Pamela Anderson astounded the 2024 Gotham Awards in a custom Oscar de la Renta gown, which is the same color as her hair, and a makeup-free look. The actor made a simple yet glamorous ensemble work without accessories and makeup, marking one of her bold fashion moments. Not only did she bare her natural skin and tones on the red carpet but she also accepted the Outstanding Lead Performance award for her role in “The Last Showgirl.” The annual event took place at the Cipriani Wall Street on December 2 in New York City and served as an unofficial kick-off to the awards season.

Photos from the 2024 Gotham Awards depict Pamela Anderson in a makeup-free look and rocking a custom-made Oscar de la Renta gown. Her butter-yellow outfit also completely matched her hair color, adding a hint of special flair to her overall ensemble. The luxury fashion brand posted a video on its official Instagram, describing Anderson’s strapless dress as a “double-faced satin gown in butter yellow, adorned with a bow” on the back that doubled as a trail. She paired the look with nothing but a pair of pointed-toe heels and her blonde hair.
At the event, the actor exclusively explained to PEOPLE that going makeup-free off the screen is about “being brave” in life. While strutting on the red carpet, she told the outlet that there is “a time and a place,” expressing she also loves “to wear makeup” on certain occasions. Anderson continued that wearing makeup “didn’t really make sense” in her personal life. The 57-year-old icon then concluded on the note that for her, beauty is all about “being brave and living your dreams” and that “it’s never too late.”
Pamela Anderson’s simple glam and makeup-free night at the 2024 Gotham Awards also marked a turning point for her professionally. She accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Performance owing to her role in “The Last Showgirl.” Anderson has previously rocked similar bare-face looks this year, including a basic look at the Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles last month. Furthermore, she wore a modest yet classic Elie Saab dress with a matching shawl at the Zurich Film Festival in October.
