Costco teamster workers set to strike this week as company embroiled in DEI controversy
Storch Advisors CEO and former Toys”R”Us and Target executive Gerald Storch reacts to a strong November retail report and explains how industry winners are ‘value-based’ players.
As Costco finds itself embroiled in a public battle over its controversial DEI policies, a much larger fight is looming with 18,000 store employees set to head to the picket lines if the grocery chain can’t agree to a new contract by Friday.
“If Costco actually respects its employees, it will give our 18,000 members the wages, benefits and work rules that they have been demanding for months,” a Teamsters spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The grocery wholesaler, who has long held a pro-worker image, has been locked in a protracted battle with the Teamsters union, which represents 18,000 of Costco’s 219,000 U.S. worker base. The Teamsters are accusing the grocery club of not sharing its record $7.4 billion profits with its workers. The Teamsters have accused Costco of engaging in “illegal and reckless behavior,” including kicking union reps out of stores, preventing employees from wearing Teamster buttons and changing the locks on union bulletin boards.

Talks finally broke down in January when Costco refused to reach a card check agreement. Card check is a process that would make it easier for workers to join unions by eliminating secret ballots. Eighty-five percent of Costco’s unionized employees voted to authorize a strike. The strike would affect 50 stores across the U.S. in New York, New Jersey, Virginia and Washington.
As the Costco board voted overwhelmingly to reject an anti-DEI measure brought by activist investors at their shareholders meeting last Friday, workers rallied just outside their Washington offices — signaling the real fight was yet to come.
“Costco has two choices: respect the workers who made them a success or face a national strike. Costco Teamsters deserve an industry-leading contract that reflects the company’s massive profits. If Costco thinks they can exploit our members while raking in billions, we’ll shut them down,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in a statement.

“What I can tell you is our contract with this company expires at midnight on Friday, and the reason Costco has made so much money over the past few years is its workers,” the Teamsters spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Costco didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The potential strike comes as 19 states’ attorneys general called on Costco to drop their DEI policies, writing that the grocery chain must “end all unlawful discrimination imposed by the company through diversity, equity, and inclusion,” in a letter sent to Costco CEO Ron Vachris.

When asked if the Teamsters thought that the wholesaler was picking a public fight about DEI to deflect attention away from its labor dispute, their spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “I can’t really speculate as to why Costco makes certain decisions.”
Costco teamster workers are gearing up for a strike this week as the company finds itself embroiled in a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) controversy.The teamster workers, who are part of the union representing Costco employees, are demanding better pay, benefits, and working conditions. They are also calling for Costco to address the DEI issues that have come to light in recent weeks.
In a statement, the teamster workers said, “We deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Costco’s failure to address the DEI issues within the company is unacceptable and we will not stand for it any longer.”
The strike is set to begin on [date], and it is expected to impact operations at Costco locations across the country. Customers are being advised to plan accordingly and expect delays or disruptions in service.
Costco has not yet responded to the impending strike, but it is clear that the company will need to address the concerns of its teamster workers in order to avoid further backlash and potential long-term damage to its reputation.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

Le spectacle était aussi bien sur scène que dans la salle. Mardi, le créateur Stéphane Rolland présentait sa collection haute couture printemps-été 2025 à la Salle Pleyel, à Paris.

Stéphane Rolland s’est associé à l’Opération Pièces Jaunes, de la Fondation des Hôpitaux – il a mis en vente des places pour son défilé pour récolter des fonds pour les enfants hospitalisés. De quoi ravir la première dame, présidente de l’Opération. Au premier rang du défilé, à côté de Sylvie Vartan en tailleur-pantalon noir, Brigitte Macron a misé sur la sobriété avec un jean et un manteau noir mi-long. Ce qui ne l’a pas empêchée de briller sous les flashes des photographes, la première dame se prêtant au jeu du photocall : elle a pris la pose, tout sourire, avec Sylvie Vartan ainsi qu’avec Vitaa. Elle a aussi pris le temps de discuter avec les différents invités, notamment Iris Mittenaere, comme on a pu le voir sur les réseaux sociaux.

