True Blood Fashion: The Lady Vampire
Previously in our True Blood Fashion series we’ve taken a look at Maryann and Sarah Newlin and what their clothes have to say about them. This week our spotlight is on Pam, the world’s snarkiest vampire in a Chanel suit.
Ladies Who Lunch
“Can I kick him?”, Pam drawls while looking down at Lafayette. It’s a typical Pam statement, made even more amusing when coupled with her conservative, slightly-retro navy dress and modified beehive hairdo. Pam is deadly and has no morals that we can see, yet her personal wardrobe is more “social matron” than “bloodsucker”, somewhat hilariously preferring pastels and neutrals. From beautifully tailored vintage Chanel suits to cashmere sweaters to classic coat dresses, it looks like Pam has decided that following fashion trends is beneath her.

Ladies Who Bite
It’s not all prim and proper in Pam’s wardrobe, though. When she’s on duty at Fangtasia, she gives the tourists what they want with her long black leather dress. It’s a slightly terrifying effect, but you know that’s what the patrons are after. Pam obviously values her expensive clothing, so when it comes time to give Eric a makeover, she ditches the dresses and dons a more sensible Juicy Couture tracksuit (sadly, the “dressage plum” color is no longer available).

Ladies Who Accessorize
Pam is the kind of woman who puts together a “look” rather than just throwing on an outfit, therefore her accessories are equally notable. She prefers gold jewelry, of course, to add a bit of gleam to her ensemble. And of course if she ever gets in a bind, she can sell all that gold jewelry for cash. She also has a bevy of gorgeous statement bags to hold her necessities. Which begs the question: just what would a vampire need to carry around with her? But perhaps the most talked about accessory this season are Pam’s favorite pumps, a gorgeous pair of Betsey Johnson’s “Risky” heels in magenta. I hope she had a spare pair stashed in her closet.

She’s a fashion plate for the ages, our Pam. But underneath the expert tailoring and expensive fabrics is a woman who knows what she wants and how to get it. Chanel has never looked scarier.

Pam sure knows how to pull a look together.
Yep, I like her style) And especially her hairstyle in the s02e02. I tried it to myself and I it suits me
I love Pam. She to me makes the show. She has that smart ass but bitchey look which is Hott. And Pam, I loce your Pumps!!!
vampcatherine, i’am with you. Pam’s kind of funny.I think her charcter should be more involved in the series. As far as i’am concerned, can’t see to much of her.
Pam indeed is a modern sophisticated female vampire who got the looks and who surely knows how to dress beautifully.. Smart and elegant, who wouldn’t want her bite?
they really were nice pumps
I love everything Pam wears! She’s always very sophisticated. I would like to know where I can get the dress and necklace that Lorena wore in Hard-Hearted Hannah! Does anyone know? Has this been posted somewhere else, if so I wasn’t able to locate it?
she rather looks like a Barbie doll to me… like “Barbie! Now in Goth!” and “Barbie! She fries in the sun!”
She’s so elegant. I love the bracelet that you have in the picture (the gold one), her character always dresses the best.
I love Pam, I love her sarcasm and I love her style. She does know how to wear, her outfits are always the best of the series
I wish we could see more of her in Season 3.
“Which begs the question: just what would a vampire need to carry around with her?”
In Pam’s bags we would likely find: make-up, comb, jewelry, car keys, cell phone, and, oh yeah, wet-ones (for cleaning hands and face after feeding).
And those are GREAT pumps!
Tight black leather…so sexy.
