Middle-Aged Catwalkers

Golden Girl Pamela Anderson Models at 40 For Richie Rich

Pamela Anderson rocked the Fashion Week runway for Richie Rich. The former Bay Watch star donned a new bathing suit to grace the catwalk. Gold lamé and glitter completed the unflattering look.

Hollywood careers based on youth and beauty are always fleeting. At 40, Pam Anderson is nearing the end of the model road. Older models are on the rise and could help redefine the equation of beauty with youth, but not in Pam’s case. “40 and Fabulous” has never looked like such a hot mess.

Pamela Anderson proves that a pound of makeup can only go so far. It’s time to hang up the bikini.