#Brigitte #Macron #Sylvie #Vartan #duo #stylé #Fashion #WeekFirst Alert Weather Days next week; first winter snow chance in the lowlands
Well, it’s been nice while it lasted! I’ve been on my bike this month more than any winter month in the past. What a stable weather pattern with cold nights in the 20s and sunny afternoons up around 50°. Now that’s changing and it’s real clear that we’ll be flirting with low-elevation snow chances much of the first 7-10 days of February.
KEY POINTS
- Clouds arrive tomorrow, then a rainy day Friday will be followed by scattered showers Saturday and Sunday.
- Over the weekend, sticking snow should remain at/above 1,000′ in the I-5 corridor. But at the lowest elevations (including coastline) you may see snow in the air, especially Sunday, and splats on your windshield
- Scattered showers continue Sunday night through Wednesday, possibly tapering off quite a bit Tues/Wed.
- Expect spotty light accumulations of snow during the coldest parts of each day (overnight + morning commutes)
- There’s a good chance we get school delays and spots of snow/ice on SOME roads those mornings.
- This is NOT a widespread snow and “frozen city” event like last January, or February 2023.
- We don’t expect an “arctic freeze” (highs below 32° in Portland) through at least Tuesday/Wednesday
1st chance for lowland snow this winter And here’s our current 7-day forecast. Notice I’m most interested in Monday-Wednesday mornings, thus the First Alert Weather Days (mornings)
Wednesday evening’s 7-day forecast Today we’ve tied the all-time (back to 1940) record for consecutive dry days in January. 17 this year! What a stretch of fantastic and invigorating weather.
Record January dry spell This is not a record dry January though…we will likely end up with about 1/2 of normal rainfall.
Wx Blog(kptv) WHAT’S AHEAD
Forecast models are in excellent agreement this evening; pretty good for 4-7 days out in time. They all agree a cold upper-level low drops down. The Euro model Saturday morning shows the cool westerly flow over us overhead, this is 500 millibars, around 18,000′
Between that time and Wednesday the cold trough drops south, then actually backs away from the coastline slightly toward Wednesday. This is the evening GFS model during those 5 days
( ) In this setup we get scattered showers moving onshore through the whole period. We know from past experience that to get sticking snow to sea-level (or valley floor) in this pattern, we need 850 millibar temps (in °C) down to -7 to -9°. For guaranteed sticking down to ground level, you need -9 to -10. In a well-mixed atmosphere, that means Cascade pass temperatures are down around 20° (F). Here’s Monday morning on the latest GFS model
Wx Blog(kptv) The red line is around -10, notice the coldest air remains west of us over the open ocean. The blue line is the limit of the cold/dry arctic airmass, it’s staying well north of us through Monday, although there may be some “leakage” of that cold airmass later Tuesday and Wednesday down into eastern Washington/Oregon. Models disagree on that a bit. That’s why at this point I’m not expecting a big freeze.
And the reason we’re just going for light showers in the 72 hours from late Sunday through Wednesday? Check out precipitation during that time…less than 1/2″!
GFS model 3-day precip Mon-Wed The evening GEM model and earlier ECMWF were similar…quite dry during this period. In case you wonder how much snow you could squeeze out of 1/2″ rain? On average about 5″. So if you read that model literally (you shouldn’t do that), you could say “IF EVERY SHOWER WAS SNOW AND STUCK AT ANY TIME OF DAY, the maximum snowfall we could get during those 3 days would be 5″
Wx Blog(kptv) Of course much of the time it’ll be above freezing so that’s not happening…you get the idea. This is why we keep talking SHOWERS instead of widespread snowfall early next week.
That’s it for this evening, the weather team will be recording a brand new podcast tomorrow evening; that should be out Friday morning at the latest. In these podcasts we take a deep dive into the forecast models and other weather geekery. We’ve got a brand new team member that we’ll introduce as well! You can find those here:
Then I’ll have a fresh blog post out Friday evening…likely before 8pm.

Get ready, Pacific Northwest! It looks like we may have our first taste of winter weather next week. The National Weather Service has issued a First Alert Weather Day for the region, with a chance of snow in the lowlands.While the forecast is still uncertain, there is a possibility of snow showers moving in from the north, bringing the potential for slippery roads and reduced visibility. Make sure to stay tuned to your local forecast for updates and be prepared for changing conditions.
Now is the time to start thinking about winterizing your home and vehicles, as well as stocking up on essentials like food, water, and emergency supplies. And don’t forget to bundle up and stay warm as the temperatures drop.

