used the Rōz Santa Lucia Styling Oil ($22) on Saldaña's wet hair to smooth it down, then dried it with the Olivia Garden SuperHP Hair Dryer ($300) and Ceramic + Ion Speed XL Round Thermal Brush ($31). Lastly, she used the Rōz Evergreen Style Cream ($32).

Anderson, on the other hand, has yet to share the mastermind behind her look (although it's worth noting she typically does her own hair and makeup — a relatable icon). The style featured a slightly fluffier finish with flipped-out ends that really showcased the blunt finish.

With summer around the corner — a time for experimentation and having fun — we see a complete hairstyle refresh in your future.
