Anderson’s bleached hair was blown and teased away from her forehead, with tinges of pink poking through. The style was crafted by celebrity hair artist John Nollet, the same visionary behind her strawberry hair transformation for Paris Fashion Week. On Instagram, Nollet shared that the inspiration behind Anderson’s hair was the 1963 French film, “La Baie des Anges,” by Jacques Demy.

As for her fashion, the “Baywatch” star opted for a monochromatic ensemble, featuring a black satin trench coat, square sunglasses and slingback pumps with a peep-toe.

Anderson has always been known for her beauty since her big break in the 1990s, starring on “Baywatch” from 1992 to 1997. She’s certainly rattled the beauty industry over the last few years, embracing her natural features and inspiring a makeup-free movement. The actress has opted instead for a bare, even-toned visage for every major public outing and red carpet event as of late.

Anderson embraced her natural aesthetic even more, joining Sonsie, the cruelty-free skin care brand she re-founded with her two sons, Brandon and Dylan, in January 2024. The family joined about a year after cofounders Marie von Behrens-Felipe and Roberto A. Felipe originally launched the brand.
