Decades after she rose to fame in “Baywatch” with her signature red swimsuit, Pamela Anderson is returning to Hollywood.
The 57-year-old actress stunned onlookers at the recent premiere of her movie “The Last Showgirl” with her understated elegance. Some called her “carefree and happy,” but others said she was “covered up like a grandma” and blasted her for wearing a “frumpy” and “unflattering” floral outfit.
The Canadian-born actress adopted the “dumb blonde” character when she joined the “Baywatch” ensemble in 1993, saying in an interview with “People” that “then I have nothing to live up to.” I’m limited to surprising folks.
The former Playboy model has amused her fans with a number of unexpected moves over her long career, such as breast reductions and implants, five divorces, couch surfing at Wayne Gretzky’s house, and the now-famous honeymoon tape with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, the drummer for Mötley Crüe (1995 to 1998).
The once voluptuous blonde has changed dramatically and is now portraying herself as a natural beauty after years of keeping a busy schedule.
Anderson gave an explanation of her decision to forgo makeup in an interview with “Glamour,” saying she didn’t want to “chase youth.”
“I’ve simply applied makeup and experimented with it,” she said in an interview on September 30, 2024. “While I have nothing against cosmetics, I just thought that in my twenties, it looked better on me than it does today.
“When you’re in your 50s, you’ll come to a decision: will you pursue youth? Will I have a sad life? Or am I going to accept who I am? “She went on. It’s also a custom. Furthermore, it’s difficult to claim that you’re making an effort at all if you’re still smearing makeup on magazine covers and the red carpet.
The 57-year-old Anderson made the audacious decision to wear a floral dress on the red carpet at the San Sebastián Film Festival premiere of her new film, proving that she is no longer limited by the sex symbol image that has defined her for decades.
The drama “The Last Showgirl,” which is helmed by Gia Coppola, the granddaughter of renowned director Francis Ford Coppola, has cast the “Striperella” star in a major role.
The movie, which takes place in Las Vegas, stars Anderson as an experienced showgirl who, after learning that her show will be closing after 30 years, must face an uncertain future.
“Very Disturbing”
The animal rights activist wore a multicolored floral midi dress by Carolina Herrera to the film presentation, going makeup-free. The loose-fitting long-sleeved dress had pleats, buttoned cuffs, a bow at the base of the V-neckline, and practical side pockets.
The mother of two accessorized her ensemble with nude slingback heels with pointy toes.
The “V.I.P.” actress can pull off any look because to her acceptance of life’s simplicity and natural aging process. On social media, though, several followers criticized her choice of clothing, calling it “frumpy” and “unflattering” and saying it made her look like a “grandma.”
“This woman lacks style in general. One keyboard critic wrote, “Either she’s ordinary or, as she is now, invisible.” “It’s very unflattering on her; she has a beautiful body, and this dress does nothing for her,” commented another Facebook user.
Her “flower thing looks like a lumpy housecoat,” wrote a third critic, while another said they loved the Barb Wire star “but not like this.” 3. minutes are needed for makeup.
One admirer said, “Society is just accustomed to people with totally over-makeup,” in defense of Anderson. The woman is about sixty years old, has a natural glow, and appears to be in perfect condition. The standards of what a woman should look like nowadays are unhealthy!
On the “What the Frock” forum, the Home Improvement star garnered the admiration of internet fans. A commenter said, “I really admire Pamela Anderson’s acceptance of aging.” Due to her reputation as the sexiest lady of her era, she was the target of many prejudices. I recall that some people detested her and saw her merely as a hot-bodied, foolish blonde. “She is gorgeous and she is very sweet in her interviews; when I look at her, all I feel is loveliness, kindness, and femininity,” the user continued.
“I respect her so much for embracing her natural aging beauty,” said a second Redditor. I also never would have imagined that she would embrace getting older, but wow, major respect to her. She looks fantastic! Another commenter said, “This woman is a queen.” I adore how she is living her life according to her own terms, defying everyone’s expectations of her. I adore her (largely) bare face and the excitement and confidence with which she wears her garments. Love, love, love.
