Pamela Anderson knows how to make an entrance — and an exit.

The “Last Showgirl” actress, 59, was all smiles at the Kering Foundation Caring For Women Dinner Thursday night in a slinky black Gucci dress ($4,800) with a deceptively demure front.

From the side, a hip-high slit showed a flash of stiletto-clad leg, and the rear view revealed an open back.

The long-sleeve jersey gown made its debut on the Gucci runway for fall 2026, artistic director Demna’s first for the Italian house.

Anderson seemingly took a cue from the show and styled hers with sheer black stockings, glossy pointed pumps and a glittering clutch. She made the look her own with soft platinum blond curls and glowing, barely-there makeup.

The mom of two — whose eldest son, Brandon Thomas Lee, announced his engagement to girlfriend Katarina Demetriades this week — just returned from a whirlwind trip to Italy for the Venice Film Festival.

The LBD is a dark departure from her red carpet looks on the Lido, which included punchy coral Oscar de la Renta, pumpkin orange Calvin Klein Collection and a Carolina Herrera gown in glowing marigold.

She was in town premiering “Place to Be,” a road trip movie co-starring 93-year-old Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi.

Thursday’s event, which kicked off New York Fashion Week, also brought out stars like Dakota Johnson, Salma Hayek and Paris Hilton — all, naturally, wearing Kering-owned brands including Gucci, Valentino and Balenciaga. The fifth-annual gala benefits organizations working to end gender-based violence, with past editions raising millions for the cause.
