Pamela Anderson’s Old Hollywood Glam at the 2026 CFDA Awards

Pamela Anderson is staying true to her fresh-faced beauty, continuing her minimal makeup streak at the CFDA Awards on Monday night.

The “Last Showgirl” actress first announced in 2023 that she would no longer be getting glammed for high-profile appearances after her makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, passed away in 2019. Since, Anderson occasionally adds makeup elements to her beauty — such as wearing eye makeup designed by Pat McGrath in September — but tends to keep her beauty as simple as possible.

Anderson walked the red carpet at the American Museum of Natural History on Monday in a black halter dress with a feather-embellished neckline, paired with a white satin polka-dot clutch and feathery black heels.

The “Naked Gun” star styled her short platinum blond locks into a voluminous updo, sweeping her curls away from her face and pushed back at the crown of her head in an Old Hollywood-reminiscent bob. Hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg and assistant Michaella Garfinkel achieved Anderson’s bouffant-esque do, using Biolage products. WWD has reached out to Rozenberg and Garfinkel for comment.

Save for a little mascara and light pink blush, the only makeup that appeared to grace Anderson’s face was a glossy raspberry lip. Anderson likely did her own glam, possibly with the help of a few products from her skincare brand Sonsie, which she joined as cofounder and owner in January 2024.

The vegan, cruelty-free brand sells a range of hydrating and nourishing balms, creams and serums, and is slowly expanding its product offerings.

Earlier this month, Anderson spoke with WWD about Sonsie’s latest launch: a limited-edition line of lip balms, each shade and flavor inspired by the crops the 59-year-old multihyphenate grows in her own backyard.

In the same conversation, Anderson lent some insight into her bare-skin philosophy, telling WWD, “People are always going to have something to say. But if your skin looks good, you can do what you want. That’s the basis of everything: under makeup, or alone, or putting it all together. Skin care has given me the confidence to try little things, like I said. It’s not like I’m against makeup. I just feel like in my personal life, I prefer not to wear so much.”
