Pamela Anderson’s Natural Look Sparks Controversy: “She Looks Like a Homeless Lady”

Pamela Anderson has always been a beauty icon, known for her blonde hair and undeniably glamorous style. But for her most recent red carpet appearances, the Baywatch star has opted for a completely natural look, with no makeup. This decision has caused a storm of controversy on social media: while many applaud her courage and authenticity, others have criticized her harshly, going so far as to cruelly compare her to a “homeless lady”. Why can such a seemingly simple gesture cause such a stir?

Her Most Recent Outfits: Worthy of “a Fairy” For Some, a Dress That Looks “Like Toilet Paper” For Others.

This year, Pamela has been a constant presence on the red carpet, attending several prestigious events, including the 2025 BAFTAs. At the ceremony, the 57-year-old actress appeared alone and surprised the audience with her signature no-makeup look, once again opting for natural beauty. For the occasion, she wore an elegant white dress that many compared to the classic style of Marilyn Monroe, reaffirming her ability to make an impact without the need for artifice.

Her choice, however, once again divided opinion: while some celebrated her for defying traditional Hollywood standards, others were quick to unleash merciless criticism, such as that her outfit “It’s giving toilet paper toga.”

Anderson continued her red carpet parade, this time at the SAG Awards 2025, where she was nominated for her role in “The Last Showgirl.” The actress opted for a completely natural look, dispensing with makeup and betting on her more relaxed hairstyle, something that caught the attention of many, who even praised her new cut.

However, as has happened on other occasions, destructive criticism soon followed. Instead of highlighting her elegance and authenticity, once again the actress was involved in cruel comments: “Oh, really? She couldn’t keep up her playgirl look anymore, so she suddenly dropped it for a completely natural, makeup-free appearance—like a ’let’s embrace aging, shall we?’ kind of thing. She was always just an average actress at best,” “She looks like a homeless lady in a Goodwill charity gown,” could be read in Instagram comments.

At the 2025 Golden Globes, Pamela was once again one of the great protagonists, as she was nominated in the category of Best Actress — Drama. This time, she surprised everyone with her choice of an absolutely stunning black dress, a radical change from her others red carpet appearances this year, where she had opted for lighter tones. Her hairstyle and her always charming smile only added to the sympathy, authenticity and charisma of the whole ensemble.

In addition, the actress was accompanied by her son from her relationship with the famous musician Tommy Lee, Brandon Thomas Lee, who, as on other occasions, proved to be a faithful companion to his mother at these high-profile events. However, the comments on social networks were not entirely kind. Although many celebrated her elegance, others did not hesitate to criticize her appearance: “It’s hilarious that everyone supports her for going without make up after 52 facial surgeries! I don’t get you people. Natural beauty is natural not after you’ve had had face sucked and lifted.”

The Real and Heartbreaking Reason Why Pamela Anderson Decided to Stop Wearing Makeup.

What many don’t know is that Pamela Anderson’s decision to stop wearing makeup wasn’t just an aesthetic choice, but came after a heartbreaking and painful experience. The transformation began after the death of her trusted makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, in 2019. Pamela shared that after her departure, she felt it was more appropriate to not wear makeup, describing the experience as liberating and somewhat rebellious.

When Personal Light Shines Brighter and Farther Than Criticism

But what began as a personal gesture has grown into something much bigger than herself. It has created a new image, a powerful and liberating image that deserves not only to be celebrated, but respected and valued. By embracing her natural beauty, Pamela has shown that being authentic is not only an act of courage, but also a statement of strength. This approach has been applauded by her fans, who admire the actress’ courage to face the unforgiving world of the spotlight and public judgment without a single layer of makeup to hide behind. In addition, celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis, who shared a makeup-free selfie in honor of Pamela, have highlighted her authenticity and ability to be an example of authenticity.

Despite destructive comments and criticism on social media, Pamela has remained steadfast in her decision to go makeup-free and focus on projects that highlight not only her talent, but her authenticity. Her professional accomplishments are proof that her inner light continues to shine, no matter the outside noise. She has proven that beyond the opinions, her true strength lies in being true to herself.

Pamela Anderson’s decision not only challenges Hollywood’s beauty standards, but also opens up a broader debate about aging and aesthetic pressures in the entertainment industry. And she’s not the only one making headlines lately: other celebrities have also challenged the norms with their image choices.
