Accustomed to chic long dresses, Pamela Anderson recently surprised everyone. In Berlin, the Canadian-American actress and model proved that a short dress could gain sophistication thanks to a simple - but powerful - detail.
A notable appearance at the Berlin Film Festival
Pamela Anderson recently graced the red carpet at the 76th Berlin International Film Festival. There to present the thriller "Rosebush Pruning" alongside American actress Elle Fanning and British actor Callum Turner, the actress opted for a look decidedly different from her usual style. Known for her ball gowns and chic silhouettes, the "Baywatch" star chose a more structured and contemporary piece this time.
The cape that changes everything
For this premiere, Pamela Anderson wore a creation by Carolina Herrera: a short cape worn like a dress, adorned with floral motifs embroidered with shimmering thread. It is precisely this cape-like cut that transforms the short dress into a couture piece. The structure adds volume and movement, while maintaining a certain restraint. The black trim at the edges created a graphic contrast, reinforced by black tights and matching pumps. This play on proportions—short length but enveloping silhouette—gave her a controlled, theatrical allure.

A pronounced stylistic evolution
Later that evening, the actress appeared in a long green and pink dress, paired with a matching satin shawl, also by Carolina Herrera. A return to a more classic silhouette, but still just as elegant. For several months now, Pamela Anderson has been undergoing a broader stylistic transformation. She favors natural makeup and more minimalist looks, a choice she explained in an interview with People . She confided that she was in "transition," exploring a new version of herself through her public appearances.
The short dress "58-year-old version"
By choosing a structured cape to complement a short dress, Pamela Anderson demonstrates that style has never been a matter of age. This choice affirms that no length, no cut, no trend is reserved for a specific age group. Clothing becomes a means of expression, not an imposed limitation.
This unexpected detail—the cape worn as a dress—lends the short piece a couture and decidedly contemporary feel. It's not about "looking younger," but simply about being fully oneself. It's about dressing to celebrate one's body as it is today, with confidence and joy.
Pamela Anderson continues to surprise on the red carpet. By pairing a short dress with a cape, she offers a sophisticated and modern interpretation of a piece often considered difficult to wear. Proof that, with the right detail, fashion is not limited to a particular era or age – but rather to the freedom to be daring.
