Pamela Anderson attends the "The Last Showgirl" green carpet during the 20th Zurich Film Festival

Pamela Anderson continued promoting her latest film, ‘The Last Showgirl’ over the weekend, where she brought her distinct sense of style to the Zurich Film Festival, following her appearance at the San Sebastian Film Festival, opting for two elegant looks from Oscar de la Renta.

These choices are a testament to Pamela’s evolving red carpet narrative—one that is refreshingly different from the image that defined her career in the early days.

The last showgirl Premiere

Pamela, who was honoured with the Golden Eye Award, graced the red carpet in a custom Oscar de la Renta primrose faille dress. Featuring a pleated skirt, tonal shawl, and matching pumps, the look was classic and romantic, evoking the elegance of Old Hollywood. Though understated, it carried an undeniable air of prestige—a fitting choice for such a significant moment.

I imagine some will once again focus on her lack of makeup, but this no-makeup era is an intentional choice by Pamela. It’s partly a tribute to her late makeup artist Alexis Vogel, who passed away in 2019, and partly a conscious shift away from the oversexualized image that once defined her. In this current chapter, Pamela is embracing a pared-back aesthetic that resonates deeply with her personal journey.

This transformation extends to her wardrobe as well. Pamela’s recent red carpet appearances have featured more covered-up looks, intentionally steering away from the revealing ensembles of her past. She’s making her own rules now, ensuring she’s fully in control of her image—her beauty, her body, and her style.

If you felt the premiere look aged Pamela, then her second Oscar de la Renta outfit, a white asymmetrical top and trousered look from the Resort 2025 collection, might appeal more to you. It’s a modern, sleek design, featuring an asymmetrical single sleeve and luxurious fabric that gives a fresher, more contemporary feel.

Or maybe you think it’s more woolly mammoth than modern chic? Either way, Pamela Anderson is doing things her way, and that’s what makes this evolution worth celebrating.
