Pamela Anderson oozed elegance as she stepped out in a flowing black maxi skirt and crisp box shirt, proving once again she can do sophisticated as well as sultry.

The former Baywatch star, 58, looked every inch the Hollywood icon as she unveiled a cabin sign on Saturday, as a tribute for her career.

Taking pride of place along the Promenade des Planches of the 51th Deauville American Film Festival, Pamela beamed from ear to ear as she stood next to the white painted stand, which had her name printed across the top.

The blonde bombshell opted for an elegant black maxi skirt and short sleeve top by ME+EM for the occasion, which she buttoned to the top for added effect.

The cropped top showed off Pamela's petite frame expertly and she added a pair of simple black heels and black sunglasses to top off her elegant look.

It comes after the actress addressed the speculation about her close bond with her The Naked Gun co-star Liam Neeson, 73.

The pair have sparked headlines since promoting their latest film together, but on Friday night, Pamela shut down the PR stunt rumours.

Dressed in a strapless black floor-length ensemble, while accepting the Deauville 2025 Talent Award at the Deauville American Film Festival, Pamela had no qualms in reminding the crowd that she is as comfortable on the red carpet, as she is shutting down the gossip mill.

She declared: 'I do not and will never feed into PR stunts. That would be a death sentence. I'm authentically driven.'

While some have questioned their chemistry, insiders close to the pair insist their connection is the real deal. 

In late August a source told Daily Mail that the two A-listers have a 'genuine' connection and that claims that their feelings for each other are fake and just a PR stunt are 'ridiculous.' 

It was added that 'everything between them has been genuine. Neither would ever take part in a publicity stunt. They have a great time. Neither of them needs the publicity.' 

Pamela herself echoed that sentiment, stressing she keeps her love life private saying on stage: 'I'm superstitious when it comes to love. And I'm not comfortable sharing any shred of my romantic life.'

The former Baywatch star continued: 'I know I'll fall in love again and again on screen. That is my job. If we do it well, you will feel it, a kind of projection. It is the greatest compliment.

'So please think positive. And I appreciate your good wishes. There are no silly games being played. I am sincere. Do not mistake my kindness for weakness or my boldness for bitterness.'

The actress - whose high-profile past loves with rocker Tommy Lee and Kid Rock were tabloid staples - first sparked a romance buzz with Liam when they were spotted being affectionate while promoting their comedy in New York City and London.

'Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive,' an insider told Daily Mail at the time.

'She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs,' the person added.

The source noted that they had managed to keep the long-distance romance private by spending time at her house in Canada.

The film festival announced Pamela as this year's honoree on August 21, with Isabelle Huppert virtually presenting the star with the award. 

A press released praised her as a figure 'who has combined her work as an actress with a passionate commitment to philanthropy and advocacy, leaving a lasting mark on the cultural imagination.'

The iconic actress said on Friday: 'I realise how lucky I am and I'm grateful to be a part of pop culture,' according to an account from People. 

She went on to say: 'It is a blessing and also maybe a bit of a curse.  It undermines the goal. One has the cultivated mystique, which is invaluable to a film actor. 

'It was important to me at this juncture to shake things up, twist perceptions so I can be free to paint upon a blank canvas time and again with each new undertaking.'
