Pamela Anderson’s ’90s Glam Comeback: Nostalgia, Authenticity, and Owning Her Look at 57

Pamela Anderson is turning back the clock—and turning heads—with a bold return to the glamorous style that made her a global icon in the 1990s.

For anyone who lived through the ’90s, it’s easy to remember how Pamela Anderson didn’t just appear on television—she helped define the era. With her signature blonde hair, sun-kissed glow, and dramatic eye makeup, she wasn’t only a star on Baywatch—she was a pop-culture moment. Whether you remember her running down the beach in slow motion or seeing her face on glossy magazine covers at the checkout, Pamela’s image seemed everywhere.

In recent years, Anderson has become widely known for embracing a more natural, makeup-free look—an unexpected shift that has drawn as much attention on red carpets as her glam years once did. That’s why fans were genuinely surprised when the 57-year-old Baywatch legend appeared in a full throwback makeover, channeling her iconic ’90s aesthetic in a way that felt like stepping straight into a time capsule.

Working with Los Angeles makeup artist David Velasquez, Pamela brought back the defining details of that era: bold eyeliner, dramatic lashes, and voluminous blonde hair. Velasquez shared the look on Instagram with the caption, “Rock n Roll like the 90s,” instantly sending fans into a frenzy.

Although Velasquez didn’t confirm exactly when the photo was taken, he previously did Anderson’s makeup for a shoot in 2022.

A stroll down memory lane

Wearing a red Versace robe, paired with charcoal-black eyeliner, overlined beige lipstick, and a dramatic set of false lashes, Anderson’s throwback look sparked a wave of social media reactions—ranging from pure nostalgia to outright disbelief.

“OMG! She looks like Pamela again! Loveeeeee,” one fan wrote.

Others praised Velasquez for reviving her signature glam, with one commenter saying, “a full face just to remind the girls who THE OG is!!!”

Another added, “She looked better natural although she looks great with makeup xxx.”