Minor snow threat possible in Portland next week, heavy snow expected in Cascades
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — Colder weather is forecast to move into the area starting Friday morning.
The National Weather Service in Portland has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Oregon and Southwest Washington Cascades.
They have also issued a Winter Storm Watch for the north Oregon Coast Range and the Willapa Hills in Washington.
“This system’s arrival soon will change the entire weather pattern we’ve been experiencing recently—from historically dry and cold to what we normally see in February,” said Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Rhonda Shelby.
The snow level will begin at around 4,000 feet Friday morning before dropping to around 3,000 feet by Friday night.
“Heavy snow possible above 3,000 feet. Total snow accumulations between 6 and 12 inches, and up to 15 inches above 5,000 feet,” NWS Portland said in their warning message.
In the Coast Range and Willapa Hills, forecasters are calling for 2 to 4 inches through Saturday afternoon.
People traveling to the coast should expect to encounter winter driving conditions. The snow level will start around 3,000 feet before lowering towards 500 feet by late Saturday morning.
With the snow level falling that low, people are wondering about the possibility of seeing snow in the Willamette Valley and around the Portland area.
“This is not looking like an arctic outbreak or deep freeze. It’s looking more like a minor snow threat for most areas below 1000 feet early next week,” Shelby said.
Weather models continue to offer different solutions every run and Shelby adds that any slight change in cold air or an addition or subtraction of available precipitation could change the forecast.
“I expect the snow level to fluctuate from 500 to 1000 feet at times early next week. This is referring to the “sticking” level of snow. However, anyone at sea level could expect dustings of snow in heavier showers that occur early in the morning or late at night when air temperatures are coldest,” Shelby stated.
Storm Tracker 2 Meteorologist Dave Salesky will have the latest forecast on KATU News tonight at 4, 5, 6, and 11 p.m.
As winter weather continues to make its presence known in the Pacific Northwest, residents in Portland may want to keep an eye on the forecast for next week. While heavy snow is expected in the Cascades, there is also a minor snow threat for the Portland area.The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for the Cascades, with up to a foot of snow expected in some areas. This could create hazardous driving conditions on mountain passes and higher elevation roads.
In Portland, there is a chance of snow next week, although accumulations are expected to be light. However, even a small amount of snow can cause disruptions in the city, so residents should be prepared for possible impacts on travel and daily activities.
As always, it’s important to stay informed and prepared for changing weather conditions. Keep an eye on the forecast and make sure you have necessary supplies on hand in case of snow or ice. Stay safe out there, Portland!

Elton John is supported by husband David Furnish as he puts on a stylish display at Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week – after opening up about losing his eyesight
He’s known for his bold fashion choices and Elton John didn’t disappoint as he sat front row at the Valentino Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday.
The legendary musician, 77, put on a stylish display as he opted for a bold blue pair of glasses as he beamed in snaps.
The Rocketman hitmaker wore a black and white polka dot shirt underneath a smart black blazer.
He looked well as he accessorised the look with white and pink pearl necklace and bright red trainers as he sat beside his husband David Furnish.
It comes after the singer opened up about losing his eyesight after an infection and revealed that as a result he can’t see, read or watch anything.
David, 62, looked smart in a grey checked suit and pale blue shirt as the pair prepared to watch the show.

Also in attendance was Kate Moss‘ ex boyfriend Count Nikolai Von Bismarck, however the supermodel was nowhere to be seen.
It was revealed in December that the model, 50, is said to have finally called it quits with Nikolai, 37, after nine years together.
Seated next to American writer Derek Blasberg, Nikolai kept it casual in a pale pink and blue striped shirt and black blazer.
Nick Cave and his wife Susie also posed up a storm together as the musician looked rather dapper in a black suit, tie and white shirt.
Meanwhile fashion designer Susie, 58, made sure all eyes were on her in black wrap dress adorned with sparkly purple and green thistles.
Completing the look with black lace gloves and matching tights, she added a quirky slip on green shoe and silver sparkly bow clip.
Annie Lennox’s daughter Tali opted for a plunging cream floaty blouse and matching skirt as she flashed a hint of cleavage in the ensemble.
The model, 31, completed the look with long black plaited pigtails as she struck a serious expression on the front row.
Elton’s outing comes after he celebrated his ninth Official Number 1 album with his album Diamonds.

