BARE-FACED CHIC

Pamela Anderson has stripped away the makeup to embrace her natural looks - and she's quietly encouraging other women to do so too

BARE-FACED CHIC

HEAR her name and an image is bound to come to mind of high-cut bathing suits, long golden locks and sun-kissed skin, pouting pink lips and loads of mascara rimming her lashes.

Pamela Anderson has always been quite something – but the gorgeous beach babe who fuelled a thousand dreams in the ’90s is long gone. And in her place these days is a 56-year-old beauty who’s turning heads for a whole different reason.

Pamela’s recent outing at Paris Fashion Week became one of the main talking points during the annual gathering of the rich, the famous and the uber-stylish.

She glowed in a yellow dress but it wasn’t her outfit that had people talking – it was the fact she wasn’t wearing a stitch of makeup.

Veteran actress Jamie Lee Curtis was the first to praise her. “The natural beauty revolution has officially begun,” she says.

“In the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures and this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion.”

Actress Selma Blair raved about her look too. “Love this,” she says. “Beautiful self-assuredness.”

But for Pamela, the decision to go barefaced isn’t actually all that new – she’s been rethinking her need for enhancement since her beloved makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, died of breast cancer in 2019.

“She was the best,” Pamela recently told Elle. “And since then I just felt without Alexis it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”
