Pamela Anderson turned 59 last week, and the beautiful star of The Last Showgirl has never looked more radiant and youthful.
Taking to Instagram to share a bank of dazzling pictures marking the big day, the blonde beauty penned: "Thank you for the beautiful birthday wishes… May all your dreams come true today, too. Love, P."
Each photo had an enchanting nature-driven backdrop, showing the actress relaxing on a sun-drenched break. Dressed down, she wore a series of white, linen looks and appeared carefree as she enjoyed a swim in the sea, taking in her surroundings.

In another, she sported a navy blue headband, pushing her hair away from her face - something the French icon was also known to do.

Pamela's mother-of-the-groom dress
It's been a busy week for the former Baywatch veteran. Not only did she celebrate her birthday, but she also watched her youngest son, Dylan Jagger Lee, marry interior designer Paula Bruss in Saint-Tropez.
In photos shared by Vogue, Pamela looked resplendent in a custom, mustard-toned maxi dress, which featured an ethereal lace overlay. The stunning ensemble was designed by Fernando Garcia for Oscar de la Renta, who also created the bride's wedding dress.
Continuing her famed natural beauty ethos, Pamela opted for a fresh-faced complexion, adding a swipe of nude lipstick and working her hair into a loose, messy updo. It was a reflection of Pamela's beauty evolution, from glamorous blonde bombshell in the '90s to choosing to go makeup-free at red carpets in 2023.
The icy tone of Pamela's hair was fresher than ever, with no traces of the undertones of her red tresses, which she debuted in 2025. This was at a special request from Dylan, who asked his mother if she could return to her trademark blonde roots for the big day, something she confirmed on the Today show.
