Pamela Anderson is switching up her style.
In a photo shared to Instagram Stories on Monday, April 14, the star, 58, sits on a stone wall overlooking crystal blue water with the Sydney Opera House behind her.
A departure from her breezy, minimal style, Anderson opted for a black T-shirt, high-waisted jeans and black sneakers. She accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses and wore her blonde hair in an effortless updo.
The Last Showgirl actress hasn't yet shared exactly what she's getting up to in Australia, but she's clearly taking some time to enjoy the views.
After rising to fame starring in TV and movies such as Baywatch, Home Improvement and Barb Wire, Anderson became known for her signature look, which featured voluminous blonde hair, pencil-thin eyebrows and smoky makeup.
While she's pivoted to a more minimal look in recent years, the star is aware of the strong interest in her '90s style, which she described in a 2023 interview with Elle as “wild and uninhibited.”
“I don't know if it was a defense mechanism or what,” she told the outlet. “I just thought, ‘I'm going to have fun.'”

Anderson also revealed that her aesthetic included “makeup from the day before, and a little bit of glitter from two nights before. The stuff that never leaves you! I'd be volunteering at the kids' school, and I would catch myself in a reflection, and I'd have glitter all over my face. Which doesn't make you a bad mom, just because you're covered in glitter.”
Anderson kicked off her newfound makeup-free lifestyle at Paris Fashion Week in September 2023.
“I didn't realize it was going to start all of this, all these people really relating to me,” she said of the response to her new look in a 2024 interview with The Sunday Times. “It's a great message — we are good enough just the way we are. I have to remind myself of that every day.”

Anderson also told the outlet about the separation between herself and her public persona that followed her in her early career, which was sparked by the image portrayed of her on Baywatch and in the tabloids with her ex Tommy Lee — with whom she shares sons Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 28 — and other former spouses.
She also shared that she is now comfortable showing her true self in public, as a mother and homebody who loves gardening and cooking.
“Now I'm playing myself. Now I feel more myself than ever,” said Anderson.
The star's beauty philosophy inspired the launch of her skincare line, Sonsie.
At a New York City event for the brand in October 2025, Anderson shared that she now has "so much more confidence" without makeup, adding, "It's a choice."
