Pamela Anderson's Go-To '90s Manicure Is One Of Fall 2026's Hottest Nail Trends

The fashion and beauty trends of the '90s have served as major style inspiration throughout the 2020s, with PamCore being a welcome addition to social media feeds. The term was coined to refer to the aesthetic that Pamela Anderson rocked throughout the decade, from high-cut swimsuits to her perfectly messy updo. With '90s nails trending for the fall 2026 season, the "Baywatch" actor's go-to manicure is also providing ample inspiration.

Anderson was often photographed in the '90s sporting a classic French manicure, opting for a long length and square-shaped tips. The resulting look balances the classic design with a bold shape that aligns with her usual style. At times, the blond bombshell would even add a pearly sheen reminiscent of the Hailey Bieber-popularized glazed donut trend, which brought a touch of elegance to the nail set.

The timelessness of the French mani means that this Anderson-approved design easily translates to modern day, with celebs like Selena Gomez and Kylie Jenner wearing similar styles in recent years. Alongside bold red shades and metallic finishes, the square-shaped French tip is a '90s-inspired nail trend set to make a major comeback this fall.

While Pamela Anderson has undergone a stunning style transformation throughout her career, her continual love for the '90s regularly manifests through her nail colors. The celeb has been pictured with a bright red set several times throughout the 2020s, deeming the shade as "in" when speaking to Harper's Bazaar during the 2023 Paris Fashion Week. Following that, she donned the iconic shade for a spread in Glamour's 2024 Women of the Year publication.

Crimson was majorly popular back in the '90s, seen in everyday advertisements while being worn by icons like Princess Diana and Drew Barrymore. Its modern resurgence in the nail sphere coincides with both the recent love for '90s styles and the trendiness of tomato red. The hue is bold and lively, looking absolutely fierce when paired with Anderson's signature confidence. So, whether you're opting for her classic French tips or picking up a similar shade of red, the blond bombshell definitely has the '90s-style nail inspo you need for fall 2026.
