Carmen Electra, 53, sizzles in red-hot Instagram post with dog collar, fishnets and leather corset

Carmen Electra, 53, posted a series of sultry images and clips to Instagram this week, featuring her in a black leather corset with spaghetti straps, fishnets, Daisy Dukes and towering black stilettos. A dog collar completed the provocative look as she posed on a plush scarlet sofa, part of a broader run of posts that leaned into her long-running image as a sex symbol from the 1990s.

Electra described bidding farewell to her red couch in a caption accompanying the photos, writing that she is moving to a new house and letting the piece go. "Red is more than a color; it’s motion, emotion, memory. This couch has carried laughter, late nights and more than a few unforgettable moments. I’m sure some of you were part of those memories," she said.

The collection of images also includes a shot of Electra with Drea De Matteo, the Sopranos veteran who later built a following on OnlyFans. De Matteo, 53, has spoken publicly about her own career trajectory after The Sopranos ended, including a period when she faced financial hardship before launching an OnlyFans page that helped her recover from foreclosure. The image set underscores Electra’s ongoing ties to a circle of peers from the era who have since rebuilt or redirected their careers in new media.

Electra’s past remarks on Baywatch-era expectations are also reflected in the notes accompanying her posts. In a 2023 retelling, she recalled that during the 1990s, while she was in her 20s, she was told to lose weight. "I never had a weigh-in, but I was told sometimes I was too heavy," she said in promotion for After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun.

Earlier interviews also reveal her approach to diet and fitness. In a profile with Women’s Fitness, Electra described a routine built around a morning smoothie with strawberries, acai, protein, spinach, wheat grass, goji berries and other fruits and vegetables, followed by lunch and dinner centered on protein and vegetables or sushi. "Some days, I eat whatever I want as long as I’m exercising enough. My biggest struggle is my cravings for sweets, but I’ve learned to take it easy on myself and get the cravings out of the way so I don’t obsess over them," she said. "My ultimate goal is to eat healthy all week and have Sunday as my cheat day where I can eat as much as I want and whatever I want."

Electra’s public persona over the years has blended entertainment nostalgia with ongoing social-media relevance, and her posts this week have kept her at the center of a broader conversation about former television icons and their evolving careers in digital media. The star’s career began in the mid-1990s with Baywatch, where she rose to fame opposite David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, and she has since maintained a steady presence across film, television and online platforms. The posts also reference her stage name, which she has said was chosen by her former partner, Prince, reinforcing her connection to pop culture history as she looks ahead to new chapters in her life and career.
