Anderson confidently strutted through the rainy city streets, turning heads with her chic get-up, composed of an oversized white button-down top and a nude-colored miniskirt adorned with silver sparkly fringe details, French-tucked to perfection.

Pamela Anderson Steps Out For Another Stunning Makeup-Free Appearance In NYC
Paparazzi-snapped photographs obtained by The Daily Mail show Anderson as a vision of fresh-faced beauty, her untouched complexion shining bright as she made her way into French eatery La Mercerie on May 5th.
In a March interview with CR Fashion Book, Anderson shared her desire to "challenge" traditional beauty standards, making her latest au naturel outing all the more powerful. Shortly after attending this aforementioned party, Anderson also attended the Met Gala in an ethereal rosy pink Oscar de la Renta gown with a minimal makeup look.
For the highly anticipated soirée, the ever-so-stylish Baywatch alum sported subtle black liner, smokey eyeshadow, voluminous lashes, a tad of radiant blush on her high cheekbones and a glossy pink pout to match her frock.
This comes after she previously sat down for a makeup-free photoshoot with CR Fashion Book and talked about opting for less and less makeup and embracing her natural beauty for special events and appearances.
For the publication's Issue 24, Anderson was interviewed about her approach to beauty standards. The discussion focused on how she shifted her image and began attending major events like Paris Fashion Week shows last year without any makeup. Anderson shared her experience of "flipping the script" and challenging traditional beauty norms.
"I was doing it for the girls," Anderson told the outlet, regarding going makeup-free. "I just think, the social media world and the fantasy, especially in fashion and film, those places are escapism, but this everyday stuff… I felt like It's okay to just be," she added.
The V.I.P. actress went on: "And I just didn’t want to get into the whole glam thing and play the game. I just want to flip the script; I want to challenge beauty. But my agents and even my kids were like, “Mom, you can’t, you need the glam team!' And I said, no, what are you talking about? The fact that you guys are saying that to me makes me not want to do it more! I’m going to do a fresh face, no makeup, not pretend no-makeup.' And I just felt free. No one looked at me and went, 'Aggghhhh!'"
Anderson also noted that she didn't initially intend to "make a big statement" by going makeup-free at Fashion Week shows last year, but she was happy that fans were able to take away a "positive message" from her stripped-back appearances. The Stacked star pondered the impact of embracing her new lifestyle and how it has allowed her to cultivate a unique sense of chaos and unpredictability, or her "own kind of madness."
She dished to CR: "You have to have a sense of humor about yourself. Like I said, right now is a very good time for me, especially because I've kind of put it out there… I hardly have to get ready. It's like you spend half your life in a makeup chair in this industry."
Anderson continued, reflecting: "I have a lot of great friends who are makeup and hair and stylists and those are all important people in these dreams that we're all creating for magazines and movies, but for every day, you lose yourself. So, it's nice to challenge yourself and not fall into all that madness. I create my own kind of madness."
