Pam Bondi Is Almost Unrecognizable With Darker Hair In Throwback Photo

Pam Bondi is easy to spot in Washington, D.C. thanks to her bright-blond hair, but a decades-old photo of the attorney general proves that her light-colored locks may not be entirely natural. Back in 2017, Bondi posted a nostalgic photo on Instagram to celebrate her nephew Jake's birthday. The picture was taken in the late '90s when Jake was born and shows aunt Pam gleefully holding the newborn. The photo gives a unique glimpse into what Pam Bondi looks like makeup-free. 

Young Pam was in her early 30s at this point but could've easily been mistaken for a teenager with her youthful features. For example, the Florida native is seen with glowy, sun-kissed skin in the photo. Furthermore, Bondi is wearing a classic ribbed white long-sleeved sweater and matching white earrings, but the biggest surprise is what appears to be her natural hair color. You can see her roots clearly, with the top of her head sporting brunette strands. She did have elements of her signature blond shade by sporting flaxen streaks that trickled down through her long ponytail. Still, this look is a far cry from the beach-blond hair she wears today.

It's time to add Pam Bondi to the list of celebs who are nearly unrecognizable with their natural hair color. In her nostalgic picture, the attorney general has tasteful dirty-blond tresses pulled back in a simple ponytail. Her darker shade of hair color puts her entire appearance in a different light. For instance, the combination of Bondi's tan skin and dirty-blond locks make her eyes look darker. Unlike the modern-day Bondi, who has blue-gray eyes, her eyes appear to be more of a chestnut brown in the throwback photo. It's also apparent that the younger Bondi was much more minimal with her makeup, as she's wearing no eyeshadow or liner in the photo. Moreover, her eyebrows were thin, catering to the trending style of the '90s (that we're glad isn't coming back anytime soon).

One of the clearest differences that the photo exhibits is how Bondi's face has changed over the years. Social media users have speculated about whether Bondi has gotten plastic surgery, but the use of fillers is most likely how Pam Bondi's face has transformed, according to our plastic surgeon. Her upbringing in Florida surely required Bondi to take good care of her skin to prevent sun damage, and at nearly 60 years old today, Bondi's skin looks very healthy. Overall, her face appears to have minimal signs of aging with no blaring wrinkles or blemishes, perhaps because of a good skincare routine.
