Pamela Anderson looked stunning at the special screening of The Last Showgirl at The 92nd Street Y in New York City on Tuesday.

The 57-year-old actress put on an elegant display in a white button-down shirt, which she tucked into a linen midi skirt.

She added inches to her height as she sported nude, suede pumps with a tall stiletto heel.

She opted out of any accessories or jewelry for an understated, clean look.

The Baywatch star — who opened up about her turbulent relationship with her parents — slicked back her platinum blonde hair into a low ponytail and showcased her bare-faced beauty.

At the venue, she joined director Gia Coppola for a special screening of The Last Showgirl and for a live recording of Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast.

The former Playboy model and Coppola spoke about the nuances of crafting her character Shelly, a Las Vegas showgirl facing an uncertain future.

For the special occasion, Coppola — the granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola — donned a blue button-down blouse, a black blazer jacket and straight-leg jeans.

She also opened up about making her return to Hollywood more than 30 years after she first appeared in Baywatch.

She explained how she channeled elements of her own life to play a glamorous, seasoned showgirl, who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.

The Last Showgirl, which was initially released on September 6, also stars Dave Bautista, Kiernan Shipka, Brenda Song, Billie Lourd, Jamie Lee Curtis and many more.

Over the weekend, Anderson joined her co-star Curtis and Coppola and spoke about how she got the role in a conversation with Entertainment Weekly .

Once Anderson got her hands on Kate Gersten's script, she said she was instantly drawn to the character, who takes her art form very seriously despite everyone reducing her to a sexual object.

'I've never read a script that I responded to like that before — no one was sending me anything like this,' she said. 'I read it and I thought, I have to do this. It's life or death. It's really important.'

At the movie's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival back in September, she said she's 'been getting ready my whole life for this role.'

'Having a beautiful, messy life is something incredible to draw from, and sometimes I'll look back on my life and think, I could have done this differently, but you need the life experience to be able to look back and say those things,' she said.

'I do love the craft of acting and I have taken a lot of private lessons and, finally, I felt like this is an opportunity for me to put that into practice,' she added.

Anderson added that she was able to have 'a thousand percent focus' on the project since she's single and her two sons are grown.

'I have nothing to lose. And what if this is the last movie I ever do, or the only movie I ever do?'

She said she took the role as a chance to 'see what I'm made of.'

'I knew I was capable of more than I'd done in the past, and I kind of had given up and went home and thought, "Oh well, it's too bad. I screwed up." I didn't work hard enough or people just see me a certain way because I fell into the trappings,' she said.

'I want to be defined by what I do and not what has been done to me.'
