Carmen Electra, 54, Strips Down for Playboy Return After 30 Years

Carmen Electra is back in the spotlight, slipping into fishnets for a Playboy comeback that’s sure to turn heads.

At 54, she revisits the pages of the magazine where she first graced the cover in May 1996, marking a staggering 30-year gap since her debut.

The summer 2026 issue, hitting shelves on July 28, features Electra as the Playboy Advisor, tackling readers' burning questions about love, confidence, and the art of reinvention.

In a striking photoshoot by Max Montgomery, Electra poses provocatively on all fours atop a plastic-covered green couch, crawling across a matching shag carpet. She dons a fishnet catsuit, stiletto heels, and a corset belt that accentuates her figure.

Other images showcase her in a studded leather bra layered over a black net dress, topped off with a leather fisherman cap and a sparkling Playboy bunny necklace.

Electra shares the issue with cover star Cara Delevingne, who makes history as the first out lesbian to appear on a Playboy print cover, modeling a daring latex corset and nothing else.

Electra's advice is unapologetic. When asked if a newly divorced reader should embrace the wild spirit of her youth, she boldly states, “Who cares about being a cliché? Go for it.”

Her perspective on what men should relinquish after turning 40 is equally straightforward: “Nothing. Nothing at all. Keep it young, keep it fun, keep it hot, right?”

She attributes her fearless reinvention to Prince, who discovered her and bestowed upon her the name “Carmen Electra.” “He gave me a lot of confidence,” she reveals, adding that she recently made the name legal.

A staple of Playboy, Electra boasts over 150 covers worldwide. Last year, she reignited her connection with the brand through a Von Dutch x Playboy campaign.

Beyond her OnlyFans venture, Electra stars in “Scary Movie 6,” currently in theaters, and reunited with fellow ’90s icon Jenny McCarthy for a Skims swim campaign in 2023.
