Pamela Anderson is turning back the clock—and catching everyone’s eye—with a bold return to the glamorous style that made her a household name in the 1990s.
For anyone who lived through that era, Pamela wasn’t just a celebrity—she was the pop culture icon. With her signature platinum blonde hair, glowing tan, and smoky eye makeup, she didn’t just star in Baywatch—she was the show. Whether sprinting across the beach in slow motion or gracing magazine covers across the globe, Pamela was everywhere.

In recent years, she’s become just as well known for her makeup-free red carpet appearances, embracing a natural look that’s drawn admiration for its authenticity. That’s why fans were stunned when the 57-year-old stepped out in a striking transformation, echoing her signature ’90s glam.
Working with Los Angeles makeup artist David Velasquez, Pamela brought back the bold eyeliner, voluminous lashes, and her iconic tousled blonde hair. Velasquez shared a snapshot of the look on Instagram, captioning it: “Rock n Roll like the 90s” — and fans were instantly hooked.
Though he didn’t say when the photo was taken, Velasquez has previously worked with Anderson, including for a 2022 shoot.
A Nostalgic Moment
Wearing a red Versace robe, dramatic black liner, nude overlined lips, and bold lashes, Pamela’s throwback look lit up social media. Fans flooded the comments with reactions ranging from excitement to surprise.
“OMG! She looks like Pamela again! Loveeeeee,” one fan wrote.
Another chimed in: “A full face just to remind the girls who THE OG is!!!”

Some preferred her fresh-faced style but still appreciated the transformation. “She looked better natural although she looks great with makeup,” one user commented.
“I love her no-makeup look but this feels like home,” another fan added.
Still, not everyone was sold. “I loved her natural but each to their own,” one person remarked.
More Than Just Makeup
Pamela’s embrace of a bare-faced look in recent years has been deeply personal. In 2023, she revealed to Elle that she stopped wearing makeup after the death of her longtime friend and makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, who passed away from breast cancer in 2019.
“She was the best,” Pamela said. “And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”
She also spoke about her makeup-free journey during Paris Fashion Week, telling Vogue France: “I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room. I feel like it’s just freedom. It’s a release.”
Facing the Critics
Pamela’s candid take on aging and beauty has made her a refreshing voice for self-acceptance in Hollywood. Still, bold choices like her recent Met Gala appearance—where she drew comparisons to Joan of Arc—sparked mixed online reactions.
“I love her, but her stylist needs fired,” one commenter posted on Instagram.
Another said, “I get it. I love it. But I’d really like to see her with some eyebrows.”

Sources close to Anderson suggest her move away from the heavy glam wasn’t just emotional—it was intentional. “She wanted to strip away her Baywatch and Barb Wire image,” one insider told the Daily Mail, “and be taken seriously as an actress.”
A Career Renaissance
That pivot seems to be working. Pamela recently earned her first Golden Globe nomination and a SAG Award nod for her dramatic role in The Last Showgirl, marking a major milestone in her acting career.
Her beauty choices now reflect evolution, not just aesthetics. “I try a little blush sometimes, a little lip color,” she’s said. “But then I kind of go back to [natural].”
And the response has been overwhelmingly positive—especially from women who relate to her journey.
“The best thing about being over 50 is not caring what other people think,” one fan wrote. “It’s liberating! I love that she has the confidence to go without makeup if she feels like it.”
Rumors About Tommy Lee? Not So Fast
Pamela’s glam revival had some speculating about her personal life, particularly after her ex-husband Tommy Lee split from his wife Brittany Furlan. One commenter joked, “She heard Tommy Lee was single again.”
But a source told TMZ there’s no truth to any romance rumors. Pamela has no plans to revisit the past with the Mötley Crüe drummer, with whom she shares two sons, Brandon Thomas (27) and Dylan Jagger (26).
