Pamela Anderson has been making a quiet but powerful move. Ever since the actress stepped out makeup-free at Paris Fashion Week in 2023, she has chosen a journey of self-acceptance. Fans and fellow stars have also noticed her confidence in her natural self and are inspired to follow suit.
Now, nearly two years later, Pamela has surprised fans as she returns to the bold, ‘90s glamorous style that first made her famous. In a recent set of photos posted by a Los Angeles-based makeup artist, Pamela is seen wearing dramatic black eyeliner, nude lips, and voluminous lashes. She dressed casually in one image and was wrapped in a red designer robe in another.

This marks her first full-glam appearance in over two years. During that time, Pamela Anderson has chosen either a natural glow or no makeup at all, even on major red carpets like the Met Gala earlier this month. Her choice drew admiration from many, not just for what it represented but also for the freedom of redefining beauty on her terms.
Right now, wearing makeup feels less like a betrayal and more like progress in her self-acceptance. Pamela also spoke about aging as one of the reasons behind her new beauty choices. Having noticed that others were wearing full makeup, Pamela decided to “go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone’s doing,” she shared. Despite the unexpected processes that accompany aging, Pamela noted that she feels great about it.
Looking ahead
Pamela Anderson’s focus has shifted to her family and future. Her youngest son is recently engaged, and she is preparing for the joys of becoming a grandmother. In her recent memoir, Love, Pamela touched on those past relationships, the lessons learned, and the strength it took to walk away when it mattered most.
She does not seem concerned about her ex-husband, Tommy Lee’s reported split from Brittany Furlan. Pamela shares two sons with Tommy from their 1995 marriage and has acknowledged that her communication with him has faded recently. She admitted that revisiting her relationship with Tommy may be uncomfortable for his current wife. Still, she felt it was part of her healing journey.
