From her days on Baywatch, Pamela Anderson has been known for her dramatic makeup and bold fashion choices. In the 1990s, her dark eyeliner, glossy lips, and voluminous blonde hair became part of her image. Whether on the red carpet or in television appearances, her look was always loud and eye-catching. Over the years, she continued to wear body-hugging and striking makeup.
One of her most striking looks was in 2020 when she attended Paris Fashion Week in a bodycon mini dress that turned heads. However, her appearance now is a stark contrast to her looks at the event, this recent transformation is based on the actress’ decision to ditch makeup.
Pamela Anderson still looks stunning, even in a no-makeup look
In 2020 at the Paris Fashion Week, she paired the asymmetrical bodycon dress with a dramatic fascinator, as usual, she completed her dressing with her signature full-glam dramatic makeup, complete with dark eyeliner and red lipstick, making her almost unrecognizable compared to her natural, makeup-free appearance now. For someone who was rarely seen without makeup, her decision came as a shock to many.
Forward to 2025, Anderson has changed her approach to beauty and fashion. At the BAFTA Awards, she wore an off-the-shoulder white Jacquemus gown with ruched detailing and a flowing train. Unlike her 2020 appearance, this time she was wearing little to no makeup. Instead of relying on dramatic makeup for impact, she accessorized with Pandora Lab-Grown Diamonds. The actress now attends events and red carpets without makeup.
Why did Pamela Anderson stop wearing makeup?
Pamela Anderson’s decision to go without makeup began in 2023. After years of following a high-maintenance beauty routine, she chose to follow a simpler, more natural approach. She explained at the 2024 Gotham Film Awards that while she still loves makeup, it no longer feels necessary in her daily life. “I am much more comfortable in my own skin.”