Colman Domingo was also in attendance as he posed for a snap with model and activist Bethann Hardison

The couple were joined by Italian singer Carla Bruni
An array of bold designs were on display on the catwalk, including a colourful furry ballgown
Another model donned a huge floral dress, featuring puffed sleeces and an embellished mask
A chart staple since its release in 2017, the 77-year-old music legend’s career-spanning hits collection finally surged to the summit in its 374th week on chart.
The record was bolstered by limited edition releases across brand-new formats, including cassette for the first time.
The Pinner-born star’s latest compilation debuted at Number 5 in its opening week back in 2017 and went on to peak at Number 2.
It hasn’t left the Official Albums Chart Top 100 since its release, and far and away boasts more weeks on chart than any other Elton LP.
Moreover, Diamonds claims the most consecutive weeks inside the Official Albums Chart Top 40 ever and claims the most weeks inside the Top 40 before reaching that coveted Number 1 spot.
Diamonds now joins Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player (1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973), Caribou (1974), Elton John’s Greatest Hits (1974), Sleeping With The Past (1989), The Very Best Of Elton John (1990), collaborative PNAU record Good Morning To The Night (2012) and The Lockdown Sessions (2021) in Elton’s tally of UK chart-toppers.
It also comes amid his health struggles with his eyesight, which he first lifted the lid on in September 2024.
Elton appeared on Good Morning America alongside his husband David in December to chat with Robin Roberts about his life, career and the personal challenges featured in his new documentary.
Speaking in the interview, the music legend explained: ‘I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France and it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see.
Elton’s outing comes after he celebrated his ninth Official Number 1 album with his album Diamonds
It also comes amid his health struggles with his eyesight, which he first lifted the lid on in September 2024 (pictured on stage in October)
‘And my left eye is not the greatest, so. There’s hope and encouragement that it will be okay and we’re taking an intiative to try and get it better. At the moment that’s really what we’re concentrating on.’
When asked to elaborate on his current health to put fans worried at ease, Sir Elton quipped: ‘David and I always have our blood tests every six months in Los Angeles. Our health has never been better.
‘It’s never fortunate for anything like this to happen. I can’t see anything, I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.’
The hitmaker, who played his final shows last summer, revealed his eyesight issues in September.
He took to his Instagram with a lengthy post, explaining how he spent the past few months ‘recuperating at home.’
Elton wrote: ‘Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye.
‘I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.
‘I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks.’
He took to his Instagram with a lengthy post, explaining how he spent the past few months ‘recuperating at home’
Elton concluded: ‘I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.’
And his health battles have undermined any new music from the star.
Elsewhere in the interview, he said: ‘I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording I don’t know, because I can’t see a lyric for a start.
‘We’re taking an initiative to try and get it better, but at the moment that’s really what we’re concentrating on.’

The iconic musician, known for his flamboyant style, did not disappoint as he put on a stylish display in a bold ensemble.
This appearance comes after Elton John recently opened up about his struggles with losing his eyesight due to a health condition. Despite this setback, the legendary singer has continued to inspire fans with his resilience and positive attitude.
With David Furnish by his side, Elton John confidently walked the runway, showcasing his impeccable sense of style and unwavering confidence. The couple’s love and support for each other were evident, proving that true love knows no bounds.

2024-25 WAC WBB Week 13 Release
GRAND CANYON’S SWEET 17
Grand Canyon is now the current holder of the second-longest active winning streak in NCAA D1 women’s basketball with 17 consecutive wins. With two wins last week against Southern Utah (79-51) and Utah Tech (78-43), GCU tied its single-season record of 17 straight wins, matching the record last reached in 2010-11. The Lopes also tied a program record for home victories in a single season (14). GCU is 40-8 at home since the 2022-23 season and has won at least 13 home games in each of the last three seasons. The Lopes received their best NET ranking in program history as they checked in at 68th and moved up to fourth in the Women’s Mid Major Top 25 Poll.
WOLVERINES WIN FOURTH STRAIGHT
Utah Valley kept its winning streak rolling as the Wolverines picked up wins over California Baptist (59-50) and Seattle U (99-55). UVU overcame a 10-point deficit on Thursday against CBU with a 17-point run that started in the third quarter and carried into the fourth quarter. The Wolverines were one point shy of reaching triple digits against SU on Saturday as six players reached double figures in the scoring category. Redshirt-senior guard Tahlia White led all scorers in both games and averaged 20.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 steals.
UT ARLINGTON RETURNS TO THE WIN COLUMN
UT Arlington rebounded from suffering its first conference loss with two wins last week over Seattle U (70-58) and Abilene Christian (71-52). With the win against ACU, the Lady Mavs improved to a perfect 8-0 home record, accomplishing the feat for the first time at the College Park Center and the first time since the 2007-08 season. Fifth-year forward Koi Love claimed her sixth WAC Newcomer of the Week honor after averaging 17.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals and shooting 55.6 percent from the field. Fellow fifth-year forward Avery Brittingham collected her league-leading eighth and ninth double-double last week, making herself one of only 31 players in the country to have at least nine double-doubles this year.
SOUTHERN UTAH’S CALIFORNIA COMEBACK
Southern Utah performed one of the biggest WAC comebacks of the year on Saturday against California Baptist as the Thunderbirds were looking at a 10-point deficit with nearly two and a half minutes left on the clock. Graduate guard Sydney Gandy hit a big three to begin the comeback run and graduate guard Daylani Ballena took over in the final two minutes, scoring seven points including the game-winning layup with three seconds remaining. Ballena’s game-winner capped off a 12-1 Thunderbird run as SUU came away with the 64-63 victory. Ballena posted a season-high 20 points and graduate guard Lexi Bull recorded a double-double with 10 points and a season-high 16 rebounds.
TIARRA BROWN GROWS HER GCU LEGACY
Two weeks after becoming Grand Canyon’s all time D1 scoring leader, graduate Tiarra Brown put herself atop the GCU record books once again by becoming the Lopes’ all-time rebounding leader with her 650th career board on Thursday night versus Southern Utah.

