Pamela Anderson has proven that she doesn't need makeup to turn heads and radiate a room.

The social media realms are abuzz with praises for the Baywatch icon, as she radiantly embraced a natural, makeup-free look amidst the shimmering elegance of Paris Fashion Week.

The 56-year-old actress and activist has been a fervent advocate for natural beauty, sharing her journey and encouraging women to embrace their authentic selves.

Pamela Anderson’s radiant appearance at the Isabel Marant Womenswear Spring/Summer 2024 show was highlighted by her bright yellow, ankle-length dress, making a bold statement for keeping vibrant colors alive as autumn approaches. However, it is her decision to go makeup-free that has garnered widespread attention and admiration online.

In a candid conversation with Elle Magazine in August, Pamela revealed the poignant reason behind her decision to abandon her signature glamorous looks. The loss of her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, to breast cancer marked a pivotal moment in her perception of beauty.

"She was the best," Pamela reminisced, expressing that without Alexis, wearing makeup didn't feel right to her.

This transition to a more natural and authentic appearance has been "freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too," as Pamela described.

She's been using her platform to encourage other women to embrace their natural beauty and the inevitable aging process with grace and humor. “I think we all start looking a little funny when we get older," she said. "And I’m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror."

And after images of Anderson were circulated on social media, people couldn't help but praise the Baywatch alum for showcasing a more natural look.

"Go Pamela! She’s 56 and embracing her natural beauty. I highly recommend people watch the documentary about her and read her book," one fan wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). A second added: "So glad to see someone embracing ageing gracefully".

"Authenticity. This is the way forward," a third added. Excess surgery and filters are boring and make everyone - EVERYONE - look the same. Pamela looks naturally pretty here... and like herself."

Responding to the love on X, Anderson wrote on Sunday: "I'm in the phase of 'accept me as I am'. The world feels new once again".

Changing her personal brand and opting for a more natural aesthetic has been a rebellious journey, but one that has led Pamela to “a good place.” This inspiring shift was evident as Pamela rocked her fresh-faced looks at other notable fashion events recently, including The Row’s runway show at Paris Fashion Week and the Proenza Schouler show at New York Fashion Week last month.

Who would have thought that in the dazzling spectacle of Paris Fashion Week, is would have been Pamela Anderson standing out due to her natural beauty? Keep it up, Pamela!
