Minnie Driver has joined the growing number of Hollywood stars going fresh-faced.

'The Serpent Queen' actress, 54, showed off make-up free selfies online and opened up on Instagram about why she regularly goes "without a scrap" of cosmetics.

She captioned the pictures: "Ok, I'm pretty vain, so posting pictures without a scrap of makeup and un-touched up, are rare.

"The only reason I'm doing it now is because I've been ill, I have felt everyone of my years recently and I'm pretty astonished that my friend Keren can make me look like this: Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wines."

Minnie's fans filled the comments section of her post with praise for her "normalising" the make-up free look.

It comes days after Jamie Lee Curtis honoured Pamela Anderson for going make-up free on red carpets.

The 'Halloween' actress, who turned 66 last week, shared a barefaced picture on her social media to pay tribute to the 57-year-old former Baywatch star's continuing fresh-faced look which she has been sporting on red carpets since last year.

Jamie captioned her image: "Just out of the shower selfie. Honouring @pamelaanderson @lastshowgirl and her no make-up ownership of self.

"Sober. Strong. Steady on."

Jamie was referring to her new film 'The Last Showgirl' in which she stars alongside Pamela.

The actress added about her look: "Just noticed that it looks like I have mascara on, which is clearly a remnant of my workday yesterday. Clearly, mommy didn't wash her face very well."

Jamie was one of Pamela's cheerleaders when the former pin-up went viral for her fresh-faced look at Paris Fashion Week couture shows last year.

Pamela told last year how her decision to go fresh-faced was sparked by the passing of her make-up artist Alexis Vogel, who died in 2019 of breast cancer. She also decided to go "against the grain" by defying a trend for heavy make-up, saying the move felt "freeing, fun and a little rebellious".
