Pamela Anderson is making her SAG Awards debut this evening—and she did it in high style. The Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Lead Role nominee and presenter wore a white Dior gown on the red carpet, showcasing the look’s full magnitude by holding up the train for photographers. She accessorized with custom Pandora lab-grown diamonds.
Anderson is being honored for her work in The Last Showgirl. She is competing against Wicked’s Cynthia Erivo, Emilia Pérez’s Karla Sofía Gascón, Anora’s Mikey Madison, and The Substance’s Demi Moore for the award.
Unfortunately, Anderson did not get a Best Actress Oscar nomination, making the SAG Awards her last major show of the awards season in which she is competing. Still, she told ELLE that she is very happy with all she has accomplished so far in her career.
Being nominated for the Oscar is not “something I ever expected,” Anderson said. “Doing the work is the win. That’s what I like to do, and I think we can lose sight of that sometimes in this whole crazy awards season, but it’s nice to be recognized, and it’s all a bonus.”
She added that she “couldn’t imagine [it] anyway. I’m happy for the SAG nomination, that’s [voted on by] your peers. That’s really cool. This has been a long road promoting this film.”
For our January digital cover story, Anderson spoke to Martha Stewart about what attracted to her to the role of Shelly Gardner in The Last Showgirl. “I could hear the voice in my head,” she said. “I could see how to play her, all the layers and nuances. I felt like it was already in my mind, and so I knew I had to do it. And that’s the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like that, because nobody was giving me these great characters to play or a script like this. I just thought, Wow.”
