PAMELA ANDERSON caused chaos at New York Fashion Week on Wednesday (17Feb= 10) after arriving late to a runway show held in her honour.
The Baywatch babe was invited to be the star guest at designer Richie R= ich’s A*Muse show, featuring clothing inspired by the busty blonde.

A source tells the publication, "She showed up at 9.55 when the show wa= s supposed to start at 9, and press people were there as early as 7 to in= terview her. People were yelling at door handlers and getting incredibly = antsy , especially because the standing room was so packed.
"Some guests started storming out at 9.30, when the start of the show w= as nowhere in sight. They had shut the doors at 8.40 since it was so crow= ded so there were guests on the street who couldn’t get in. They were out= raged." But the actress managed to appease the crowd by donning a sparkly silve= r leotard to strut down the runway for the finale.
And she later laughed off the incident, telling reporters she was late = after changing outfits at her hotel: "I got dressed - well, semi-dressed = - before I got here."
