PAMELA Anderson was ever the natural beauty as she posed in a very racy dress for a cover shoot.
The Baywatch legend looked incredible on set for the latest issue of Perfect Magazine.
The iconic actress and activist posed for a series of sultry snaps, fanning herself while draped across a bed.
In one shot, Pammy wears a bold red netted dress, revealing a beige leotard beneath.
Kneeling on the bed, she dramatically holds a fan as her hair is blown back in a seductive shot.
Another image features the Baywatch star in a flowing sheer black dress that leaves little to the imagination.
With her blond locks cascading down her shoulder, Pamela gazes directly into the camera.
For the magazine's cover, Pamela dons a fitted red dress, confidently kneeling with her hands placed behind her head.

The snaps - taken in London after the British Fashion Awards - reveal Pamela showing off her model plaudits.
Alongside the photos, the TV icon spoke about her trauma and returning to the Vancouver home where she grew up.
She told the magazine: "Like a moth to a flame, I needed to go home to the place it all started, full circle…
"I had some demons to face, some life to unravel, and history to look at from an adult point of view.

"It hasn’t been easy, but rewarding. The trees on my property have known me since birth.
"A vortex… it’s a place I always came home to refuel. I sink my toes in the ocean and breathe.
"My hair has grown a foot since I returned, like roots of a tree. I feel very connected… and in the right place."
The model and TV star has once again proven that age is just a number, looking breathtaking at 57.
She's got a busy year ahead, working on the upcoming Naked Gun reboot alongside co-star Liam Neeson.
And now she is hoping she will be known for being an Oscar winner, after she was tipped to land a first Academy nomination for her role in The Last Showgirl.
NEW CHAPTER
A proud Pamela has revealed what it would mean to win the gong, 33 years after she burst on to our TV screens in her tiny red swimsuit as lifeguard CJ Parker.
Pamela is playing the lead role in The Last Showgirl, which is directed by a member of the prominent filmmaking Coppola family - Gia, the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola, and niece of Sofia.
She said: “Gia was insistent that we were all going to see it together, and we’re going to see it on the big screen with an audience.
“And so all of us were in tears. She traumatised us.”
In the film, Pamela plays the lead role of Shelly, and she was so desperate to prove herself as a serious actress that she knew she had nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving the part her all.
She added: “My whole life has been like that — ‘What do I have to lose?’
“I am pretty fearless with that. I knew I was capable of more and I kind of was beating myself up when I went home — like, ‘I really screwed up’ or ‘I didn’t work hard enough’ or just events that had happened in my life.
“And then when this came along, I thought, ‘This is what that feeling is when an actor or an artist sees a project that they have to do’.
“It’s life or death — it was so important. And I remember calling Gia and I was selling myself to her and she’s like, ‘No. I want you to do it. That’s why I sent you the script’.
“And I’m like, ‘No, but I can do this. You know I can do it’.
“And she goes, ‘No, I know you can do it — relax!’ ”
Pamela adds: “When I read the script, I thought, ‘Put your head down. You’re going to work really hard. This might be the only movie you’re ever going to do and how do you want your legacy to be?’
“I wanted to work on my voice, I wanted to work on everything. So I just did the best I could, and I’m glad it’s been well received.”
Canadian-American star Pamela’s career spans three decades and includes the 1996 film Barb Wire and a stint on Broadway in 2022 playing Roxie Hart in the revival of Chicago.
She became an overnight modelling success in 1989 after a TV camera team picked her out in the crowd at a big US football game.
Pammy was then offered a photo shoot, and went on to become an international sex symbol, appearing on the cover of Playboy 13 times.
After minor acting roles her breakthrough came in 1992 when she was cast as CJ Parker in Baywatch.
