And so, with the world\u2019s eyes watching, it\u2019s no surprise that the majority of A-lists are upping their glam team expenditures, and spending hours upon hours each day in the make-up chair ahead of yet another turn on the red carpet. If ever there\u2019s a time to be dressed up and dolled to the nines, it\u2019s now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n But one person bucking the trend \u2013 and single-handedly leading a beauty revolution in Hollywood in the process \u2013 is Pamela Anderson. Over the past few years, the former 90s pin-up and sex symbol has totally transformed before our eyes \u2013 swapping her maximalist approach to make-up and beauty for a far more natural, bare-faced look. In fact, she\u2019s ditched make-up entirely \u2013 and, at 57, is looking fresher than ever for it. But that hasn\u2019t stopped some harsh criticism being thrown at the former Baywatch star along the way, and her appearance at last week\u2019s SAG awards was sadly no exception.<\/span><\/p>\n Rocking up to the awards show \u2013 where she was nominated for Best Actress for her role in The Last Showgirl \u2013 Pam stuck true to her guns with an au naturel face that seemed to totally eschew any make-up, just like she\u2019s done on countless red carpets over the past few years. Throughout this time, she\u2019s been praised and applauded for her \u201cbravery\u201d and natural beauty; but, unfortunately, some corners of the internet weren\u2019t feeling quite so impressed this time around, despite the fact that the actress was still dressed up in a one-shoulder, Christian Dior gown, and had her hair coiffed perfectly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/imago746592152-scaled.jpg” alt=”Pamela Anderson” title_text=”Pamela Anderson” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Wearing make-up back in 2015<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u201cAnyone else think this girl is working too hard these days and needs a vacation?\u201d one fan posted on X, while another weighed in, \u201cPam needs a nap.\u201d A third added, \u201cIn all her photo ops recently she is wearing no or next to no make-up. I am not saying you should or shouldn\u2019t, but when you have spent $1000 on a dress and hair, add a little bit of make-up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Across social media, there were further comments that said the star looked \u201cexhausted,\u201d with another commenter pointing out that Pam had just got off a flight the previous day following a work trip to Paris. \u201cTravelling a lot, staying in hotel rooms, going to this ceremony and that ceremony would catch up with anybody,\u201d they wrote. \u201cShe needs to rest at home – still a beauty though.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Thankfully, while Pamela, who has two grown-up sons, Brandon, 28, and Dylan, 27, has acknowledged that she used to be insecure and take people\u2019s criticism to heart, she now no longer lets the negativity get to her \u2013 especially when she\u2019s winning even more plaudits in the process. Her no make-up approach to beauty has seemingly coincided with her resurgence in the public eye, which has led to her winning more public acclaim for her acting and activism work, and more respect in Hollywood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/imago54263614-scaled.jpg” alt=”Pamela Anderson in Baywatch” title_text=”Pamela Anderson in Baywatch” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n She got her big break in Baywatch<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Having risen to fame as a Playboy pin-up and Baywatch\u2019s sexiest star, Pamela found notoriety in 1995 when her private sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee was stolen and leaked to the public. She duly became synonymous with X-rated glamour and sexiness. But, after taking a big break from the public eye, she reinvented herself in 2022 with a critically-lauded turn on Broadway as Roxie Hart in Chicago. Since then, she\u2019s been in the throes of what many have called a \u201cPam-aissance\u201d \u2013 starring in her Netflix documentary\u00a0Pamela, A Love Story\u00a0in 2023, and also releasing her autobiography,\u00a0Love, Pamela,\u00a0that same year. Her recent role in\u00a0The Last Showgirl,\u00a0in which she plays a middle-aged Las Vegas showgirl grappling with the end of her career, has, ironically, sent Pam\u2019s career soaring to higher heights. She may have lost out on last week\u2019s SAG award to Demi Moore, but it\u2019s safe to say that Pamela is very much in her winning era.<\/span><\/p>\n All this has come, simultaneously, while she\u2019s totally embraced a dramatic make-under. Formerly recognisable for her trademark made-up face, pencilled eyebrows and big lips, Pam first shocked the world in 2023 when she went make-up free for Paris Fashion Week. Since then, she\u2019s very rarely painted her face (and in those moments has only plumped for a touch of concealer or mascara). Some disparaging comments may say she looks tired but, in her late 50s, general consensus is that Pamela looks happier in her skin than ever. She\u2019s also opened up on her decision to go make-up free \u2013 revealing there are poignant reasons behind her choice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking to Elle last year, she revealed that everything changed after her make-up artist, Alexis Vogel, passed away from breast cancer in 2019. \u201c[Alexis] was the best,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it\u2019s just better for me not to wear make-up.\u201d She explained that her decision to do so had been \u201cfreeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too\u201d after wearing so much make-up in the past because she \u201cjust went along with what people were telling me what to do\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She also reflecting on ageing, adding, \u201cI think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And I\u2019m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, \u2018Wow, this is really\u2026what\u2019s happening to me?\u2019 It\u2019s a journey. I feel rooted for. I feel good. I\u2019m in a good place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As for her bare skin on the red carpet shocking fans last week, it\u2019s clear that Pam isn\u2019t going to let a little negativity get in her way \u2013 especially not when she\u2019s drowning out the hate with even more acclaim and praise. One commenter disputed the \u201cshocking\u201d image of the star, arguing, \u201cGod forbid a woman not wear makeup or put out a filtered picture because we look tired. Nonsense! And that\u2019s why I love Pamela Anderson. Because she just doesn\u2019t give a s**t!\u201d Another added, \u201cI\u2019m a huge fan and I\u2019m not shocked! She looks lovely and seems to be absolutely thriving in life! Go Pam!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aboreto|||on|||||”
