Pamela Anderson Receives amfAR Award of Courage at Venice Film Festival

The recognition spotlights her long-running AIDS advocacy as she promotes her film Place to Be.

Overview

  • The amfAR Gala Venezia honored Anderson with its Award of Courage at the Hilton Molino Stucky, a recognition amfAR CEO Kyle Clifford said celebrated her steady work on AIDS causes.
  • On Sunday she attended the gala in a bright orange satin gown with a matching shawl while largely foregoing heavy makeup, a look reporters noted as part of her recent natural-beauty stance.
  • Anderson is in Venice to promote Place to Be, which is screening out of competition at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.
  • Photographers captured her the next day leaving the Hotel Excelsior for a water taxi in a black tailored suit and frilly blouse, an outing outlets described as business-chic and continuing her festival appearances.
  • Her public image at the festival tied to her Sonsie skincare brand, which she co-owns with her sons and markets as vegan and cruelty-free, and to a beauty shift that she began publicly during Paris Fashion Week in 2023.
