Pamela Anderson's makeup-free wave has made her fall "in love with the camera" more now than in her full-glam days.
Anderson, 56, made waves during Paris Fashion Week in September for approaching the high fashion moment without a glam squad. She's continuing to embrace her "raw" beauty as one of the cover stars of CR Fashion Book's Audacious Issue 24, released Wednesday.
The Baywatch alum reflected on what it was like to do a photoshoot without glam. "We just made it completely raw," she said. "And it's weird; it's almost like I fell in love with the camera. There was definitely a love story there. I don't know what that was about. It could be self-love. It could have been a crush on the photographer (Roe Ethridge).
Anderson rocks nude bodysuits, a tailored suit with a structured headpiece, a flight attendant-esque skirt suit and more in the photos. In addition to showing off her natural glow, she kept her hair simple in tousled waves, relaxed buns and a smooth slick back.
"There were some moments where I felt really vulnerable and, not shy, but exposed," she told the outlet. "This is the stuff I like to do."
Anderson went on to discuss her thought process behind not wearing makeup to Paris Fashion Week. In part, she said, "I was doing it for me. Can I walk out the door like this? Like, I'm fine the way I am."
"And I just didn't want to get into the whole glam thing and play the game. I just want to flip the script; I want to challenge beauty," she added.
When her agents and her sons Brandon Lee, 27, and Dylan Lee, 26, whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee, commented, "you need the glam team," Anderson said it made her want to go fresh-faced even more.
"No one looked at me and went, 'Aggghhhh!,'" she joked of the reaction from people at fashion week.
Anderson previously told Highsnobiety that her sons were "horrified" by her decision.

The model told CR Fashion Book, "It wasn't my real intention to make a big statement," but she was "doing it for the girls" to show them a look outside of social media, mainstream fashion and films.
"I remember back in the Playboy days, I would go to the Playboy Mansion and there would be soooo many different kinds of beauty, different hair, different makeup, different bodies, different experiences, different tones of voice, different lipstick colors. Everyone was different," Anderson recalled. "And I almost feel like now we're all morphing into this kind of similar looking."
The model jokingly added that her contribution to shifting beauty standards is "not world peace or anything" but she was "glad that it had a positive message."
