The star wore nearly 200 carats of white and pink lab-grown diamonds by Pandora

Pamela Anderson made a dazzling Met Gala debut.

For her very first appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute Gala, the '90s icon, author and activist looked ethereal in a chiffon gown by Oscar de la Renta, Noel Stewart faux leather headpiece and glittering Pandora jewels.

The pink and white diamond accessories contained nearly 200 carats, marking Pandora's debut of pink diamonds. Her necklace was the standout element of the look, as the double chain draped down her back.

The rest of Anderson's look was also designed with the icon's unique style in mind. Her glam, courtesy of legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath herself, broke her recent makeup-free streak while still being fresh, glowy and natural.

Her long, blonde hair was styled into an effortless '90s-style updo done by hairstylist Orlando Pita.

In a behind-the-scenes video shared with PEOPLE, the Baywatch alum initially has three diamond necklaces around her neck before the Pandora team switches things up by draping two strands of diamonds over her shoulder for a chic, unexpected twist.

In a close-up shot of her makeup application, Anderson has a pinky nude lip color dabbed onto her lips with a finger to create a soft blotted look. She also has a smattering of glitter freckles across her face, adding to the fairy-like vibe.

Unsurprisingly, Anderson's ensemble ties into a cause she's passionate about — sustainability. Her jewelry was made with lab-grown diamonds, showcasing Pandora's commitment to reducing their carbon footprint.

“I'm in a very freeing space right now where I have the opportunity to enjoy beauty and fashion on my own terms in pieces created with Pandora especially for me,” Anderson said via a press release shared with PEOPLE. “There is always an allure in finding new ways to approach style while reducing harm to our environment - to be adorned in diamonds is opulent, and for these diamonds to be produced sustainably, it is innovative and exciting, so I get the best of both worlds.”

Additionally, the statement shares that Anderson's custom jewelry "evoked the freshness of the morning dew in her garden, with its organic mix of solid settings, a modern chain layer, and varying cuts and sizes of excellent cut white and pink lab-grown diamonds."

If the subtle playfulness of Anderson's look wasn't apparent on the red carpet, it certainly was in the videos the star later shared to Instagram. In two separate clips, she frolics through the Met Museum and then what appears to be Central Park, the flowy train of her gown billowing around her.
