Pamela Anderson Embraces Colour at Venice Film Festival

Despite Pamela Anderson being at the Venice Film Festival for her new film, Place to Be, the actress has also been making the most of her time in Venice with several appearances, including the amfAR Venezia gala, where she received the Award of Courage for her advocacy and charitable work.

And if there is one thread connecting her Venice wardrobe so far, it is colour. Pamela has moved from coral pink to vivid clementine and wisteria, with each look offering a different take on glamour.

Oscar de la Renta has become something of a go-to label for Pamela, and this coral-pink cape-effect gown makes it easy to understand why.

The colour is beautiful on her, but it is the cape that sells this for me. Draped across one shoulder and secured with an embellished floral brooch, it gives a relatively simple gown far more presence.

I also love seeing Pamela continue to embrace colour. Since changing her approach to red carpet beauty, her clothes have often done more of the talking, and a shade like this works beautifully with her bare-faced aesthetic.

Pamela turned the colour dial up considerably for the amfAR gala, wearing a custom Calvin Klein Collection clementine satin column dress with a matching floor-length shawl.

This is old Hollywood glamour through and through. Between the liquid satin, column silhouette, shawl and Pamela’s softly waved blonde hair, there is a touch of Veronica Lake about the overall mood.

My only issue is the length. Pamela is offsetting it with that S-shaped pose, but I have a feeling that if she stood completely straight, we would see just how much fabric is pooling at the hem.

Does it lessen the impact for me? Nope. I’m still blown away by this moment. The colour alone makes this a memorable Venice outing.

For Ellen Burstyn’s Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement presentation, Pamela switched to wisteria in a Carolina Herrera Resort 2027 cape top and column skirt.

What immediately strikes me is the commitment to the colour story. The cape, skirt and Carolina Herrera Violeta Consuelo leather clutch create three subtly different shades of wisteria, giving the monochromatic look enough variation to keep it interesting.

There is something wonderfully ’60s about this, particularly once the accessories enter the conversation. The tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses and cheetah-print pumps could easily have competed with such a soft palette, but instead they inject some personality and stop the look from feeling too precious.

Of the three, the Calvin Klein moment has the biggest impact, but I’m enjoying how Pamela is using colour throughout Venice.

With three strong colour moments already, I can’t wait to see what Pamela has planned for the Place to Be premiere on Wednesday.
