Lily James and Pamela Anderson were both present at Versace’s fall/winter show on Thursday after Baywatch slammed the actress’ portrayal on the controversial Hulu series Pam & Tommy
The Baywatch bombshell, 55, wore a statement shimmering black fringed jacket and matching mini skirt that showed off her toned legs.
Meanwhile, the British actress, 33, donned a plunging black dress that showed off her ample cleavage and featured a cheeky slit down the front.
It comes after Anderson criticized James’s portrayal of her in Pam & Tommy and refused to watch the show, saying it felt like a “Halloween costume”, Lily and Sebastian Stan as her and ex-Tommy Lee, 60, seen in disguise.
The series dramatizes the creation and subsequent theft of her infamous sex tape with her rocker ex-husband, made while they were on their honeymoon.

The Barb Wire star added extra height to her look with a pair of pointy black heels.
The ’90s superstar wore her blonde locks in a chic updo and donned black sunglasses for the occasion.
Meanwhile, James wore a pair of heels and showed off her black pedicure. The beauty had her brunette tresses parted in the middle and styled straight for the event.
As for the glamour, she opted for smokey eye makeup and a mauve lipstick.
Inside the event, James mingled with actress Ariana DeBose, 32, who wowed in a black fishnet dress. The beauty later took her place alongside Everything Everywhere All at Once star Ke Huy Quan, 51, who looked dapper in a navy suit.
Anderson delved into her dislike of the Pam & Tommy miniseries, which also starred Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, several times, including in a January interview with Howard Stern.
James and Stan play the eponymous couple at the height of their romance in Pam & Tommy, when Pamela was a Baywatch star and Tommy was the drummer for Motley Crüe.
Pamela admitted she felt “run over” after allegedly finding out about the show through an ad, which chronicles their three-year marriage and has a heavy focus on the sextape.

The star claimed to Stern that she was never contacted about the series. Worse, she told Stern that — based on what friends told her — she didn’t think James’ or Stan’s performances were particularly accurate.
She said: “I remember seeing that commercial for Pam & Tommy and I was like, what? Nobody called me, I’m still alive, nobody asked me, it’s none of my business.’
“I felt kind of overwhelmed by it. I don’t think they portrayed Tommy or me 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 had called.”
And while she was happy to share her dislike for the show, during an interview with Variety, Pamela stressed that she’s fine with Lily playing her.
“I think it’s hard to play someone if you don’t know the whole picture. I have nothing against Lily James. I think she’s a beautiful girl and was just doing her job,” Pamela said.
“But the idea of this all happening was just really devastating to me,” she added. Pamela also called the show’s creators “A**holes.”
Meanwhile, Lily shared that she was trying to reach out to Anderson and wanted her to be involved in the process.
“I had high hopes that she would be there. I wish it was different,” she said in an interview with Net-a-Porter last year.
“I had high hopes that we would keep in touch until filming began… My only intention was to take care of the story and play Pamela authentically.”
After the show’s final episode aired in March 2022, the series received critical acclaim, earning a total of ten Primetime Emmy nominations and four Golden Globe nominations.
