Pamela and Brandon quickly became the talk of the town, with public reactions forming a spectrum of opinions. Brandon received universal praise for his suave looks, which echoed the charismatic legacy of his father, Tommy Lee.
In contrast, Pamela’s choice to present herself in a natural, unadorned state sparked a flurry of mixed commentary, especially where her hairstyle was concerned.
“She didn’t even get her hair done?!” alerted one social media user, while another asserted, “It’s like she’s purposely trying to look dowdy!” Someone else wrote, “I applaud her ‘natural’ look…But there are natural makeup products…Hair? Be polite, fix up [the] hair a little better?”

Some responses were more critical, highlighting the contrast between the “Barb Wire” star’s iconic image and her current appearance. “She has spent her whole career trying to be glamorous. To see her looking like this is shocking, to say the least. She’s ready to go shopping down at the Walmart,” expressed a user.

However, amidst the divided opinions on Pamela’s look, there was a consensus on Brandon’s appeal, with admirers noting, “They made handsome kids,” and gushing, “Her son is so handsome .”
Many also marveled at the striking resemblance between Brandon—who also shared pictures of the event on his Instagram—and Tommy, with comments like “Brandon looks a lot like his dad,” and “He looks like [his] dad but a better-looking version.”

Though there were many comments expressing dislike for Pamela’s choice to opt for a casual and less glammed-up look, her embrace of a more natural look is not a spur-of-the-moment decision but a reflection of her evolving perspective on beauty and self-presentation.
