Scarlett Johansson is all praise for Pamela Anderson for rejecting popular beauty standards and walking down the path of accepting her natural looks sans makeup.
Recently, 56-year-old star Anderson attend Paris Fashion Week without makeup. In an interaction with Popsugar, Johansson hailed Anderson’s decision as a powerful message for women.
“I think it is definitely different to see somebody that’s in the public eye, a woman in the public eye, go to a fashion show or big event with no makeup on. It’s just very different from what we’re used to,” said Johansson.
“It’s a powerful message for women to see that, whether they follow suit or whatever the effect is, in the zeitgeist. It’s powerful for women to see other women rejecting standard beauty norms,” she added.
Anderson’s makeup free look has stirred quite a storm. Actress Jamie Lee Curtis took to Instagram to applaud the model for breaking stereotypes. Curtis hailed Anderson’s actions as the start of a “natural beauty revolution”.
“THE NATURAL BEAUTY REVOLUTION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! @pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures, and and and, this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion,” posted Curtis on Instagram.
