Calista Flockhart goes make-up free, slammed for copying Pamela Anderson: 'Jumping on the latest trend'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Calista Flockhart’s latest red carpet appearance is making waves but not for the reasons she might have hoped for.
The 61-year-old actress went makeup-free at The New Group's 30th Anniversary Gala in New York City on March 10, sparking comparisons to Pamela Anderson’s recent all-natural beauty movement.
Calista Flockhart goes barefaced, faces backlash for alleged Pamela Anderson imitation
The 'Ally McBeal' star, dressed in a sleek all-black ensemble, posed confidently for photographers and even shared a warm embrace with 'Curse of the Starving Class' co-star Christian Slater. However, some insiders claim Flockhart’s fresh-faced look is nothing more than a strategic attempt to follow Anderson’s widely praised decision to ditch makeup.
“This is a brazen copy of what Pammy’s been doing,” a source told RadarOnline. “Calista is just jumping on the latest trend to grab a headline.”
"It won't work. Pammy got a lot of buzz for her acting recently and Calista's nowhere near as good an actress as Pam turned out to be in 'The Last Showgirl,'" the source claimed.
Anderson grabbed attention for her performance in 'The Last Showgirl', portraying a seasoned showgirl facing a crossroad in her life.
Though the 'Baywatch' icon, 57, dazzled with glamour in the widely discussed film, Anderson has embraced a more understated approach in her personal life, prioritizing a natural and effortless style.
Calista Flockhart's solo life in NYC sparks relationship speculation
Beyond the beauty debate, Flockhart’s personal life is also under scrutiny. The actress has reportedly relocated to New York City for her off-Broadway role, while husband Harrison Ford remains in Los Angeles. Their time apart now stretching close to three months due to her play’s extended run has fueled speculation about trouble in their 14-year marriage.
Despite living separately, sources say Flockhart is thriving in the Big Apple.
“Calista is absolutely loving it,” an insider revealed. “She loves the crisp winter air, the cozy coffee shops, her cast-mates and getting back to her theater roots.”
Due to high demand, Flockhart’s play has extended its run until April 6, keeping her separated from the movie star for at least another month.
“When Calista signed on to do the play, it was meant to end in March,” an insider shared. “These extra dates mean she'll have been gone almost three months by the time she's done. It's the longest stretch of time that she and Harrison will have been apart for.”
Ford, 82, and Flockhart, who wed in 2010, have long been known for keeping their relationship private.
