Pamela Anderson attended Patis Fashion Week with no make-up and has revealed her tragic reason for going au naturel.

Anderson, who is renowned for her iconic full-glam looks, surprised fans and fashion enthusiasts alike at this year's Paris Fashion Week by showcasing her natural beauty. The actress and model has been turning heads with her makeup-free appearance and soft "no makeup makeup" looks.

One memorable moment was during her attendance at The Row runway show, where she confidently sported a completely makeup-free look, capturing the attention of paparazzi on the streets of Paris, as reported by Cosmopolitan.

But it wasn't just makeup-free moments that caught the eye of 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.

Behind Pamela's decision to embrace her natural beauty lies a touching and personal story.

In an interview with Elle, 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."

Pamela 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.

Her memoir - Love, Pamela - was released earlier this year, and it would appear that it has 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!"
