Carmen Electra (54) is returning to "Playboy": 30 years after her first shoot, the actress is posing for the US magazine again. For the summer edition, the "Baywatch" star was photographed by Max Montgomery. The 54-year-old poses in a mesh catsuit, a leather corset, and black platform stilettos on a couch, among other things. Additional shots show her in a studded leather top, a mesh dress, as well as with a leather balloon cap and high heels. Smokey eyes complete the looks.

First "Playboy" shoot at 24 years old

In addition to the photo spread, Electra also answered questions from readers. One reader wanted to know from her whether she should reinvent herself - after all, Electra, whose real name is Tara Leigh Patrick, once changed her name. The late musician Prince (1958-2016) gave her the stage name Carmen Electra. Since 2024, she has also officially carried it. "Yes, you should definitely reinvent yourself and change your name if you don't like it", Electra advised in the column. She herself feels more confident with her name.

Electra made her first appearance in "Playboy" at age 24 in the May 1996 issue. Shortly after, her breakthrough came as Lani McKenzie in the cult series "Baywatch". After that, she starred in the "Scary Movie" franchise, among others, and took on guest roles in various series.
