Pamela Anderson opted for a wild pair of animal-printed pumps while in attendance at the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony held during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival today in Venice.
The ceremony was held to honor actress Ellen Burstyn, best known for her work in “Requiem for a Dream,” “The Exorcist” and “Flowers in the Attic.” For the prestigious event, Anderson sported a pair of leopard-printed pumps. The shoe choice featured pointed toes and black and white uppers, a departure from your usual brown and black leopard print. Stiletto heels standing at around 3 to 4 inches in height rounded out the printed set. Similar styles to Anderson’s can be found from brands like Nine West, Saint Laurent and Sam Edelman.

Animal-printed shoes are very popular among celebrities, especially for formal occasions like this one. The girls of Katseye, Rihanna, Regina King, Mindy Kaling and Angela Bassett have all worn either leopard or snakeskin shoes as of late, ushering in the fall season. As the weather gets colder, we tend to see more celebrities donning animal-printed styles over summery vibrant hues. These prints usually coincide with textural finishes like suede or mohair.
Alongside her printed pumps, the “Baywatch” actress styled herself in a flowy and dramatic lavender ensemble. The look consisted of a high-neck breezy blouse with balloon sleeves and a boxy fit paired with a more fitted pencil-esque skirt. Anderson’s bottoms featured a slit at the back, allowing for more movement. The thespian further accessorized her outfit with a coordinating crescent-shaped lavender bag and cat-eye sunglasses with turtleshell frames.
