Pamela Anderson admitted she was “emotional” as she watched her and Tommy Lee’s son Dylan Jagger Lee marry interior designer Paula Bruss in Saint-Tropez.
In photos shared by Vogue, the former Baywatch star looked striking in a custom dress featuring a mustard colour, a maxi length and intricate lace cape, designed by Fernando Garcia for Oscar de la Renta, who was also responsible for the bride’s wedding dress.
“Fernando has been a friend for a long time,” said Pamela, who completed her mother-of-the-groom look with neutral shoes and a minimal beauty look. Opting for a fresh-faced complexion, she kept it simple with a swipe of nude lipstick and her hair styled into a loose, messy updo.
It was a reflection of Pamela’s beauty evolution, from blonde bombshell in the 90s to choosing to go makeup-free at red carpets in 2023.
“I don’t want to play a character in my personal life,” she previously told Entertainment Tonight, explaining that her new look helped her step away from the glamorous persona she was known for.
Emotional mother-of-the-groom
Speaking about her son’s wedding, the 58-year-old told Vogue: “I’m so happy for Dylan and so excited to send him off into the wild world.
“It’s an emotional moment. Tears are catching me off guard at times – happy tears. But as Khalil Gibran says, ‘As parents, we are the bow from which life springs.'”
Meanwhile, Dylan’s bride chose a whimsical dress with a shorter front and dramatic train finished with flower details. Paula enlisted the help of both her mother and her mother-in-law to design her dress, which was inspired by “classic French cinema, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face, and archival runway collections.”

“We’d see each other around. Then one night in 2017, when my mom [Pamela Anderson] left town, my friends and I threw a little get-together at the house – as boys do – and invited her over,” he recalled.

The couple got engaged in July 2024 in Saint-Tropez, and chose to return to the magical location for their wedding ceremony in a private villa in Les Parcs.
