Pamela Anderson and Lily James both attend Versace show after actress filmed THAT sex tape saga
Lily James and Pamela Anderson were both in attendance for the Versace Fall/Winter show on Thursday, after the Baywatch star berated the actress’ portrayal of her in the controversial Hulu series Pam & Tommy
The Baywatch bombshell, 55, wore an eye-catching shimmery black fringe jacket and matching mini skirt that showed off her toned legs.
Meanwhile the British actress, 33, donned a plunging black gown that showcased her ample cleavage and featured a saucy front slit.
It comes after Anderson slammed James’ portrayal of her in Pam & Tommy, and refused to watch the show, saying that seeing Lily and Sebastian Stan dressed as her and ex Tommy Lee, 60, felt like a ‘Halloween costume.’
The series dramatizes the creation and subsequent theft of her infamous sex tape with her rocker ex-husband created during their honeymoon.

The Barb Wire star added extra height to her look with a pair of pointed-toe black heels.
The 90’s superstar wore her blonde locks pinned into a chic updo, and sported a pair of black sunglasses for the occasion.
Meanwhile James wore a pair of open-toe heels, showing off her black pedicure. The beauty had her brunette tresses parted in the middle and styled straight for the event.
As for glam, she opted for smokey eye makeup and a mauve shade of lipstick.
Inside of the event James mingled with actress Ariana DeBose, 32, who wowed in a black fishnet dress. The beauty later took her seat next to Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan, 51, who looked dapper in a navy suit.
Anderson delved into her distaste for the Pam & Tommy miniseries – which also starred Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee – a number of times, including in a January interview with Howard Stern.
James and Stan star in Pam & Tommy as the eponymous couple at the height of their romance, when Pamela was a Baywatch star and Tommy was the drummer for Mötley Crüe.
Pamela admitted that she felt ‘run over’ after she allegedly learned of the show – which chronicles her three-year marriage and heavily focuses on the sex tape – via an ad.

The star claimed to Stern that she had never been contacted about the series. Even worse, she told Stern that — based on what friends told her — she didn’t belief the performances from James or Stan were particularly accurate.
She said: ‘I remember seeing this advert for Pam & Tommy and was like, what? No one called me, I’m still alive, no one asked me, it’s nothing to do with me.’
‘I felt kinda run over by that one. I don’t think they portrayed Tommy or I very accurately. I haven’t seen it but I’ve heard from people that it’s a very shallow representation of us. I wish they would’ve called.’
And though she happily shared her distaste for the show, Pamela stressed that she has no issue with Lily for playing her, during an interview with Variety.
‘I think it’s hard to play somebody when you don’t know the whole picture. I’ve got nothing against Lily James. I think that she’s a beautiful girl and she was just doing the job,’ Pamela said.
‘But the idea of the whole thing happening was just really crushing for me,’ she added. Pamela also called the creators of the show as ‘a**holes.’
Meanwhile Lily shared that she tried to reach out to Anderson and wanted her to be involved in the process.
‘I was really hopeful that she would be involved. I wish it had been different,’ she said in an interview with Net-a-Porter last year.
‘I was very hopeful that we would be in touch right up until we started filming… My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically.’
After the final episode of the show aired in March 2022, the series received critical acclaim, along with garnering a total of ten Primetime Emmy nominations and four Golden Globe nominations.
