Pamela Anderson is in the midst of a renaissance. First, there was her unexpected romance with Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson, which had the internet buzzing. Then, she tore up the beauty rulebook by embracing a no make-up era, showcasing her natural radiance. And just when we thought she couldn't serve us another cultural reset, her fashion choices are turning heads once again. Effortless and unapologetic, we can't get enough of the Pamela Anderson effect.
At the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in France, Anderson proved that elegance doesn’t have to be complicated. The 58-year-old actress was honoured with the Deauville Talent Award, a tribute to her enduring impact on the cultural landscape. To mark the occasion, America’s Baywatch bombshell stepped out in a chic black knitted ensemble that exuded understated glamour, a stylish reinvention of the bold looks she wore at the start of her career and honestly, we’re loving every version of her.

While Anderson wore it as a matching set, the jacket works just as well on its own. It’s like getting the best of both worlds, the look of a jacket with the comfort of a tee. The Milano-knit fabric keeps its shape but feels super soft, making it perfect for a chilly autumn day or layered up for winter.

The skirt is just as easy to wear. Made from a mix of organic cotton and merino wool, it’s soft but still holds its shape. The pull-on waistband and A-line cut make it flattering and comfortable.
Anderson wore a black knitted short-sleeve jacket paired with a matching midi skirt from British brand Me + Em. The brand has become a favourite among royals and A-listers alike for its versatile, sophisticated designs. Founded by Clare Hornby, Me+Em champions 'intelligent style for intelligent women.'
Keeping her look minimal, Anderson accessorised with black sunglasses and sleek pointed-toe heels. Her beauty was equally pared-back; she styled her bob in loose waves and sported a short, black cherry manicure. As she's grown older, Anderson has embraced a more minimalist approach to fashion, and this ensemble is a perfect example of that evolution.
The outfit oozed classic Hollywood glamour, channelling that iconic ‘Hitchcock Blonde’ vibe. But Anderson’s appearance at the Deauville American Film Festival was more than just a fashion moment; it was a masterclass in autumnal chic that we can all take notes from.
