Pamela Anderson was on cloud nine after attending the 2025 Met Gala on Monday.

Anderson, star of the critically acclaimed film ""The Last Showgirl," which earned several nominations at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier this year, took to Instagram on Monday night and reflected on her custom Tory Burch look, adding that it was "an honor" to have been invited to the event.

"Bold… Brave… Precise. 🤍," Anderson wrote in the caption of her post, tagging the official Tory Burch account. "A celebration of courage and craftsmanship."

"Thank you for the invitation -- an honor," she added. "Love, P."

The post featured several photos of Anderson in her Met Gala dress, which she accessorized with a sparkling ear-cuff and matching sparkling heels.

Anderson's custom gown featured "ice blue silk mesh fully embroidered with twisted silver sequins and a mix of scattered crystals," according to the label.

The gown's silhouette "was tailored from the inside out using traditional menswear techniques, with hand-sculpted boning, an exaggerated hip, a handmade corset, and a molded floating neckline," the label wrote in the caption of an Instagram post featuring similar photos of Anderson in the gown, adding that it was embroidered in Italy and constructed "in Tory's atelier in New York."

The actress's ear cuff was also custom from Pandora and featured lab-grown diamonds, the jewelry company wrote on Instagram.

Anderson's son Brandon Thomas Lee, who attended Monday's event alongside her, wore a matching custom brooch from Pandora to go with Anderson's outfit.

Anderson's ensemble was complete with a new short haircut, which included a blunt baby bang, as well as her signature fresh-faced look. According to an Instagram post from skin care company Sonsie, which Anderson co-founded, the actress opted for a soft glow using the brand's products, in lieu of makeup.

Speaking to Emma Chamberlain for Vogue before hitting the carpet, Anderson said she felt her look -- which she said included "a little sparkle" with her skin care products -- was "the best version of me right now."

She said the inspiration for her hair was "tailoring from head to toe."

"I've been kind of slowly cutting my hair over different projects that I've been doing over the past couple months, and I thought I was just gonna go for it with this," she said. "I actually really love it."

"It's freedom," she continued. "It's also just nice to be able to be who you want to be and just do it."

She added that her skin has been "so much better now that I haven't been wearing so much makeup."

"It has changed completely," she said. "Not that I'm opposed to makeup, 'cause I love glam. But this version of myself, I'm just not doing so much."
