Pamela Anderson's no-makeup SAG Awards look adds Old Hollywood glamour
The actress, who was nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a leading role for "The Last Showgirl" at Sunday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, debuted a makeup-free look and a bit of Old Hollywood glamour, with her hair in deep, structured waves. She wore a cream one-shoulder Dior gown and paired it with white gold Pandora jewelry with diamonds.
Though Anderson, 57, won with her stunning look, the best actress award would later go to Demi Moore for "The Substance."
Anderson's fresh-faced glow has impressed many since she started transitioning away from makeup on red carpets in 2023 (and kicked off a "natural beauty revolution," in the words of her "Showgirl" co-star Jamie Lee Curtis).
Sunday's look follows a fresh-faced moment at December's Gotham Film Awards. There, she wore a strapless gold gown with minimal accessories, effortless hair and no makeup. Anderson told People on that red carpet that she hadn't barred makeup from her life completely, especially while acting.

"I love to wear makeup, too, sometimes," she said. "It has a time and a place. I just feel in my personal life, it just didn't really make sense."
The former "Baywatch" star told Vogue France in October 2023 that she hopes that she can help model the multitude of ways women can express themselves. "I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room," she said. "I feel like it's just freedom. It's a relief."
As far as what's next after her indie drama turn, Anderson told USA TODAY on Sunday that she's looking forward to "more movies."
"More film. Working with incredible directors like Gia (Coppola). I want to surprise people. I want to surprise myself," she said. "I want to know what I'm made of."

This $7 Old School Powder Perfects My Skin
For as long as I can remember, I've had an unwavering fascination for vintage aesthetics, be it midcentury furnishings, Old Hollywood films, or old school beauty products that you can still purchase in the modern day. It's no surprise then that, after discovering this one affordable and perfect-in-every-way setting powder several years ago, the Coty Airspun has remained a steadfast staple in my own makeup routine and probably always will. With a formula harkening back to 1935 — but now updated to be talc-free —the Airspun loose powder offers skin a silky soft veil, truly befitting a silver screen starlet of yesteryear. It manages to blur imperfections and enlarged pores, secure cream and liquid foundations in place and absorb any excess oil — all while feeling imperceptible on the skin.A major upside to the Airspun powder, which I've often seen compared to the luxurious (and expensive) likes of the Laura Mercier and the One/Size setting powders, is that it won't settle into fine lines. Even when I dab a light layer of this under my eyes and around the creases of my nose, it almost absorbs into and fuses with my skin, rather than lying on top of it and creating that dreaded cakey layer.I should also point out that, as someone with naturally very dry skin, I tend to steer far from any skin cosmetics that claim to be mattifying. Not only is my skin not compatible with these types of formulas, but I also detest the chalky finish that ultimately exaggerates any flaking or dryness I might have. Though advertised as a product to mattify, this cloud-like powder doesn't dry my skin out to an inch of its life. Rather, it gives it a soft and smoothed-over appearance that subdues any unwanted shine and almost airbrushes the complexion. Other fans of this vintage icon authenticate my Coty Airspun experience. 'I use this to set my foundation, and it doesn't crease, budge, move, or FLINCH all day,' one Amazon reviewer wrote. 'I am 47, with fine lines around my eyes, but everything else is rather oily. I set my foundation in the morning with this powder and literally don't even have to look at the rest of the day. ' Here's how I use it: After I finish applying my liquid foundation and cream products, I dab my trusty BeautyBlender Power Pocket Puff into a small amount of the loose powder shaken out into the lid, then press it into the skin on my T-zone only, specifically on around my nose, chin and center of the forehead. If I'm wearing a pencil or cream eyeliner, I'll even take a fluffy eye shadow brush and buff a very thin layer on top of the applied eyeliner and before my mascara to keep things completely is also one of the most economical cosmetic products in my kit. As I mentioned, I use the powder quite sparingly (you might want to use more if your skin is more oil-prone), so one 1.23 ounce-sized container literally lasts me years, and it only sets me back $7. I would be remiss if I forgot to mention one other component of this retro powder that, for me, adds to its signature nostalgia: the scent. While some may wrinkle their nose and cry 'granny smell!' I can't get enough, and I'm actually saddened when the slightly floral and distinctive powdery smell dissipates after just a few minutes. Imagine your great-grandmother's dressing table adorned with lipsticks and ornate bottles of perfume somehow captured in a fragrance — that's what Coty Airspun smells like. The Coty Airspun's beauty history runs deep, and so does its dedicated fanbase, which turns out to comprise more than just me. Read what other fans of this timeless and lighter-than-air powder have to say or grab yourself a compact from any of the featured retailers. Get it from Amazon for $6.74 (available in three shades and in two-packs).

