Pamela Anderson dons hip-hugging skirt to honor her Last Showgirl director

Pamela Anderson donned a sophisticated all-black attire to attend the Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards, which were held at the Hollywood Athletic Club in Hollywood on Thursday.

The 57-year-old Baywatch alum – who ‘doesn’t have a stylist’ – tucked a white-collared blouse into a hip-hugging, flared maxi-skirt and pumps.

A closer look at Pamela’s understated ensemble revealed she was actually layering the silky top over a second red blouse.

Anderson had a fresh-faced look with defined pencil-thin brows, a bit of blush, and lipstick.

The Canadian-American beauty was at the ceremony presented by Variety in order to honor Francis Ford Coppola’s granddaughter Gia Coppola, who directed her in The Last Showgirl over an 18-day shoot.

‘Reigniting the flame in me. Saving my life. Forever grateful that she cast me as Shelley in The Last Showgirl.’

Anderson added: ‘Gia is the epitome of an actors director…I am proud to honor Gia Coppola tonight who is spearheading the next generation of filmmakers with kindness and style, storytelling with gentle unforgettable grace – so needed in this world.’

Usually, the awards show celebrates the visionary artists behind the scenes, but they made an exception for Ryan Reynolds this year.

The Canadian 48-year-old was being honored for co-writing the screenplay for ᴅᴇᴀᴅpool and Wolverine (which amᴀssed $1.3B at the box office) alongside Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and Shawn Levy.

Vamping it up on the black carpet was Elle Fanning, who took the plunge in a LBD with leather sleeves and slingback pumps selected by stylist Samantha McMillen.

Hairstylist Jenda Alcorn coiffed the 26-year-old Emmy nominee’s side-parted flaxen bob and her longtime make-up artist Erin Ayanian Monroe applied generous blush and a red pout.

In fact, hours later, Elle (born Mary) posted a PJ-clad selfie captioned: ‘Ready for bed but don’t want to take my makeup off!’

Fanning was at the Behind the Camera Awards to present costume designer Arianne Phillips with a trophy for her work in Searchlight Pictures’ fully-authorized Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown.

The former child star shared a pᴀssionate embrace with the 61-year-old former celebrity stylist, who had a jaunty white cape on the back of her black dress.

Elle portrays Sylvie Russo, a thinly-veiled version of the late artist Suze Rotolo, in the film hitting US theaters December 25 and UK theaters January 17.
