In a stunning display of simplicity and familial connection, Pamela Anderson, 56, graced the red carpet of the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party with a precious companionâher grown-up son, Brandon Thomas Lee. The eventâknown for its dazzle and Tinseltown sheenâwas illuminated further by the presence of this mother-son duo, who were dressed impeccably, yet sparked conversations that went far beyond their choice of attire.
Pamela and Brandon quickly became the talk of the town, with public reactions forming a spectrum of opinions. While Brandon received universal praise for his suave looks, which echoed the charismatic legacy of his father, Tommy Lee, Pamelaâs choice to present herself in a natural, unadorned state sparked a flurry of mixed commentary, especially where her hairstyle was concerned.

âShe didnât even get her hair done?!â alerted one social media user, while another asserted, âItâs like sheâs purposely trying to look dowdy!â Someone else wrote, âI applaud her ânaturalâ lookâŠBut there are natural makeup productsâŠHair? Be polite, fix up [the] hair a little better?â
Some responses were more critical, highlighting the contrast between the âBarb Wireâ starâs iconic image and her current appearance. âShe has spent her whole career trying to be glamorous. To see her looking like this is shocking, to say the least. Sheâs ready to go shopping down at the Walmart,â expressed a user.

However, amidst the divided opinions on Pamelaâs look, there was a consensus on Brandonâs appeal, with admirers noting, âThey made handsome kids,â and gushing, âHer son is so handsome .â Many also marveled at the striking resemblance between Brandonâwho also shared pictures of the event on his Instagramâand Tommy, with comments like âBrandon looks a lot like his dad,â and âHe looks like [his] dad but a better-looking version.â

Though there were many comments expressing dislike for Pamelaâs choice to opt for a casual and less glammed-up look, her embrace of a more natural look is not a spur-of-the-moment decision but a reflection of her evolving perspective on beauty and self-presentation.
Additionally, people online have not been the only ones who wish Pamela would invest in a glam team as she admitted that her sons and agents have requested the same of her. However, in response, Pamela clarified, âI know how to put a dress on myself. I donât need someone buttoning up my blouse. I got this.â

Her statement illustrates her preference for simplicity over the orchestrated glamor that once defined her public image. This shift aligns with her desire to present herself authentically, challenging the expectations and norms that have long influenced her life in the spotlight.
Pamela Anderson has not been the only one to be open about reclaiming her narrative as Brandon has also shared insights into who his mom really is. While talking about the documentary he produced about Pamelaâs lifeââPamela, A Love StoryââBrandon disclosed, âShe isnât a creation. And now people know that sheâs just this nice, small town girl who wants to relax with her dogs and hang out in her garden.â

His portrayal of Pamela as âa great protector, and a great mom,â who ensured her presence in his life through contractual agreements that allowed her to attend his sports games, practices, and significant events, speaks volumes about her commitment and love as a mother.
Brandonâs insight further enriches the understanding of Pamela, not just as a public figure, but as a person whose priorities reflect her deep love for her family, which includes her other son, Dylan Jagger Lee.

Anderson said that in the past, she didnât have much input concerning how she looked and just went along with what other people told her to do. With the passing of her favorite makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, Anderson felt it would be best to stop wearing makeup.
Of her new look, which she said has been âfreeing, and fun, and a little rebelliousâ and embracing the change that comes with aging, Anderson divulged, âI think we all start looking a little funny when we get older. And Iâm kind of laughing at myself when I look at the mirror.â
Pamela Anderson ended her statement by expressing that she finds herself in a good place in her life. The journey of embracing her new look has been a happy one.
