Pamela Anderson continued her commitment to natural beauty, attending the 2025 Met Gala without makeup. The "Baywatch" icon, 57, graced the red carpet at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in a stunning ice-blue silk gown by Tory Burch. She was accompanied by her son, Brandon Thomas Lee, 28.
Anderson's makeup-free appearance was complemented by custom jewelry from Pandora, featuring 24 carats of lab-grown diamonds. The brand revealed these diamonds were repurposed from her 2024 Met Gala look, marking a sustainable and stylish choice. Her signature blonde hair was styled in a chic short bob with micro bangs.
The star's decision to embrace a natural look aligns with her previous statements. In a 2023 interview, Anderson explained she doesn't "want to compete with the clothes" at fashion events. She also shared her mother's advice about embracing makeup-free skin later in life.
"I'm not into the makeup look right now," Anderson said. "You kind of have to challenge beauty sometimes."
She hopes to inspire women to express themselves freely. "I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room," she added, emphasizing the "freedom" and "relief" she feels without makeup.
The 2025 Met Gala theme celebrated the cultural influence of Black menswear, specifically the concept of dandyism. The dress code was designed to inspire creative interpretation.
