Pamela Anderson Confirms Makeup 'Doesn't Really Make Sense' for Her

Pamela Anderson made a notable entrance at the 2024 Gotham Film Awards in New York City, opting for an elegantly simple, makeup-free look. The 57-year-old former Baywatch star radiated confidence at Cipriani Wall Street on December 2, as she donned a strapless butter-yellow gown adorned with a large bow at the back, paired with minimal accessories and free-flowing hair. This is prepared by SSP.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Anderson reflected on her choice to forego makeup, noting that while she enjoys makeup at times, it doesn't align with her current personal lifestyle. "Makeup has a time and a place," Anderson explained. "In my personal life, it just didn't really make sense." She went on to emphasize that beauty should stem from courage and pursuing one's dreams, underscoring her belief that "it's never too late."

This appearance at the Gotham Film Awards is an extension of her recent preference for minimalistic styles. Anderson, who showcased her natural charm earlier at Paris Fashion Week without makeup, explained to Vogue France that she chose a bare faced look to let her outfit take the spotlight. This year, her wardrobe has featured monochromatic elegance, including the white silk ensemble she wore at the Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles and a soft pink Elie Saab creation at the Zurich Film Festival.

At the Gotham Film Awards, which commend outstanding achievements in film storytelling, Anderson received praise for her "transformative" performance in The Last Showgirl, a reflection of her commitment to her roles and her evolving personal style. Nominees in her category include Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, Saoirse Ronan, and Justice Smith.