Liam Neeson on Why ‘The Naked Gun' Reboot Is Needed: ‘Because We're All F—ed'
Liam Neeson, who stars in the new 'The Naked Gun' with Pamela Anderson, has a very simple reason why he believes audiences need the reboot of the classic comedy. 'Because we're all fucked. And we need a few giggles,' he told Variety Monday at the movie's New York City premiere. More from Variety 'White Lotus' Stars Jason Isaacs, Natasha Rothwell and Jon Gries to Be Honored at Creative Coalition's Humanitarian Awards (EXCLUSIVE) Eddie Murphy on Bonding with His 'The Pickup' Co-Star Pete Davidson and Making Action Movies at Age 64: 'I Feel Like Me Still - Just a Little Stiffer' Diana Ross Wows During Almost Three-Hour Hollywood Bowl Concert: 'Either You Move It or You Lose It' He delivered the line in the deadpan style of his on-screen persona, Frank Drebin Jr., the biological (and spiritual) heir to Leslie Nielsen's iconic police lieutenant. The character last graced the big screen in 1994. Neeson did joint interviews with Anderson, who smirked and nodded along with his bleak assessment of the world. But don't ask about how the sausage is made. When one reporter inquired about how they broke the ice on set, Neeson scrunched his face in confusion. 'We broke the ice?' he repeated back, again channeling the oblivious Frank Drebin charm. The pair then laughed in unison and said they jumped right in headfirst. 'It just feels like people are ready to have a big, good-natured laugh about the policing situation in Los Angeles,' producer Seth MacFarlane joked while introducing the film at the SVA Theatre. 'We really nailed the timing of this.' MacFarlane was likely referencing the ICE raids that sparked mass protests in LA. He may not have know that as the 'Naked Gun' was getting underway, a gunman had just opened fire in a Midtown office building and killed four people. Paramount's 'Naked Gun' reboot sidesteps any attempt at satirizing contemporary events in favor of a more absurd plot. Drebin Jr. is racing to stop a deranged billionaire from unleashing a toxic gas that'll revert civilians to their primal form while the ultra-wealthy hide in a private bunker, where they'll be treated to a nonstop performance from 'Weird Al' Yankovic. The siren-blaring question, however, is whether this kind of classic comedy will resonate with younger audiences who consume humor in bite-sized chunks on social media. YouTuber-turned-actor Liza Koshy believes the rapid-fire pace of jokes will hook them in. 'It's back to back to back,' Koshy told Variety. 'It engages your attention span just like scrolling on TikTok would. So it's going to be a dopamine rush.' Yankovic, who's dared the world to be stupid since 1985, said Hollywood hit pause on goofy theatrical comedies after 'the quality maybe went down or we got overly bombarded with movies like that.' He now hopes 'The Naked Gun' reboot 'heralds a new age of comedy in the theaters.''There's nothing wrong with laughing at stupid things,' he added. 'People say, 'Oh, we live in tough times and we need comedies like this more now than ever,' but I don't know that there's ever been a time in the history of the world where everything has been perfect and we didn't need comedy. I think comedy is always welcome.''The Naked Gun' opens in theaters Aug. 1.

