Carmen Electra sizzles in kinky dog-collar look as she teases new home move

Carmen Electra, 53, posted a string of photos and videos to Instagram this week, showing off a bold, pinup-inspired look that drew attention online. The former Baywatch star wore a black leather corset with spaghetti straps, fishnets and very short denim shorts, paired with towering black stilettos and a dog collar. She posed on a plush scarlet sofa, continuing a long-running thread of glamour and provocation that has kept her in the public eye as she ages.

She also revealed that she is bidding farewell to the scarlet couch that has appeared in numerous moments across her career and personal life. In the captions accompanying the latest set, Electra said she is moving to a new house and letting the sofa go. She added that the color red, for her, represents motion, emotion and memory, and she noted the pieces of her life the couch has witnessed—from laughter to late nights.

The images also included a moment with Drea De Matteo, the Sopranos alum who later found popularity on OnlyFans. De Matteo, now 53, has spoken publicly about financial hardship and opportunistic moves that followed her TV success, including a shift to online platforms.

Electra has spoken in the past about the intense spotlight on body image during the Baywatch era. In interviews promoting a retrospective of her work, she recalled that producers sometimes encouraged weight loss during the 1990s, though she said there was never a formal weigh-in on set. The longtime entertainer has since discussed how she navigates expectations while maintaining her fitness and public profile.

In discussing health and routine, Electra described an approach focused on balance. She has described starting days with a smoothie rich in berries and greens, followed by protein and vegetables for lunches and dinners, and allowing herself a weekly cheat day. She has said maintaining a healthy plan is about managing cravings without being overly restrictive, and that consistency and exercise are central to her approach.

The posts reflect Electra’s ongoing strategy of using social media to stay connected with fans and shape her public narrative beyond traditional projects. As culture and entertainment continue to intersect with platforms like Instagram and OnlyFans, Electra’s experiences illustrate how veteran performers adapt to changing media landscapes while continuing to cultivate their iconic image.
