Pamela Anderson has taken to social media to ask fans to "accept me as I am" after she appeared au naturel at Paris Fashion Week.
The actress and model - famous for her iconic glamorous beauty - surprised fans and fashion enthusiasts alike with her makeup-free appearance and soft "no makeup makeup" looks.
One of the most unforgettable moments occurred during her attendance at The Row runway show, where she confidently flaunted a completely makeup-free look, capturing the attention of paparazzi on the streets of Paris, as reported by Cosmopolitan.
However, it wasn't just the makeup-free moments that captivated fashion enthusiasts. At the Isabel Marant show, Anderson exhibited a subtle makeup look that allowed her freckles to shine through. It appeared she wore only a touch of makeup, possibly tinted lashes, and brows.
Anderson also made a stunning appearance at the Proenza Schouler event, where she embraced makeup but still radiated a unique charm, giving a nod to the "Miss Quiet Luxury" herself, Sofia Richie-Grange.
The star has been rightfully applauded for her au naturel appearance and she has since taken to X (formerly Twitter) to explain that she's in a new chapter in her life.
"I'm in the phase of 'accept me as I am'," Anderson wrote. "The world feels new once again…"
But there's more to Pamela's decision to embrace her natural beauty than meets the eye.
In an exclusive interview with Elle, she disclosed the touching and personal story behind her transformation. She revealed that her shift away from her signature glam aesthetic was influenced by the passing of her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2019.
"She was the best," Anderson fondly recalled of Vogel. "And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup."
Anderson shared with the outlet that shedding her '90s persona felt "freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious," reflecting her innate desire to forge her own path and preserve her individuality.
This year also saw the release of her memoir, Love, Pamela, which appears to have given people a new perspective on the star.
"I get a lot of people walking up to me on the street, saying, ‘I had no idea who you were, and I’m sorry for all the ways I thought about you before because I like you now.’ I’m just like, ‘What did you think of me before?'" Anderson told Elle.
She continued: "You don’t really think about it in the moment. You’re raising two kids, you’re trying to survive, your heart is broken, you’re trying to fill up your life with people and making mistakes. We’re all just trying to live every day. So, I guess, decades got away from me. And it was nice to come home, full circle. I’m working more than ever, when I thought I was retired!"
I'm sure we are all in agreement that Anderson looks beautiful with and without make-up!