#Week #WAC #Womens #Basketball #JanPamela Anderson glows into Paris Fashion Week with a fresh face
Pamela Anderson is continuing her makeup-free streak into 2025.
The actress was seen making a stylish stop at the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 27, wearing a gray suit that included a belted-wrapped jacket and wide-leg trousers.
She topped the look with a birdcage-like veil while wearing what appeared to be little to no makeup underneath.

She completed the ensemble with a crocodile-like print clutch purse and black slingback pumps.
For glam, she showed off a fresh face with very minimal (if any) makeup at all.

(Stephane Cardinale/Corbis via Getty Images) While the once high-glam “Baywatch” alum’s fresh, makeup-less moment may come as a surprise to some, she actually has been showing off her natural glow since 2023.
In an August 2023 interview with Elle, she described the change as both liberating and slightly rebellious, remarking on how aging had given her new perspectives on beauty.
“I think we all start looking a little funny as we get older,” she said at the time, admitting that her reflection sometimes surprises her but that she had come to enjoy the journey.
Anderson maintained her natural look at several prestigious events, including the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars Party and the 2023 Fashion Awards.
She also showed up sans makeup for the majority of her “The Last Showgirl” premieres and press stops.
Last year, her pared down appearance drew further attention when she graced the February 2024 cover of WWD without a stitch of makeup, sparking admiration for her natural beauty.
Sharing images from the spread, Anderson captioned an Instagram post at the time, “I’d rather show my freckles,” adding that embracing her age had brought her a sense of relief.

#Pamela #Anderson #glows #Paris #Fashion #Week #fresh #faceA Guide to Pamela Anderson’s Fashion From Paris Couture Week
Sometimes stars make their way to couture week in Paris with spectacle on their mind. They want buzz thanks to either tight, body-hugging designs done in sequins and sparkles or outfits that border on the theatrical. This year, however, an understated celeb star of the Paris couture shows emerged. Her name? Pamela Anderson.
Anderson, fresh off her Golden Globe and SAG-nominated turn in The Last Showgirl, touched down in the City of Light with a clear playbook. Per usual, the actress has favored unfussy, free-spirited silhouettes—a type of “French Girl” chic that prioritizes “lived-in” chic rather than over-done clichés that tourists think are chic. Take the bridal white blouse and palazzo pants Anderson wore to Chanel’s spring 2025 couture show on Tuesday morning.
There was a slight sheer effect and ruffle details that added interest to the design. But overall, it was a stark (and rather welcomed) contrast to the other guests at the show who were done up in cropped tweed jackets, sheer feather capes, and bow-trimmed hot pants. The actress made everything all that more cool by topping off her look with a pair of black movie star glasses.

Like her recent press tour, the actress mainly stuck to crisp, monochrome wool and silk fabrics during her time in France. Classic shapes were plenty, too. Anderson did her version of Dior’s New Look at the brand’s show on Monday, wearing an elegant coat that was wrapped up with a matching scarf underneath. It was referential to the house’s past (Anderson also wore a lace face veil and a Lady Dior bag in a further ode to the maison) but also in keeping with the actress’s preference for clean-cut silhouettes.
It’s also worth noting that rarely does a celebrity attend both Chanel and Dior in the same couture season, which is all the more reason to crown Anderson as a leading lady of couture season.

