In an era where members of Hollywood glam squads are becoming bona fide beauty-lebrities themselves, Pamela Anderson is rebelliously defying expectations.
The author, actress and recent reality fixture thanks to her renovation series Pamela’s Garden Of Eden—a nod to her start as Tool Time girl on the sitcom Home Improvement—has frequently forgone the fanfare surrounding exhaustive beauty rituals for her public appearances.
While her contemporaries produce extensive behind-the-scenes ‘Get Ready With Me’ routines and partake in pre-event photoshoots documenting the glam process, Anderson has eschewed these modes entirely—entering a makeup-free and easy-going era as a result.
The latter was apparent on the red carpet of the British Fashion Council’s Fashion Awards.
Stepping out on the red carpet in London, Anderson continued her unconventional streak of baring her unfiltered complexion to paparazzi’s watchful lenses.
Without a drop of blurring foundation, filtering concealer or her signature 90s blowout, Anderson became the poster child of embracing your perfections and imperfections. A much-needed beauty lesson, and as Anderson is proving, one never too late to learn.
“I think it’s a self-acceptance time of my life; just peeling back the layers – it’s almost like a fresh slate,” Anderson described to the press about her ‘blank canvas’ approach to beauty.
It’s a strict departure from her days of barbed wire tattoos, up-dos tied by a G-string, oversized feather hats, red swimsuits and skin-tight latex dresses.
But after Anderson came forward with fresh revelations about her life and legacy in her 2022 memoir and documentary, changing the public’s perception and objecting the widely held misconceptions about who she was at her core, a reset appears to be the most pertinent course.
And the most authentic to who she is as a person. “I’m just keeping it simple,” Anderson continued. “I thought I was retired, but it hasn’t ended up that way. This is a whole new chapter.”
