Ariana Madix took inspiration from the best for her Love Island Games updo. Madix, 40, opened up about the meticulous messy bun that she wore while hosting season 2 of Love Island Games on Thursday, September 18. For the episode, she stunned in a '90s-inspired look inspired by the one and only Pamela Anderson. Her updo, courtesy of Carl Bembridge, featured her tresses pulled back into a high, messy bun with strands falling out and framing her face. Madix teamed her hairdo with a crystal Taylor Cox dress equipped with a plunging halter neckline and hearts, the numbers 777, flames, kiss marks, dice, palm trees and "Loves Me Not" stitched into the frock. Styled by Emily Men, she accessorized with gold earrings and a silver ring.

"My inspo was a '90s updo with a little Pamela Anderson & '90s Supermodel," she captioned a post. Anderson, 58, opened up about how to create her signature updo, which she often wore in her iconic Baywatch era, while chatting with British Vogue in 2023. While sharing what she keeps in her purse, Anderson pulled out a G-string and said, "Don't tell me that you don't have a scrunchie."

"This is the trick of the trade," she said as she twisted her blonde locks into the bun. "We're really flashing back to the '90s," she added. "The tousled updo always hid a pair of panties in them."
