Pamela Anderson, the real reason why she no longer wears makeup (not even for Paris Fashion Week)

Pamela Anderson has entered a new era that showcases her natural beauty without makeup after years of hyper-constructed looks thanks to makeup.

During Paris Fashion Week she was spotted several times with free make-up, one of the latest was with Christina Hendricks for Andreas Kronthaler’s dinner for Vivienne Westwood. The Baywatch star, 56, who wore a quirky coat and stylish hat showed off her new sense of style at the event held at Restaurant Au Passage. The star was seen wearing an oversized gray double-breasted jacket made from felted cashmere material.

This is not Pamela’s first appearance in Paris with her newfound identity without a lick of makeup. The former Baywatch lifeguard has totally changed her style. Without makeup she was in the front row at the Isabelle Marant, Proenza Schouler, The Row and obviously Vivienne Westwood fashion shows.

A powerful turning point in her image that attracted the attention of many, including her colleagues, including Jamie Lee Curtis who celebrated her on her Instagram profile and wrote: «The Natural Beauty Revolution has Officially Begun! @pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so much pressure and posture and so on, this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so shocked and shocked by this act of courage and rebellion.”

Why Pamela Anderson has decided not to wear makeup anymore

The decision was more than just an aesthetic choice. In an interview with Ellethe actress and model explained that she ditched her signature ’90s glam style in favor of a fresh, natural look, in tribute to the late, great Alexis Vogel, her longtime makeup artist who died of breast cancer in 2019 .

“She was the best,” Anderson said of her friend Vogel, “and ever since then I’ve felt that without Alexis it’s better for me not to wear makeup.”

Not wearing makeup has been “liberating, fun and even a little rebellious” for Pamela Anderson, 56, who has spent most of her career playing the role of sex bomb. When she was younger, Anderson admitted, her decisions were often made simply by “going along with what people told me to do.”

“I noticed that there were all these people wearing big makeup, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone else is doing,” she said. “I think we all start to look a little weird as we get older,” she added, “and I laugh at myself when I look in the mirror. I say to myself, ‘Wow, this is really… what’s happening to me?’ It’s a journey.”

Pamela Anderson giving Baywatch in recent years she has carved out a role for herself as a misunderstood icon of the nineties thanks to the documentary, Pamela, A Love Storyto his autobiographical book, Love, Pamela, earlier this year, he already has a new project planned: a novel that he described as “very romantic and sexy and traumatic and funny.” Her new identity? She described it herself. «If I don’t write, I know I’m not in a good place. If I write, I’m in my body. I’m where I’m supposed to be.”
