Pamela Anderson, 57, Stuns Fans with a Glamorous Throwback Look
Pamela Anderson, 57, Returns to Her Full-Glam ’90s Makeup Look in a New Photo
Pamela Anderson’s recent comeback to cosmetics has gone viral on the internet. She has talked about how liberating her natural appearance has been, although she also enjoys wearing makeup occasionally.
Hollywood legend Pamela Anderson, 57, recently gave the public a dose of nostalgia with a new photo published by well-known makeup expert David Velasquez, departing from her no-makeup/minimal makeup style.
Anderson embodied the very spirit of her ’90s heyday, with a furious squint that harnesses classic allure and tousled blonde hair flowing over one eye.
Her glam makeup, which was skillfully applied by Velasquez and Tony Yanez, emphasized her remarkable bone structure with a sculpted contour, frosted lids, and severely lined eyes.
Echoing the seductive style that made her a cultural legend decades ago, the look was finished with a nude lip that had a somewhat matte feel.
With a humorous reference, Velasquez captioned the photo, taken by photographer Vijat Mohindra, “Rock n Roll like the 90s 🎸.” The subject was dressed in a figure-hugging white tank top and denim.
The allusion couldn’t have been more fitting—every aspect of Anderson’s hairstyle exuded unrepentant nostalgia, bringing back a time of beauty that she helped establish.
Soon after the picture was uploaded, fans poured into the comment area, many of them expressing their utter delight at Anderson’s return to her ultra-glam style.
One fan said, “OMG! She looks just like Pamela once more! One said, “Loveeeeee,” while another exclaimed, “She’s back! And beautiful! “With or without makeup!”
Many remarked on the striking change the makeup brought about. One Facebook user said, “Looks like completely [sic] different person!!”
“She looks much younger with makeup and longer hair,” said another onlooker. She doesn’t like her new short bob hairdo with wickedly short bangs. She always looked her best when wearing a more seductive outfit.
She received a lot of praise for her improved features, with one admirer saying, “Much better.” Makeup enhances her attractiveness rather than diminishes it. This picture is amazing [sic].
Another replied, “Looks so much better with it than without, 💯 better, as most women do, myself included.” However, not every response was criticism-free; one person said, “Looks great except eyebrows.”
“The world bullied Pamela back into wearing makeup and [sic] that is not okay,” however, was the opinion of one person.
Nonetheless, the replies as a whole demonstrated a strong appreciation for Anderson’s timeless beauty, with both devoted fans and fashion enthusiasts finding her glam comeback to be particularly moving.
At the 2025 Met Gala, Anderson reminded the world of her daring approach to beauty and style, while admirers celebrated her seductive comeback.
At the “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style” themed event, she dazzled on the red carpet in a silver-jeweled, textured gown that glistened like stardust in the light.
Her ultra-short, chopped bangs and trimmed blonde bob, which she has boldly embraced in recent appearances, framed her face with little to no makeup.
A glinting ear cuff offered a hint of edge, but a bright, natural radiance and few accessories highlighted a softer elegance.
Amid a sea of dramatic couture, Anderson’s modest charm and serene elegance provided a striking contrast that attracted attention.
Anderson showed off her bare-faced fearlessness at the 45th Annual New York Women In Film And Television Muse Awards on March 26, 2025, more than a month before she appeared at the Met Gala.
She exuded natural warmth on the red carpet while wearing a simple jacket and skirt in taupe tones that matched her gentle features.
Her hair fell carelessly over her shoulders, golden and subtly ruffled. A thin layer of lip gloss gave her otherwise makeup-free face a subtle hint of shine, even if her complexion didn’t seem to have any foundation or blush on it.
Anderson once again demonstrated that grace and confidence, rather than adornment, are the keys to elegance by grinning broadly for the cameras.
Anderson’s transformation has been both private and public. She talked candidly about how her legendary image wasn’t wholly her own in the early years of her career in an interview with Elle in 2023.
The actress clarified that at the time, she hardly ever took the initiative to steer the idea herself, instead just following the creative guidance that others gave her.
Her longtime makeup artist, the late Alexis Vogel, had influenced a lot of her unique style.
Anderson experienced an emotional change after Vogel tragically died of breast cancer, which ultimately caused her to relinquish the glitz that had once characterized her.
It felt different to wear cosmetics without her go-to artist by her side.
Anderson characterized the experience of abandoning makeup as freeing, even fun. She also acknowledged that it felt a little rebellious, a conscious decision to abandon the daring beauty trends that were ruling the scene.
“I did notice that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite what [sic] everyone’s doing,” said the actress.
She also addressed the reality of aging with candor and a dash of humor, saying that she sometimes gets caught off guard by how she looks.
Instead of avoiding it, though, she has gracefully accepted the change, referring to it as “a journey” that has been filled with joy. “I feel like I belong. I’m feeling fine. “I’m doing well,” she said.
While getting ready for Paris Fashion Week in 2023, Anderson spoke openly in an interview with Vogue France about her quiet moments of resolve and vulnerability.
She smiled and added, “I just got out of the bath,” adding that she had only used moisturizer and had left her hair air dry.
“I’m not into the makeup look right now,” Anderson clarified. The choice was instinctive rather than deliberate.
She pondered, “Something just kind of came over me,” “I was dressing in these beautiful clothes and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes.'”
Anderson remembered her mother’s advice: “At some point in your life, you’re not going to want to wear makeup on your skin.
” She acknowledged that she occasionally doubts herself, but she eventually pushes those concerns aside in favor of sincerity and self-confidence.
She sees skipping cosmetics as a form of liberation and revolt. She now views her function as a model of a range of choices rather than as a carrier of the conventional beauty standard as she continues her journey in the spotlight.
According to Anderson, “I’m just being me,” “I think I’m happiest I’ve ever been in my own skin.”
Anderson, however, is adamant that her voyage without makeup does not imply that she has given up makeup completely.
In December 2024, she told People, “I mean — I wear — I love to wear makeup too sometimes,” adding that there is a place and a time for it. It simply didn’t seem to make sense in my personal life.
She just reiterated that opinion earlier this month (May), making it clear that she’s “not opposed to makeup.” “I love glam,” she added. I adore everything about it.
I enjoy making up characters for movies or plays. For Pamela Anderson, it all comes down to intention—a decision based on sincerity rather than duty.
