Farewell, peroxide Pamela Anderson! Lily James goes back to brunette

She made plenty of waves as Baywatch blonde Pamela Anderson – but Lily James is now back to her brunette self

She made plenty of waves as Baywatch blonde Pamela Anderson – but Lily James is now back to her brunette self.

The British actress had been spending up to five hours a day in hair and make-up to transform herself into the peroxide pin-up for a new biographical series about former Playboy star Pamela.

But when Lily went for an outing with her musician boyfriend Michael Shuman and his parents last week, she was finally able to ditch the blonde wig to be herself.

The 32-year-old wore a simple white T-shirt with fashionable high-waisted jeans and a chunky Gucci belt for the lunch in Los Angeles with Michael, 35, and his parents Ira and Janet.

Lily was first linked to the Queens Of The Stone Age bassist in February, when they were seen together near the Suffolk set of her last movie, What’s Love Got To Do With It? Ironically, he has dyed his normally brown locks blond.

An onlooker said: ‘The couple looked happy and relaxed. Lily seemed to be enjoying some downtime after what appeared to have been an intense filming schedule.’

Ms James takes the lead role in Pam & Tommy, a new eight-part mini-series for America’s Hulu streaming network, based on the Baywatch star’s whirlwind wedding and turbulent three-year-marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, who is played by Sebastian Stan.

Lily is soon expected to start filming The Paris Trap, a thriller about a young American woman who becomes the victim of mistaken identity during a visit to the French capital.
