Pamela Anderson recently made a striking comeback to her iconic makeup style after several years of opting for a more natural look in magazine photoshoots and public events.
Since 2023, she had been embracing a less-is-more approach to feel at ease in her skin and defy traditional beauty norms. However, the 57-year-old film icon recently opted for a glamorous transformation.
A Los Angeles-based makeup artist, David Velasquez, shared an image showcasing the actress in a red Versace robe, with bold charcoal eyeliner, overlined beige lipstick, and a set of dramatic faux eyelashes.
‘Rock N Roll like the 90s,’ Velasquez, who previously did Anderson’s makeup for a 2022 Paper Magazine shoot, captioned the image.
Although it is unknown when the stunning snap was taken, fans of the Baywatch legend were quick to praise her blonde bombshell comeback.
‘I love her no makeup look but this feels like home,’ one fan commented.
Another gushed: ‘Wow! She looks even better than she did in the 90s! Sheesh!!’
‘pammy out here reminding us she can eat us all up with or without makeup,’ a third wrote underneath the post.
Others thanked Velasquez for giving Anderson ‘a full face just to remind the girls who THE OG is!!!’
Anderson is best known for starring on Baywatch for five seasons, from 1992 to 1997, as the iconic role of C.J. Parker, a stunning lifeguard.
Last year, she received critical acclaim for her 2024 drama The Last Showgirl and earned a Best Actress nomination at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards.
Earlier this year, a source told DailyMail.com that Pamela is delighted that she is ‘being applauded for her toned-down looks and recognized for her true talent.’
They said: ‘Pamela has gotten so much positive feedback from women all over the world for her natural glow up.
‘She has become an icon who is now known for baring her all-natural self.
‘While Pam recognizes that a little more make up would have gone fabulous with her gown, she also realizes that this is not true to who she is anymore.
‘To do herself up – whether at the awards or anywhere else for that matter – would make her not true to herself.’
The insider added that ‘part of her motivation’ to cut back on her glam was because she wanted to ‘strip away her Barbwire image and Baywatch personification’ – and be viewed ‘as a serious actor.’
‘When she went into this, part of her motivation was to strip away her Barbwire image and Baywatch personification. Shew wanted to be taken as a serious actor,’ they continued.
‘Pamela realized her true talent when she played Roxy Hart on Broadway. This was life changing for her.
‘Never in a million years did she think that she would have been nominated for an award like this.’
Another source close to the star confirmed that she ‘still wears light makeup from time to time’ and that she has not sworn off make-up forever, instead just changing her relationship with it.
Earlier this week, an insider revealed that the Baywatch icon is ‘focusing on herself, enjoying being single’ and not interested in any of the divorce rumors regarding her ex-husband Tommy Lee and his wife Brittany Furlan.
Just days after the Mötley Crüe drummer’s wife, 38, admitted they were navigating a ‘tough time’ in their relationship, a source insisted that his former spouse has ‘zero interest in revisiting the past.’
The insider went on to tell TMZ that the musician, 62, has ‘no shot’ with Anderson, whom he shares sons Brandon Thomas, 27, and Dylan Jagger, 26, now.
Lee and Furlan allegedly split after six years of marriage due to the rocker’s drinking problem.
While sources told TMZ, it was ‘unclear’ if a divorce filing was in the near future, Lee unfollowed Furlan on Instagram amid their ongoing drama and the content creator has been living in a hotel.
