Pamela Anderson dazzled at her first Met Gala, making it an unforgettable event. The actress graced the red carpet in New York on Monday, showcasing a look that perfectly encapsulated her essence—combining both glamour and eco-consciousness.
As a Pandora ambassador, Anderson shone in nearly 200 carats of the brand’s lab-grown white and pink diamonds, featuring a variety of cuts and sizes. The necklace draped elegantly around her neck and shoulder, serving as a bold accessory that beautifully complemented her crinkle chiffon Oscar de la Renta gown, designed by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. The fawn-colored dress featured a hand-pleated corseted bodice, transforming Anderson into a “fairy in the forest,” according to Garcia. Her look was completed with makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Orlando Pita.
Anderson expressed her joy in embracing beauty and fashion on her own terms with Pandora’s custom-made pieces. She highlighted the allure of sustainable style, noting the opulence of being adorned in diamonds that are also environmentally friendly.
Pandora’s creative directors, A. Filippo Ficarelli and Francesco Terzo, celebrated the brand’s innovation and the significance of lab-grown diamonds on the red carpet. They were thrilled to contribute to Anderson’s Met Gala debut with bespoke pieces that captured her natural radiance.
The Danish jeweler has introduced two limited-edition 1 carat pink diamond necklaces, retailing for $2,290 each, available in select stores and online. Pandora’s lab-grown diamonds boast a carbon footprint 95% smaller than mined diamonds and are produced using 100% renewable energy.
In August of last year, Anderson became the face of Pandora’s “Diamonds for All” campaign, marking the brand’s expansion into lab-grown diamonds with new collections. She was joined by other notable figures such as Justina Miles, Grace Coddington, Amita Suman, Sherry Shi, and Vinson Fraley in the campaign.
The Met Gala serves as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and celebrates the Costume Institute’s annual exhibits. The 2024 theme, “The Garden of Time,” aligns with the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit set to open to the public on Friday. This year’s event is co-chaired by celebrities including Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
