Pamela Anderson, the iconic ’90s star, embraced a chic yet understated look at the Kering Foundation’s Caring for Women event on Thursday, September 10. She wore a sleek black dress featuring a dramatic thigh-high slit, complemented by her signature loose, natural waves.
This appearance adds to a year filled with meaningful personal milestones for Anderson, including a family wedding and a new engagement. At 59, she continues to redefine her approach to beauty, moving away from the glamor of her “Baywatch” days-known for platinum-blonde hair, bold makeup, and that famous red swimsuit-toward a more natural and refined style.
Earlier this year, Anderson made headlines by attending Paris Fashion Week makeup-free, a spontaneous choice she described as liberating. “I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes,’” she told Vogue France.
“I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room. It’s just a freedom.
It’s like a relief.”
Still, Anderson emphasizes that her natural look is a personal choice rather than a strict rule. “I’m on the cover of Vogue.
Yes, put makeup on me, and just have a little fun,” she said. Her recent red-carpet appearance balanced polished elegance with the pared-back beauty style she now favors.
This summer was particularly eventful for Anderson. She celebrated her 59th birthday in Saint-Tropez, enjoying a swimsuit getaway before staying on for her younger son Dylan Jagger Lee’s wedding.
The ceremony reunited her with ex-husband Tommy Lee and their eldest son, Brandon Thomas Lee. For the occasion, Anderson wore a sheer yellow lace Oscar de la Renta gown designed by Fernando Garcia.
Just weeks later, it was announced that her older son Brandon got engaged to Katarina Demetriades during a trip to Indonesia. Anderson shared a heartfelt message congratulating the couple: “I’m so happy for you angels.
You are a beautiful match. Now the adventure begins.
May the force be with you. All my love, Mom ❤️.”
Beyond these joyous moments, Anderson recently opened up about a challenging chapter in her life. Diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late 1990s, she recalled the shock of being told she had roughly 10 years to live.
“It was a death sentence,” she said at the amfAR Gala in Venice on September 6. Concern for her young sons profoundly affected her perspective at the time.
“It wasn’t fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out.”
Today, Pamela Anderson’s story is one of resilience and renewal-marked by family celebrations, career highlights, and the freedom to embrace her authentic self on her own terms.
