Pamela Anderson Revives Her Iconic ’90s Glam
Pamela Anderson is turning heads again with a stunning return to the glammed-up look that made her a global icon in the ’90s. Known for her bombshell blonde hair, bronzed skin, and bold eyeliner, the Baywatch star once defined an era — and now, she’s revisiting it.
After years of embracing a natural, makeup-free style, the 57-year-old surprised fans with a throwback transformation created by L.A. makeup artist David Velasquez. Sporting heavy liner, long lashes, and voluminous hair, Pamela channeled her vintage glamour in a photo Velasquez captioned, “Rock n Roll like the 90s.” Fans flooded social media with excitement, calling it a “blast from the past.”
Anderson’s no-makeup journey began after the 2019 death of her longtime makeup artist and friend Alexis Vogel. “Without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup,” she told Elle in 2023, describing the choice as “freedom” and “a release.”
Still, her return to glam sparked debate — much like her bold Met Gala look earlier this year, which drew both praise and criticism. Insiders say her simpler image was also part of shedding her Baywatch persona and being seen as a serious actor. That effort paid off: Anderson earned her first Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for The Last Showgirl.
Despite fan jokes about rekindling things with ex-husband Tommy Lee after his recent split, sources say Pamela isn’t looking back. Instead, her latest glow-up celebrates confidence, reinvention, and self-acceptance.
As one fan put it: “The best thing about being over 50 is not caring what people think.”
