Pamela Anderson goes makeup-free at ᴅᴇᴀᴅline Contenders Film event amid buzz over The Last Showgirl

Pamela Anderson looked angelic in a long white shirt and pleated skirt as she attended ᴅᴇᴀᴅline Contenders in Los Angeles on Saturday.

The 57-year-old former Baywatch star punctuated the outfit with ɴuᴅᴇ, pointy-toe heels.

The mother-of-two, who stars in Gia Coppola’s upcoming drama The Last Showgirl, stuck to her makeup-free practice as she bared her freckled face.

Her signature blonde hair was parted down the middle as it fell freely down her back.

In The Last Showgirl, Anderson portrays a veteran showgirl who must sort her future when her show abruptly wraps after a 30 years.

The movie is slated for a January 10, 2025 release and earlier this week a first-look trailer captivated fans and prompted Oscar buzz.

It also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Brenda Song, Kiernan Shipka, among others. 

Anderson has sparked speculation that she will nag a Best Actress Academy Award nod for the role.

Meanwhile, Curtis’ performance was praised as a ‘force of nature’ by Variety critic Peter Debruge.

ᴅᴇᴀᴅline’s Pete Hammond said: ‘Anderson is remarkable in this role, which fits her own natural optimism but also gives her the chance to play her emotions laid bare. She will break your heart.’

The review continued, ‘I have always thought she was an underrated comedic actress, based especially on her short-lived 2005 sitcom Stacked, but the dramatic chops have not been there before, certainly not on this scale. And she is all-in here.’

Anderson last acted in the 2017 film adaptation of Baywatch, reprising her iconic role as CJ Parker.

In January 2023 she starred in her Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story and she also released her memoir Love, Pamela that month.

At the movie’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Pamela said she’s ‘been getting ready my whole life for this role.’

‘Having a beautiful, messy life is something incredible to draw from, and sometimes I’ll look back on my life and think, I could have done this differently, but you need the life experience to be able to look back and say those things,’ she reflected.

Per ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, Contenders Film: Los Angeles is ‘an annual daylong awards-season kickoff event’ that hosts ‘stars and talent of films competing for the top honors during the upcoming awards season.’

This year’s affair featured over 20 movies with actors and directors gathering for panels at the Director’s Guild of America.

Among the panelists was Kevin Costner, 69, who discussed his film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.

Lupita Nyong’o, Saoirse Ronan, Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton were also some of the famous faces at the gathering.
