As a fashion writer, it’s essential to stay updated on celebrity trends. After all, keeping up with these styles is a key part of the job!
Every day, I carefully review the latest celebrity outfits to find the most newsworthy styles. By spending so much time analyzing their looks, I’ve created a personal shortlist of stars who always get it right. One recent addition to this list is actor Pamela Anderson. Her refined and polished silhouettes, paired with subtle nods to current trends, never fail to grab my attention.
This week, during the press tour for her latest film, The Last Showgirl, she showcased a series of stunning outfits that perfectly embodied her effortless take on elevated dressing. While her chic monochromatic looks stood out, it was a subtle yet striking accessory trend in two of her outfits that truly caught my eye: 10-denier sheer tights.
This hosiery trend, which rose to fame in the 1980s, was a natural fit for the decade’s polished, professional aesthetic. Paired with power suits, pencil skirts, and structured dresses, 10-denier tights were the final touch that made every outfit feel effortlessly refined. However, after its peak in the ’80s, the trend began to decline in the late ’90s and early 2000s as fashion shifted. While the 2010s embraced patterned and nude hosiery, black semi-sheer tights mostly faded into the background.
While 10-denier tights have never truly gone “out,” their resurgence stands out after a season filled with thicker, colorful, and patterned styles. Their delicate semi-sheer finish adds a touch of understated sophistication to any outfit. However, their low denier makes them more prone to snags, so investing in a high-quality pair is crucial to avoid mishaps and keep them in top condition. By pairing hers with all-black ensembles, Anderson’s minimalist styling allowed this quietly elegant accessory to shine even more.
