Lily James goes blonde as she prepares to morph into Pamela Anderson for new series

Lily James is sporting a striking new hair colour as she gears up to morph into Pamela Anderson for a new show.

The actress, 32, is now a blonde as she will play the former Baywatch star, 53, in a new TV series on Hulu.

Spotted out and about in California this week, Lily - who is known for her signature brunette locks - rocked the new hairdo as she ran errands in Los Angeles.

Filming for the upcoming show is set to start imminently, and the series - titled Pam & Tommy, will explore Pamela's tumultuous relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

The series is set to depict the infamous sex-tape scandal that rocked Hollywood - which saw Pamela and Tommy's sex tape be stolen by a former worker who leaked it online.

What's more, the series will delve into the pair's romance, which saw them get hitched on a beach in Mexico in 1995 - just four days after meeting.

The series is a far cry from her usual period dramas, however Lily proved her versatility as an actress after starring in Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again.

The actress will star alongside Sebastian Stan, 38, who is playing Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy.

Joining the cast alongside the pair is funnyman Seth Rogen, who will play the man who stole the infamous sex tape.

Seth is also the producer of the eight-episode TV series.

Sources told Deadline that Pamela and Tommy are not involved in the Hulu project, however the pair have been aware that it's taking place after Lily was brought in to play the model.

Pamela was first romantically involved with rockstar Tommy Lee in the 90s.

The couple went on to have two sons — Brandon, now 20, and Dylan, now 19 — before divorcing in 1998.

But shortly before they filed for divorce, the pair's sex tape leaked online, sparking massive public attention and tidal waves of publicity.

The couple was at the centre of a private scandal that turned into a public one very quickly.

Their safe, which contained an almost hour-long sex tape of the two, was stolen by a former worker.

The pair tried to block its release, with the actress suing the video distribution company, but the tape was eventually released online, with Pamela deciding to drop her suit.

But Pamela later found romance with rockstar Kid Rock, with whom she tied the knot in 2006.

The pair first dated in 2001, became engaged in 2002 and broke up in 2003. Three years later, they announced their engagement.

But just one year after they said "I Do," the pair filed for divorce in 2007.
