They are both international sex symbols with colourful pasts.

So it was something of a clash of the titans when Pamela Anderson posed up with Kim Kardashian at the Vivienne Westwood And Juergen Teller exhibition opening in New York on Wednesday.

The dynamic duo were grinning like Cheshire cats as they posed alongside the fashion designer’s husband Andreas Kronthaler at the showpiece New York Fashion Week event.

The 50-year-old bombshell arguably outshone her younger rival in a blazer, which she combined with an adventurously tight pair of leather hotpants and high heels,

She was also wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words, ‘Character = a bag of tools. Use it, follow your interest, become who you are.’

Much like 36-year-old Kim, Pamela was the surgically enhanced sex bomb of her time, and the dynamic duo have even both appeared in Playboy, though the Barb Wire star has appeared on more covers of the magazine than any other model.

The 90s favourite also starred in a television hit of her own, though the network hit Baywatch, in which she played sexy lifeguard CJ Parker, had rather more viewers than Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Indeed, at one time the David Hasselhoff vehicle was the most watched TV show in the world.

In addition it was a drama show, while KUWTK is, of course, a true-to-life reality television show.

The pair also have a couple other notable things in common, with just one example being the fact they have both been married to famous musicians.

The event itself was celebrating the long-time collaboration of designer Vivienne Westwood and photographer Juergen Teller.

Speaking about her partnership with her long-time snapper Vivienne said: ‘Juergen’s got something very rare.

‘He gets to the root of the matter every time when he takes a photograph.’

As well as a huge selection of images, the show explores the campaigns and collections Vivienne and Juergen created together.

The show is open at 14 E. 55th Street in New York until October.
