Pamela Anderson, 57, exhibits off new bangs as she goals for coveted Oscars nomination at Academy lunch in LA

Pamela Anderson turned heads as she flaunted a new hairstyle at the star-studded Academy Women’s Luncheon on Tuesday in Los Angeles

The Baywatch star, 57 – who recently garnered her first Golden Globe nomination for her performance in The Last Showgirl – joined other celebrities at the glitzy event, such as Ariana Grande and Selena Gomez

After learning of her nomination, Anderson notably shared an emotional reaction to People, and expressed that it is ‘never too late to dream.’

Pamela – who has seemingly set her sights on a coveted Oscars nomination – went makeup-free during the latest festivities. 

She donned a long-sleeved, white blouse as well as a pair of cream-colored, loose-fitting trousers that were made of tweed material. 

The actress additionally slipped into a pair of closed-toed pumps that had a black tip which offered a bit of color contrast to the ensemble.

Anderson’s blonde locks were parted in the middle, allowing her new bangs to gently fall onto her forehead. 

She easily carried a white, Chanel purse in her right hand to hold a few items she needed during the luncheon. 

Pamela opted to show off her natural, glowy skin as she paused for a brief photo session upon arriving to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. 

While talking to The Sunday Times last month in November, the actress got candid about opting to ditch makeup and admitted that she currently feels ‘more myself than ever.’

Last year in September, the actress first showcased her no makeup look while attending Paris Fashion Week. 

‘There’s these beautiful clothes. I’m wearing Vivienne Westwood. I have this great hat and beautiful coat. Nobody’s going to notice if I don’t wear any makeup,’ she explained to the outlet. 

‘I didn’t realize it was going to start all of this, all these people really relating to me. It’s a great message – we are good enough just the way we are. I have to remind myself of that every day.’

Pamela further reflected on fully being herself in the public eye and admitted, ‘Now I’m playing myself. Now I feel more myself than ever.’

Anderson’s latest outing comes just one day after it was revealed she received her first Golden Globe nomination for her role in The Last Showgirl. 

The star portrayed the character of a showgirl named Shelly – and was nominated in the Best Actress – Drama category.

Other nominees in the category include Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, Tilda Swinton and Fernanda Torres. 

The premise of The Last Showgirl follows: ‘A seasoned showgirl must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run,’ per an official IMDB synopsis.  

Alongside Pamela, other stars that were cast in the project included Kiernan Shipka, Jamie Lee Curtis, Brenda Song, Dave Bautista and Billie Lourd. 

Upon learning of the nomination, Anderson released a moving statement to People which read: ‘I share this beautiful nomination with The Last Showgirl family, my family, and my hard working companions on this interesting journey.’ 

‘It is never too late to dream, to start again, to stay open to possibilities – we are not all so lucky.’ ‘

She further continued, ‘I wish everyone my love and thanks while I navigate this new exciting chapter.’

The Last Showgirl also received a second Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song for Beautiful That Way – which was performed by Miley Cyrus. 

The film – which was directed by Gia Coppola – first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, and is set to officially release in the United States on December 14. 

Earlier this month, Pamela was nominated for Outstanding Lead Performance at the 2024 Gotham Awards. 

And last week, she also attended the Winter IndieWire Honors – where she won the Performance Award.   

Last month in November at Deadline’s Contenders event in L.A., Anderson discussed taking on the role of Shelly in the movie. 

‘It was such a relief to…be able to do a real film,’ she expressed. ‘I mean, this is the first script I ever read that was a good one.’

‘No one was giving me scripts like this…So I just poured everything I could into it because I thought, “What if this is the only film I ever get to do?”‘
