Pamela Anderson Rocks Backless Dress With Extra-High Slit in NYC

And for the Barb Wire star brought the color to the canals. Case in point? For the Kornél Mundruczó movie’s screening on Sept. 9, Anderson stunned in a bright sunflower yellow satin Carolina Herrera gown, which featured an off-the-shoulder bodice and long, billowy sleeves that cinched at the wrists.

She previously chose another colorful look while supporting her Place to Be costar Ellen Burstyn when she was honored with the Golden Lion For Lifetime Achievement Award at the film festival on Sept. 7. Indeed, Anderson donned an ethereal, yet casual ensemble that featured a monochromatic violet matching chiffon cape-like blouse and skirt.

And one day prior, the model stole the show in a tangerine orange Calvin Klein gown paired with a matching shawl while attending the amfAR Gala Venezia where she received the Award of Courage.

While accepting the honor, Anderson shared insight into a personal health journey, opening up about her battle with Hepatitis C—a viral infection spread through blood that causes swelling in the liver, per the Mayo Clinic—following her diagnosis in the ‘90s.

“It was a death sentence,” Anderson shared onstage at the amfAR Gala Venezia 2026 on Sept. 6, per video shared by Variety. “That’s what my doctor told me, that I probably had around 10 years to live.”

And though a cure was discovered 10 years later, and she’s “grateful” to now be “Hep C free,” she’ll never forget what she went through.

“My experience of shame and guilt was also an unconscious journey,” Anderson admitted. “It stays with me. It haunts me.”
