Pamela Anderson Brings Back Her Iconic ’90s Look—And People Can’t Stop Talking

Pamela Anderson, known for her natural, makeup-free style in recent years, has surprised fans by showing up in full glam again—just like she used to in the 1990s.

The 57-year-old actress worked with makeup artist David Velasquez in Los Angeles to recreate the bold, classic look that made her a household name decades ago. The photos quickly caught attention online, sparking reactions from fans. Some were thrilled, saying, “Pam is back!” Others missed her more natural look but still praised her beauty.

In recent years, Pamela has embraced a more natural, bare-faced look at red carpet events and interviews. Moving away from the glamorous image of her Baywatch era, she sought to be seen in a new light—one that reflected depth and sincerity. This shift wasn’t just about style; it was deeply personal. After losing her close friend and longtime makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, to breast cancer in 2019, Pamela admitted that wearing makeup never felt the same again.

Pamela’s makeup-free appearance at Paris Fashion Week in 2023 ignited an international buzz.. In her candid interview with Vogue France, she shared, “I’m not here to be the prettiest person in the room—it’s about feeling free.”

Pamela admitted that while she enjoys wearing makeup for certain roles or photoshoots, she mostly sticks to a simple routine—maybe some blush or lip color now and then. To her, it’s all about experimenting and doing what feels right in the moment.

In an interview with Elle, she said ditching the makeup was “liberating, fun, and a little rebellious.” Pamela explained that as we age, everyone changes, and instead of fighting it, she’s choosing to laugh and enjoy the ride. “I look in the mirror and think, ‘Okay, this is happening.’ But I feel good. I’m in a really peaceful place.”

Pamela’s latest film, The Last Showgirl, signals a bold new direction in her career. The role earned her nominations at both the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards. At the 2025 Golden Globes, she embraced a minimal makeup look—one that drew praise for its fresh, confident vibe.

A source shared that she’s been getting support from women everywhere who admire her choice to embrace aging naturally. They added that Pamela’s goal wasn’t just about makeup—it was about leaving behind her old image and proving she has real talent as an actress.

And in case anyone wondered if a reunion with ex-husband Tommy Lee might be on the horizon, insiders say that’s not happening. Despite sharing two grown sons, Pamela is said to have no interest in looking back—only forward.
