Pamela Anderson has been a Hollywood icon for so long that it's hard to believe she had never been to the Met Gala until this year, but she certainly made her debut an unforgettable one. Though Pam has famously gone makeup-free for the past several years, she made an exception for the event, keeping it a more natural look (and one that happened to be totally on theme, too). She stole the show!

Pamela looked stunning on the Met Gala carpet.
As People reported, she wore an Oscar de la Renta gown with a headpiece designed by Noel Stewart, accessorizing with Pandora jewelry, because she's a Pandora ambassador.
Her dreamy look seems to fit the event's theme of "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" perfectly.
This is the first time she's worn makeup in a long time.
And if she was going to go glam, she was going to go big, because her face was done by celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath, who showed off the finished product on her Instagram account. Still, Pam kept her look on the more natural side, which fit her more recent style perfectly.
She stopped wearing makeup in 2019.
As Pamela told Elle in a 2023 interview, after her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, died in 2019 after a battle with breast cancer, she stopped wearing makeup altogether.
"She was the best. And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup," she said.

She said not wearing makeup has been 'freeing' for her.
At a time when super glam looks are popular, she told Elle she even felt a "little rebellious."
"I think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And I’m kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror. I go, ‘Wow, this is really … what’s happening to me?’ It’s a journey," she said.
Hopefully, this won't be her last Met Gala.
After seeing the amazing look she pulled off this year, our fingers are crossed that Pam will attend in the years to come so we can see what else she might have up her sleeve. She's become such a part of fashion history herself, it only feels right for her to become a regular fixture at the event.
