Pamela Anderson is still grinning and bare-ing it.

On Monday night, the “Baywatch” alum, 57, arrived at the Gotham Awards 2024 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City once again rocking her now-signature fresh-faced look.

Anderson, who won an award for outstanding lead performance for her role in “The Last Showgirl,” spoke about wearing makeup in the film after leaving it mostly behind this past year.

“I mean .. I love to wear makeup too sometimes,” she told People on the red carpet. “It has a time and a place. I just feel in my personal life, it just didn’t really make sense.”

When asked what beauty means to her, she replied, “Being brave and living your dreams. It’s never too late.”

The mother of two chose a custom butter yellow Oscar de la Renta gown featuring a large bow on the back for the red carpet event.

Anderson styled the simple satin number with understated diamond stud earrings and coordinating pointy pumps, forgoing rings, bracelets, necklace or makeup for a totally bare moment.

The Love, Pamela: A Memoir author has been vocal about her decision to skip makeup.

“It wasn’t to make a political statement, I just wanted to have my little weird face sticking out of the top of those great clothes…why am I playing the game?” Anderson told Allure in February, referencing her viral makeup-free moment at Paris Fashion Week last year.

“And the funny thing was I would come back from the shows wearing all these clothes and a big funny hat and everything and there were all these paparazzi and then I went in one door and changed into my jeans and T-shirt and no makeup and walked out the door right through the same crowd that had been chasing me and no one noticed.”

In her latest movie, “The Last Showgirl,” Anderson plays Shelley, a veteran showgirl who must figure out her next move once her show closes after a 30-year run.

Hitting theaters on Jan. 10, the movie also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Kiernan Shipka, Brenda Song, Billie Lourd, and Dave Bautista.

Curtis has been super supportive of Anderson even before they became co-stars — and even celebrated her 66th birthday last week with a barefaced selfie in her honor.
