Carmen Electra is dusting off her fishnets for a Playboy encore.
The 54-year-old model and media personality first appeared in the magazine in May 1996 — and 30 years later, she’s back in its infamous pages.
For the summer 2026 issue, on sale July 28, Electra steps in as Playboy Advisor to field readers’ questions about love, confidence and reinvention.
Photographed by Max Montgomery, she poses on all fours atop a plastic-covered green couch and crawls on a matching shag carpet, clad in a fishnet catsuit, stiletto heels and a corset belt.
In other shots, she layers a studded leather bra over a black net dress, accessorizing with a leather fisherman cap and a glittering Playboy bunny necklace.
She appears in the issue alongside cover star Cara Delevingne, the first out lesbian on a Playboy print cover, who models a latex corset and nothing else.
As for the advice, Electra doesn’t hold back. Asked whether a newly divorced reader should chase the reckless spirit of her early 20s, she writes, “Who cares about being a cliché? Go for it.”
Her take on what a man should give up after 40 is even simpler: “Nothing. Nothing at all. Keep it young, keep it fun, keep it hot, right?”
She credits Prince — who discovered her and gave her the stage name “Carmen Electra” — with the nerve to reinvent herself. “He gave me a lot of confidence,” she says, noting she recently made the moniker legal.
The longtime Playboy fixture has racked up more than 150 covers worldwide, and last year she rekindled her relationship with the brand through a Von Dutch x Playboy campaign.
Aside from her OnlyFans career, Electra also appears in “Scary Movie 6,” out now in theaters, and in 2023 reunited with fellow ’90s icon with Jenny McCarthy for a Skims swim campaign.
