Pamela Anderson goes makeup-free at the 2024 Gotham Awards

The Last Showgirl actress stuns in a yellow gown at the 2024 Gotham Film Awards, embracing her natural beauty.

Pamela Anderson turned heads at the 2024 Gotham Film Awards on December 2, bringing her signature glow to the star-studded event in New York City. The 57-year-old actress, known for her role in Baywatch, attended the prestigious awards at Cipriani Wall Street, wearing a strapless butter yellow gown with a dramatic bow in the back.

The gown exuded simplicity and elegance, perfectly complementing Anderson's choice to keep accessories minimal. She opted for diamond studs and wore her long hair loose, showcasing her natural beauty. True to her current makeup-free lifestyle, Anderson went for a clean, fresh look, a choice she discussed with PEOPLE while walking the red carpet.

"I love to wear makeup too sometimes," Anderson shared, noting that makeup has a "time and a place." However, she emphasized that in her personal life, going without it feels more authentic.

For Anderson, beauty is about much more than appearance. She believes that true beauty comes from within, sharing that it’s about "being brave and living your dreams"—a powerful message that resonated at the awards.

The Last Showgirl star is nominated for her transformative role in the film, where she portrays a Las Vegas showgirl whose future is thrown into uncertainty after the abrupt closure of her decades-long show. Critics have praised Anderson’s performance, calling it "transformative."

The Gotham Awards, an annual celebration of excellence in film, has recognized some of the most influential voices in the entertainment industry, and Anderson is a standout nominee alongside other stars like Nicole Kidman and Saoirse Ronan.
