A red carpet has been associated not only with dramatic prom dresses, but also with radiant makeup, red lips and smoky eyes. Pamela Anderson, the iconic Baywatch star and cultural phenomenon, has been introducing a different concept for several years; She abandoned makeup and embraced her natural beauty. And it's not just the bare face, it's a statement of self-acceptance, a lot of confidence and a challenge to the rules of the fashion world.

"There's beauty in self-acceptance... I think challenging ourselves is what keeps us young and beautiful. And I think, really, really that beauty comes from within and you don't have to play the game," the 56-year-old told Today.com last month. She explained her decision as a way to embrace her "age of minimalism," and talked about feeling liberated from makeup layers, and finding beauty simply. "It's about self-acceptance," she said, "and loving yourself for who you are, wrinkles and everything."
Anderson explained in an interview that her makeup decisions began to change with the death of her makeup artist and best friend, Alexis Fogel, from breast cancer in 2019. She emphasized in the interview that her current perception of beauty is one of self-acceptance, and an unwillingness to conform to the expectations of others. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis praised Anderson for starting a "natural beauty revolution."
Passando uma poderosa e necessária mensagem, Pamela Anderson comparece sem maquiagem a mais um grande evento. A diva participou do The Fashion Awards 2023, em Londres, e, mais uma vez, dispensou a maquiagem.

Anderson wore a minimalist white ensemble designed by Victoria Beckham: a white coat, knitted top, wide trousers while she went makeup-free and added a messy ponytail for an effortless look.
The internet and the fashion world took notice. Headlines praised Anderson's choice as "brave" and "refreshing." There were also those who saw it as an act of protest, and a rejection of pressure to uphold unrealistic standards.