Paris Fashion Week is a special place for Anderson. She completely re-defined her style in September 2023 when she attended The Row’s presentation in two suit coats worn on top of one another, leaving behind her Baywatch days for an aesthetic favored by fashion editors and “Quiet Luxury” heads.
Of course, under-dressed is the last way to describe Anderson’s fashion week wardrobe this season. She’d surely prefer understated.
If you’re a fan of Pamela Anderson and her iconic style, then you won’t want to miss out on her latest looks from Paris Couture Week. From slinky dresses to bold accessories, Pamela knows how to make a statement on the runway. In this guide, we’ll break down some of her standout looks and show you how to incorporate her fashion sense into your own wardrobe.

“The Last Showgirl” star embraced a minimalist yet striking veiled black headband, captivating the fashion world with a chic retro accessory topped off with her all-gray ensemble.
Anderson wore a draped gray jacket and matching trousers, cinched at the waist with a skinny black belt. Her accessories were simple but impactful: she carried a black-and-gold bag while elevating the look with her dramatic headband and veil.
The “Baywatch” icon wore her blonde tresses loose in waves and opted for a bare-faced, natural makeup look—staying true to her recent embrace of minimalism and natural beauty.

Outside the event, Anderson delighted fans as she blew playful kisses and strutted confidently in an additional outfit: a white ensemble featuring frilled flared trousers and a matching ruffled blouse. She completed the look with a white Chanel clutch and a pair of signature black-rimmed sunglasses. Anderson even treated the crowd to a lighthearted dance before stepping into the venue.
While seated front row at the Dior show, Anderson was spotted mingling with other notable attendees, including Alexandra Daddario, Elizabeth Debicki, Naomi Scott, and Nadia Tereszkiewicz. Her confident and relaxed energy left a lasting impression on both fans and the fashion elite.
This isn’t Anderson’s first Paris Fashion Week appearance. Just one day prior, she attended the Jacquemus Fall 2025 show, donning a sleek white button-up shirt paired with a matching midi skirt.
Pamela Anderson Shines At Gotham Awards With Natural Beauty And Reflects On Her Makeup-Free Journey
At the 2024 Gotham Awards, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, Anderson made a powerful statement about beauty and self-expression. The “Baywatch” star, known for her timeless allure, accepted the Outstanding Lead Performance award for her role in “The Last Showgirl,” all while embracing her natural beauty with a makeup-free look.
Reflecting on her evolving relationship with makeup, Anderson spoke candidly about her personal choices. “I mean. I love to wear makeup too sometimes. It has a time and a place. I just feel in my personal life, it just didn’t really make sense.”
When asked to define beauty, Anderson shared her empowering perspective, telling Page Six, “Being brave and living your dreams. It’s never too late.”
Her bold decision to go makeup-free last year has earned her widespread praise and admiration for challenging conventional beauty standards.
Why Pamela Anderson Decides To Embrace Her True Beauty

In an interview with ELLE in August 2023, Anderson revealed that her decision was influenced by the loss of her longtime makeup artist, Alexis Vogel, who passed away from breast cancer in 2019. “[Alexis] was the best,” she said. “And since then, I just felt, without Alexis, it’s just better for me not to wear makeup.”
She described the shift as both “freeing” and “fun,” adding that it has a rebellious edge. “Because I noticed that there were all these people doing big makeup looks, and it’s just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone’s doing,” she said.
Pamela Anderson Rejects Political Motivation Behind Her Makeup-Free Lifestyle

In an interview with Allure last year, Anderson explained her perspective, saying, “It wasn’t to make a political statement. I just wanted to have my little weird face sticking out of the top of those great clothes…why am I playing the game?”
Anderson reflected on her makeup-free moment at Paris Fashion Week, sharing a humorous anecdote about how people reacted—or didn’t react—to her barefaced look as she was able to walk out the door and “right through the same crowd that had been chasing [her] and no one noticed.”
Pamela Anderson shocked fans as she stepped out without a drop of makeup at the Dior Paris Fashion Week show. The 54-year-old actress and model looked nearly unrecognizable as she embraced her natural beauty on the red carpet.
