Pamela Anderson, the iconic Baywatch star and Canadian-American beauty, is making headlines again, and this time it’s not for her red swimsuit running down the beach. In the latest Proenza Schouler SS/24 campaign, Anderson continues to embrace her fresh-faced look and defies age, showcasing her timeless beauty. The luxury women’s fashion brand, established in 2002 by Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, couldn’t have chosen a more fitting muse to represent their collection.
In the campaign, Pamela Anderson appears ageless, with minimal makeup that accentuates her natural beauty. She graces the camera wearing the New York label’s stunning $1,790 ‘Lara Knit Dress’ in vibrant red. However, what’s truly remarkable is that it seems Anderson is wearing little to no makeup, except for a touch of lip gloss.
The decision to showcase Anderson’s natural beauty is not accidental. The 56-year-old actress and model has been an advocate for embracing one’s true self and challenging conventional standards of beauty. In a recent interview with Vogue France, she shаrеd her perspective, saying, “I’m not into the makeup look right now. My mom always told me, ‘At some point in your life, you’re not going to want to wear makeup on your skin.’ And she’s right.”
This isn’t the first time Pamela Anderson has boldly embraced her natural look. Last October, during Paris Fashion Week festivities, she proudly announced her decision to wear only her DIY rose oil on her alabaster complexion. This move reflects her commitment to authentic beauty and her desire to inspire others to embrace their natural selves.Behind the scenes of this stunning campaign, Anderson had the support of her trusted makeup artist, Cyndle Komarovski, who also worked with her for the Daily Front Row’s Fashion Media Awards in Manhattan on September 8, where she accepted the Style Icon Award. Cyndle’s minimalistic approach to makeup perfectly aligns with Anderson’s vision of beauty, allowing her natural radiance to shine through.
Hairstylist Karim Belghiran and nail artist Alicia Torello completed Anderson’s look for the Proenza Schouler campaign. They transformed her signature blonde mane, taking out some volume, and applied a classic red manicure, enhancing her timeless style. The entire look was curated by stylist Thistle Brown, who ensured Anderson’s effortless beauty was front and center.
In addition to her stunning appearance in the Proenza Schouler campaign, Pamela Anderson has been making waves in her career. She’s currently working on a cookbook, fulfilling a lifelong dream. “This has always been my dream to have a cooking show. Always, always, always,” Anderson shаrеd. “Brandon came to me and said, ‘Mom, your dream is going to come true.’ And now we are on Food Network Canada, which is even better because I am so insistent on doing Canadian projects and working with Canadian production companies.”Pamela’s Cooking With Love, her upcoming vegan cooking show, is set to premiere later this year on Food Network Canada.
Anderson’s passion for cooking and her commitment to a plant-based lifestyle have come together to create a show that promises to delight viewers with delicious and nutritious meals. Anderson expressed her excitement about the show, saying, “Michelin star chefs, James Beard Award winners, and all these incredible chefs from all over the world came to my little barn on the island, and we cooked the most amazing mind-blowing meals. I mean, my head just exploded every episode. I was so excited! I was likе a sponge, just soaking it all in!”
In addition to her flourishing career, Pamela Anderson is also a proud mother of two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee. Both of them showed their support for their mother’s Proenza Schouler campaign by Instastorying it with supportive emojis. Pamela welcomed these two talented young men during her three-year marriage to three-time Grammy nominee Tommy Lee, which ended in 1998.
As Pamela Anderson continues to inspire us with her beauty, authenticity, and resilience, it’s clear that age is just a number. Her timeless elegance and unwavering commitment to embracing her true self make her an icon for generations to come. In a world often obsessed with youth and superficial beauty, Pamela Anderson reminds us that the real essence of beauty lies in being confident in who we are.
‘Families don’t have to look the same’ – Black couple talks about their experience adopting three white children
Sadie and Jarvis Sampson tried for years to have a baby, using every method they could think of. They eventually accepted that they might only ever be an aunt and uncle. Then, one day, they got a text that changed their lives completely.
The couple had been trying to get pregnant since they got married in January 2018, but when it didn’t happen on its own, they tried everything else.
“We used ovulation tests, took prenatal vitamins, tracked cycles with apps, and used fertility monitors,” the Houston mom told Love What Matters.
“We even tried advice from friends, family, and strangers. For 14 months, we tried, prayed, and waited. Month after month, it was always a negative pregnancy test. It seemed like we might need help to conceive, so we even talked to doctors about it.”
Doctors didn’t offer much help to the couple. They mostly told Sadie to lose weight to improve her chances of getting pregnant. With no other advice, she had gastric surgery and lost 28 pounds.
Sadie’s OBGYN was excited about the weight loss and praised her for it.
“She told me that if I wasn’t pregnant within six months, she would refer me to a fertility specialist because she couldn’t prescribe fertility medication herself,” Sadie said. “I was thrilled! We finally got a positive step forward, even if it wasn’t immediate. We were excited about the progress.”
Unfortunately, the couple didn’t get pregnant after Sadie lost the weight, and they felt like they were back where they started.
“I always felt like I was meant to be a mother,” Sadie said. “Even though my surgeon warned me that I’d be very fertile after the surgery, I still wasn’t getting pregnant. So, we gave up and accepted that we might just be aunt and uncle to our nieces and godparents to our goddaughters.”
Just when the couple had decided to stop trying to have a baby, Sadie got a text from a friend asking if they would think about fostering a baby from a couple she knew.
At first, the couple was hesitant because they were told by a caseworker to take care of the baby while the birth mom was getting treatment. They worried they might get too attached. But then, the situation changed.
“The birth mom has decided she wants you to adopt the baby instead,” the caseworker said.
Sadie remembered saying, “‘Holy crap!!’ out loud when she found out she was going to be a mom.
“We went from having no kids to possibly fostering one, to suddenly being told, ‘You’re going to be parents!’ I was still in shock as I listened to the caseworker. I hung up and called my husband, shouting, ‘Babe!! They want us to adopt the baby! We’re going to be parents!’ He said, ‘Wait! REALLY?! I thought they just wanted us to foster him!’ I told him, ‘Nope! They want us to be his mom and dad.’”
The couple spent the weekend trying to take in the shocking news and getting ready, just in case the birth mom changed her mind.
By Monday, they were not only told that the birth mom still wanted them to adopt the baby, but she also wanted to do an independent adoption and was ready to sign the papers that day.
Their baby boy was born at just 33 weeks, which is seven weeks early. He weighed 4 lbs. 5 oz. “He was so tiny, he literally fit in one of my husband’s hands,” Sadie wrote.
“He was wrapped in a white blanket with pink and blue stripes,” Sadie said. “He had a small tube coming out of his nose because he couldn’t eat on his own since he was born early. But he was so cute!!!”
The couple shared their news on social media and were encouraged to create a registry. They listed 72 items, and within just three days, 55 of them were already bought for them.
Ezra Lee’s adoption was finalized in October 2020, and the couple had adorable family photos taken, all wearing t-shirts that said, “Families don’t have to match.”
In 2021, Sadie and Jarvis became parents to twin girls, Journee and Destinee, through embryo donation. True to their family motto, “Families don’t have to match,” the Black couple now has three white children – a boy and two girls.
For anyone who might judge their beautiful family, they have just one response: their family is built on the strongest foundation ever – love.
