She recently enjoyed a tropical vacation on St. Barthélemy last week with her son Dylan Jagger Lee.
But Pamela Anderson was back in the US on Monday when she was spotted running errands in coastal Malibu.
The 55-year-old blonde beauty kept her look casual, yet chic thanks to her all-white outfit.
She went low-key with a simple white T-shirt, which she paired with relaxed jeans that were rolled up at the hems.
The Baywatch star completed her ensemble with simple white flip flops, and she accessorized with a beige mesh tote to carry some of her purchases.

Pamela’s iconic long blonde locks were parted in the middle and fluttered in the wind in thick waves.
She covered her face, which appeared to have minimal makeup, with cool black cat-eye sunglasses.
Despite being an instantly recognizable figure, she chose to go out on her own while stocking up on supplies.
The Monday before, Pamela was spotted enjoying the sun and surf in St. Barths where her son Dylan was. However, she also turned out to be accompanied by a rugged mysterious man.
Renewed attention came to the news after the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy focused on a painful period in her life when a sex tape she made with her ex-husband Tommy Lee was released to the world without their knowledge or consent.
The series starred Lily James as Pam and Sebastian Stan as Tommy, with Seth Rogen playing the disgruntled worker who stole their safe containing the footage, while Parks And Recreations Nick Offerman and Taylor Schilling from Orange Is The New Black also had major roles.
But Pam didn’t approve of the series repeating those bad days, and the focus on the sex tape felt particularly bad to her, as she claimed she never made a dime from it.
Speaking to her and Tommy’s son Brandon Lee, 26, during a New York City screening of the new Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story in February, she said people have refused to believe they’d never be reimbursed for the tape. could have, despite its popularity.
“I don’t think anyone wanted to believe it,” she said during talkback IndieWire. “Besides, we just let it go.”
According to the actress, she and Tommy decided it was best for her mental and physical health to stop getting fair compensation.

“After the statements and all the craziness — and I was pregnant with Dylan — we didn’t want to put any more pressure on the baby. Tommy and I just said, “F*** them, karma, whatever,” we just left it out. We really tried to leave it in the past.
“So we didn’t do a press tour to talk about the money we didn’t get. That was just dirty money. We didn’t want it. And we ended up OK,” she said.
Pam’s claim that she never received any payment is surprising, given that she and Tommy were victorious in multiple lawsuits over the sex tape.
However, it’s possible that the distributor never paid despite being instructed to pay the couple because the company went bankrupt.
The tape was stolen in 1995 by Rand Gauthier, an electrician who had been doing work on the couple’s home. After Tommy refused to pay him for the work he did, he stole a huge safe from their garage.
It was only after he had a chance to go through the contents that he learned that the sex tape footage had been stashed in the safe.
The tape was later obtained by Seth Warshavsky, who initially streamed the video online, before attempting to set up a distribution deal with Pamela and Tommy.
The pair eventually signed the deal to ease their stress over lawsuits, but the deal — which Pam reportedly thought would limit distribution to online — ended up being much broader than she thought.

After the deal was signed, Warshavsky then licensed the video to a video company to print physical copies for sale in adult stores.
Sales of the tape reportedly raised hundreds of millions of dollars, but none of that money went back to Pam and Tommy.
According to Weekly entertainment, the pair then filed a copyright suit for the physical distribution. Because they made the tape together – and not just acted in it – they were considered the copyright holders.
The pair eventually got $740,000 each in a judgment against Warshavsky, but he reportedly paid neither of them.
