Pamela Anderson, 57, applauded as ‘stunning’ makeup-free appearance distracts Bafta viewers: ‘So graceful!’
Pamela Anderson has been showered with compliments after her appearance at the 2025 Bafta Awards, strutting the red carpet and presenting the Best Actor award.
The former Baywatch star, 57, continued her signature makeup-free look as she arrived at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday evening.
Anderson took to the red carpet and beamed for photographers despite missing out on a nomination for her role in The Last Showgirl.
The Hollywood icon paired her ethereal white gown with sling-back stilettos in matching white. She accessorised with a white satin clutch bag and elegant diamond droplet necklace.
Anderson styled her signature blonde locks loose for the prestigious ceremony.
The actress shared a warm embrace with her friend Fernanda Torres on the red carpet and later presented the Best Actor Bafta to The Brutalist star Adrian Brody.
Since 2019, Anderson has maintained her commitment to going makeup-free following the devastating loss of her close friend and long-time makeup artist, Alexis Vogel.
“Make-up has a time and a place. I just feel in my personal life, it just didn’t really make sense,” she told People Magazine.
Her commitment to the totally natural look was celebrated by viewers who described her as looking “absolutely stunning.”
“So much better without the heavy makeup,” one glowed on X.
Another called her a “beauty without make-up.”
“Loved Pamela Anderson with no make up. Her dress was also beautiful!” a third glowed.
“What a lovely woman Pamela Anderson is, not how I remember her. No make up, or glittery outfit, she came across so gracefully,” a fourth enthused.
Others agreed and added that they “love this for her”.
Anderson is hot off the heels of her performance in The Last Showgirl, where she portrayed a middle-aged showgirl facing the closure of her Las Vegas dance club.
The role marked the latest step in Anderson’s career resurgence, which began with her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in 2022.

The star’s return to the mainstream was also celebrated by fans on the night, with one declaring: “Pamela Anderson’s comeback has been amazing and so well deserved!!!!!!!!!!”
While the 57-year-old missed out on a Bafta nomination for The Last Showgirl, she has brushed aside any speculation about her disappointment.
Anderson also missed out on an Oscar nomination, to which she remained sanguine.
“Oh my gosh, it’s not something I ever expected. Doing the work is the win,” she told Elle magazine.
The former Baywatch star emphasised the importance of focussing on the craft rather than accolades.
“That’s what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season, but it’s nice to be recognised, and it’s all a bonus,” she added.
