It is just that she has been there, done that in her younger years. That is why now, at 58, the actress is attending fashion shows and film premieres with a blissfully bare face. It is a look, especially for older women, that serves to plague and perplex. Do we chase youth – and relevancy – with a full face, or do we foster radiant skin and march on make-up-free? “I’m not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room,” Anderson told Vogue magazine ahead... https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3326521/going-make-free-pamela-anderson-why-more-women-are-choosing-bare-their-faces?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/fashion-beauty/article/3326521/going-make-free-pamela-anderson-why-more-women-are-choosing-bare-their-faces?utm_source=rss_feed Tue, 23 Sep 2025 09:15:07 +0000 James Marsh James Marsh 3.5/5 stars It has been more than three decades since Leslie Nielsen’s bumbling police detective last cracked a case, but now The Naked Gun returns, with Liam Neeson assuming the role of Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr in a belated sequel every bit as childish, ridiculous and laugh-out-loud funny as its predecessors.
