Pamela Anderson seems done with living up to the male gaze.
The “Baywatch” star — whose ultra feminine and glammed-up appearance contributed to impossibly high beauty standards for women in the 1990s — made headlines in September when she decided to ditch her signature look and attend Paris Fashion Week without makeup.

In an interview with fashion and lifestyle outlet Highsnobiety that was published last week, the former Playboy model said that her decision to go makeup-free has been a part of her “healing experience” and noted that she now uses a “more natural” beauty routine. She also shared how the choice to get rid of her glam team made those closest to her, including her two sons, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger, nervous.
“My boys were like, ‘Mom, you must have a glam team,’” Anderson said. “And my agents were like, ‘You have to have a glam team! Where’s the stylist?’ I go, ‘I know how to put a dress on myself. I don’t need someone buttoning up my blouse. I got this.’ And they were just horrified.”

Anderson’s decision to nix the makeup has received praise.
Scarlett Johansson called Anderson’s makeup-free look at Paris Fashion Week “powerful,” while Jamie Lee Curtis said she was “so impressed and floored” by the “Home Improvement” actor’s “act of courage and rebellion.”
Elsewhere in her Highsnobiety interview, Anderson said that the look that made her famous was never authentic.
“I was actually always a tomboy growing up,” she said. “I never wanted to wear a dress. I was athletic. I made m&d pies.”
She also hinted as to why she initially embraced a style that wasn’t really hers.

“We all get roped into, ‘Oh, I want to be successful so I can have this and this, and show people that I’m cool, chic, admired,’” Anderson said. “And then we’re all just left with debt and a fancy car. It’s just like chasing age. You’re not going to win. A life is less conclusive than that.”

Day 7 of Paris Fashion Week street style was all about power clashing: The most memorable looks we spotted outside the shows featured a mix of bright patterns, prints and colors, skillfully combined for maximum impact.
Black-and-white stripes met polka dots and logomania tights in one outfit, while checkerboard gingham accompanied groovy flower-adorned trousers in another. Some may see chaos and lawlessness in these looks — and that's exactly what makes them so appealing.
Below, see all the best street style from day seven of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2024.
