Jamie Lee Curtis is honouring Pamela Anderson for going make-up free.
The ‘Halloween’ actress, who turned 66 last week, shared a barefaced picture on her social media to pay tribute to the 57-year-old former Baywatch star’s continuing fresh-faced look, which she has been sporting on red carpets since last year.
Jamie captioned her image: “Just out of the shower selfie. Honouring @pamelaanderson @lastshowgirl and her no make-up ownership of self.
“Sober. Strong. Steady on.”
Jamie was referring to her new film ‘The Last Showgirl’ in which she stars alongside Pamela.
The actress added about her look: “Just noticed that it looks like I have mascara on, which is clearly a remnant of my workday yesterday. Clearly, mommy didn’t wash her face very well.”
Jamie was one of Pamela’s cheerleaders when the former pin-up went viral for her fresh-faced look at Paris Fashion Week couture shows last year.
She said online it was an “act of courage and rebellion”, adding on Instagram: “THE NATURAL BEAUTY REVOLUTION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN.”
Jamie went on in her Instagram tribute to Pamela’s look: “@pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures, and and and, this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face.”
Pamela told last year how her decision to go fresh-faced was sparked by the passing of her make-up artist Alexis Vogel, who died in 2019 of breast cancer. She also decided to go “against the grain” by defying a trend for heavy make-up, saying the move felt “freeing, fun and a little rebellious”.
Pammy added to Vogue France after Paris Fashion Week: “Something just came over me and I was dressing in these beautiful clothes and and I thought, ‘I don’t want to compete with the clothes. I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room’.
“I feel like it’s just a freedom. It’s like a relief.”