Gen Z's dating angst and the science of tsunamis
When it comes to dating, Gen Z is asking: "Why bother?" Many factors are driving this. Young adults born after 1996 are more risk averse than other generations. They're drinking less and having less sex. Many Gen Z-ers also lack confidence in their "in-real-life" social skills, a toll of pandemic quarantines and life lived online. Some wonder if dating is even worth the effort. Why risk rejection and emotional rollercoasters? In a terrific series of stories, USA TODAY Wellness reporters Rachel Hale, Nicole Fallert and Charles Trepany explored the many dimensions of Gen Z's dating angst. Is it here to stay? Maybe. But you might be interested hear what Ellie Williams, a 26-year-old TikToker, has to say about it. As Rachel Hale writes, Williams is on a quest to get Gen Z to embrace "in-real-life" relationships. 👋 USA TODAY Editor-in-Chief Caren Bohan here. Welcome to The Backstory, our newsletter exclusively for subscribers (that's you!). I'll be taking you behind the scenes of our breaking news coverage, scoops and unique storytelling. I also love to hear from our subscribers, so drop me a line at cbohan@ if you have something on your mind. Today, I'm highlighting our newsroom's great reporting on Gen Z's relationship qualms, the mysteries of tsunamis, Ghislaine Maxwell's push for a pardon, a not-so-Kentucky bourbon and a travel tip. One woman's quest to make Gen Z fall in love Anxiety around dating is evident in data from companies like Hinge. More than half of Gen Z daters on Hinge's dating app say concerns about rejection have soured them on relationships. Some young people have gravitated toward "situationships," which offer closeness without commitment. Those can bring problems of their own. What if one partner in a situationship develops strong feelings that aren't reciprocated? Do you really want to deal with the guilt and heartache? Others are saying no to sex altogether. The downsides aren't lost on Ellie Williams, but she wants Gen Z to give dating a second look anyway, one candid polaroid at a time. Williams' videos, "Where men on the street go out in NYC,' are sparking online conversation. She told USA TODAY she hopes the series will help young people get out and meet in real life — and maybe find romance. A tsunami threat stirred fear. Surfers had other ideas On July 29, a massive earthquake that hit Russia's Far East stirred fears of a catastrophic tsunami hitting Hawaii, Alaska and the West Coast. Coastal residents worried the waves could bring death and destruction on the scale of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Some surfers ignored the warnings and headed out into the ocean anyway. USA TODAY reporter Will Carless, a Californian and lifelong surfer, admits that he was tempted though ultimately decided to remain on dry land. The tsunami turned out to be modest. But Carless used the opportunity to enlighten the non-surfers among us about the science of waves. "Think of laying in a bathtub," Carless writes. "If you blow across the surface of the water, you'll create little ripples that will lap against the rim of the tub like tiny surfing waves. But if you sit up suddenly, you'll likely send water splashing across the bathroom floor. That's your own personal tsunami." Read more here from Carless about surfing, tsunamis and why some ocean swells can turn violent quickly. A few of my favorite USA TODAY reads this week: How Ghislaine Maxwell's life of privilege went wrong She grew up in a 51-room Italianate mansion in the United Kingdom. Ghislaine Maxwell was a prominent socialite and close confidant of Jeffrey Epstein. She wore the uniform of old money: button-ups, crewneck sweaters and minimal makeup. As USA TODAY's Laura Trujillo writes, Maxwell hobnobbed with Prince Andrew, a former and future president. Now, she's serving a prison sentence for conspiring with Epstein to recruit, groom and sexually abuse underage girls. And she's at the center of a controversy dogging President Donald Trump as her lawyers seek to secure a pardon from him. Canadians are making Old-Fashioneds without Kentucky bourbon? Amid a raging trade war with Canada, USA TODAY reporter Michael Collins traveled to Quebec to see how it's playing out. Collins, who speaks conversational French, writes that while Canadians are known for their easy-going attitude and friendliness, Trump is testing the limits of their cordiality. Here's how Collins, a mild-mannered Kentuckian with good southern manners, reacted to the tariff-driven changes in one of his favorite cocktails.
