If you still consider Millie Bobby Brown‘s signature hairstyle a shaved head, no offense, but you really haven’t been paying attention since the first (or fourth) season of Stranger Things. Now 21 years old, the actor has gone through a number of fun phases of different hairstyles, but no look has been quite as many miles from her buzzcut days as her current ‘90s bombshell blonde—and from the looks of her latest red carpet appearance, there’s a very specific blonde bombshell she’s trying (and succeeding) to channel.
When Brown revealed her new hair color earlier this month, we understandably made the argument that she was looking a whole lot like Britney Spears. But while she definitely served up some serious Y2K pop princess vibes, it seems she’s going a teensy bit further back in time to convey one of the most recognizable hairstyles of a solidly ’90s icon: Pamela Anderson.
On Monday, February 24, at the world premiere of The Electric State at Los Angeles’s Egyptian Theatre, Brown wore a sparkling, sculptural gown by Annie’s Ibiza, a pointy, black-tipped French manicure with three-dimensional gold squiggles, and a timeless neutral-glam makeup that included rosy lips with soft brown contouring, subtly winged black liner, and classic pink blush. But it’s Brown’s hair that instantly sparks memories of Anderson’s famous touseled updo.
