Pamela Anderson brought a more dramatic beauty look to Vogue World 2026: Milano, stepping onto the red carpet in a Ferragamo ensemble as the fashion event took over Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II on September 22.
The appearance marked a notable departure from the fresh-faced approach Anderson has favored in recent years. Vogue reported that the actor wore black eyeliner along her bottom waterline, black eyeshadow and lashes to create a smoky eye, while a glossy pink lip provided contrast.
Pamela Anderson's Ferragamo Look
Vogue's best-dressed coverage identifies Anderson's red-carpet look simply as Pamela Anderson in Ferragamo, placing her among the celebrities featured in its roundup from the event.
E! provides the additional outfit details, describing the ensemble as a golden lamé maxi dress from Ferragamo. Anderson accessorized the dress with a large chain necklace, a bangle bracelet and a cocktail ring, according to the publication.
The metallic dress was paired with Anderson's platinum-blonde bob, which Vogue reports was styled in curled, Old Hollywood-inspired fashion. Vogue also noted that Anderson had recently returned to her signature platinum-blonde shade at the request of her son.
Together, the styling marked a clear return to a more defined evening beauty look while retaining the relatively natural complexion Anderson has embraced in recent years.
Vogue described her skin as either lightly made up or not made up at all, with her Sonsie skincare products maintaining the fresh-skin element associated with her recent appearances.

A More Dramatic Beauty Moment for Anderson
The makeup was particularly notable because of Anderson's well-documented decision to move away from elaborate makeup looks. In 2023, she attended Paris Fashion Week without makeup and told Vogue at the time, "I was making a statement."
At Vogue World in Milan, she did not return entirely to the heavily made-up aesthetic associated with some of her earlier public appearances. Instead, the makeup concentrated much of its definition around the eyes, with black liner, shadow and lashes contrasted against glossy pink lips and comparatively fresh skin.
E! similarly characterized the Milan appearance as one of the rarer occasions Anderson has worn more substantial makeup on a red carpet since 2023. Its report described the eye look as jet-black liner and gray eyeshadow, alongside light pink lipstick.
Inside Vogue World 2026: Milano
Anderson's appearance came as Vogue World arrived in Milan for its fifth edition. The event was held at the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II on September 22, coinciding with the first day of Milan Fashion Week.
Vogue described this year's presentation as a celebration of Italian craftsmanship and the relationship between human creativity and technology. The show was organized into five thematic acts: The Artisanal Revolution, The Industrial Revolution, Made in Italy, The Age of Intelligence and The Imagination Revolution.
The event brought together fashion houses, models, performers and celebrities in a presentation centered on Italian fashion history and its future. Vogue reported that historic Italian houses including Prada, Armani, Versace, Ferragamo and Gucci were invited to create one-of-a-kind pieces inspired by the event's creative theme.
The evening also had a philanthropic component, with Vogue World raising funds for the Quarto Oggiaro Library in northwestern Milan.
Against that backdrop, Anderson's Ferragamo appearance offered a distinctly glamorous interpretation of the Milan event while her makeup provided the clearest departure from the understated beauty approach she has embraced since 2023. Vogue subsequently included her Ferragamo look in its roundup of the event's best-dressed stars.
