The ever-inventive Pamela Anderson surprised the world on Tuesday evening as she stepped out with bold smoky eye makeup for the first time since her 2023 no-makeup declaration.
The mother of two was pictured at the Vogue World event, which took place in Milan. Her dramatic black eyeliner stole the show, as did her metallic gold Ferragamo gown and chunky Pandora statement necklace.

Pamela's 'Mirror' skin
Ahead of the appearance, the 59-year-old shared a video of herself, sporting zero makeup, caring for her visage. In the short film, which shows her illuminated skin with no enhancement at all, Pamela explained that her own Sonsie products had given her a 'Mirror Skin' sheen before legendary makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath worked on creating a 'Cleopatra Eye'.
The actress remarked that she was "convinced" that skin looks better "raw," free of any foundation or concealer.
Pamela told HELLO! in 2024: "A lot of my career was about physicality, and it's been a journey. But it's also been part of the reason why I've kind of done this experiment with myself; just to peel it all back, remember who I am, and not be defined by what people do to me, but defined by what I do."
Pamela's beauty brand, Sonsie
Pamela's skincare brand, Sonsie, is a vegan and cruelty-free company she acquired with her sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee in 2024.
Her positive philosophy behind the brand aligns with her wider approach to ageing. Earlier this year, Pamela expertly summed up her ethos, remarking: "Sonsie is the glow that comes from being comfortable in your own skin. To me, true beauty is about celebrating authenticity. I want to look like myself, feel like myself, and that means taking care of myself on my terms," she wrote on her website.
