Recreate Pamela Anderson's graceful winter style with these 7 outfits
Ever since Pamela Anderson stepped back into the limelight — and our hearts — following Netflix's Pamela, A Love Story documentary, she's bestowed us with both her infectious positive outlook and a rich compendium of quiet luxury style inspiration.
Initially rising to fame during her bombshell beauty era of the Nineties and early Noughties, the actress has embraced a more minimalist approach to her beauty and fashion in recent years. Anderson was widely praised for stripping back her make-up and appearing bare-faced for her red carpet appearances, and she's followed a similar philosophy with her wardrobe.
The Last Showgirl star has embodied subtle elegance when dressing for the red carpet, from her latest self-styled Golden Globes attendance to her first ever Met Gala last year. Off the red carpet, Anderson has, perhaps unexpectedly for some, become a minimalist muse through her street style, opting for a pared-back approach to daily dressing. She often chooses classic pieces from brands such as Bottega Veneta, Tory Burch and Chanel, staying largely within a neutral colour palette of black, brown and navy in her day-to-day looks.
Below, we break down seven of Anderson's best winter looks, and the pieces you can shop to recreate her graceful style.
Cosy cream co-ords
Knitted loungewear and comfortable co-ords are winter staples, especially in January when lounging around your home is the preferable activity. But Anderson proved that a cosy two-piece is versatile enough to wear outside the house too, stepping out in a bouclé knit Chanel set consisting of a relaxed-fit cardigan and soft wide-leg trousers. To elevate any relaxed ensemble, take note from Anderson and pair with some classic neutral heels.

Layering black pieces never falls out of favour for winter, as Anderson demonstrated in the sophisticated Emilia Wickstead outfit she wore while out in New York. She styled a belted black tailored jacket over a sleek maxi dress which fell around her ankles, where she opted for sheer tights under a pair of patent heels to complement her cold-weather ensemble.

Tonal dressing
Anderson threw out the myth that black and blue can't be worn together once and for all when she wore this head-to-toe navy Bottega Veneta look, which she styled with a pair of the brand's sleek black Canalazzo heels and leather gloves. The actress demonstrated how playing with proportions can lend to an overall polished finish, pairing an asymmetric shirt with flowing wide-leg trousers, cinched at the waist with a slim brown belt. To that effect, she also threw a mid-length wool coat across her shoulders which complemented the blue shade of her outfit in a slightly darker hue.

The country set
The actress offered up more inspiration for two-piece styling when she attended a screening of The Last Showgirl wearing a speckled brown jacket and matching shorts from Tory Burch. With the addition of a pair of of long brown boots, the look was evocative of English heritage style, and had us half expecting Anderson to pull out a riding crop. Tweed jackets, knee-high boots and tailored trousers have a timeless appeal and come out of the wardrobe every winter, so buy well when it comes to these singular pieces and they'll remain a solid investment year after year.

Embellished jackets
Evening dressing in colder weather isn't always easy to suss out; how many layers will you need? Will you get too hot once inside? Which shoes will be practical for navigating slippery pavements? Anderson, however, seems to have the equation unlocked. Arriving at a Giorgio Armani fashion show, the actress slipped into an ivory silk shirt and black high-waisted velvet trousers, holding a blue satin clutch which picked up the shimmering blue detail in her silver jacket. Take inspiration from her look by opting for an opulent blazer or jacket with embellished detailing and carry any glitz through to your bag for an extra touch of luxury.

Winter whites
Monochromatic looks can deliver just as much of a statement as clashing patterns or colours, as proved by Anderson in this clean white co-ord. Ideal for lounging in the winter months, the look highlighted the simple refinement of a soft-knit top and flowing white trousers, with a cape-like scarf wrapped around her neck. In classic Anderson style, she finished the look with a pair of nude heels and oval tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Masculine tailoring
It's a universal truth that you can never go wrong with a good suit; the actress looked unimpeachably cool in a crisp white shirt, pinstripe blazer and trousers, which she wore under a slightly larger and more structured matching jacket. Though this outfit was perfectly in tune with the event at hand (Anderson was in attendance for The Row's fashion week show), its a look that reliably transcends seasons.
