Carmen Electra appears in Playboy summer 2026 issue

Carmen Electra appears in the summer 2026 issue of Playboy, on sale July 28. The 54-year-old model and media personality first appeared in the magazine in May 1996. She poses in fishnets, stilettos, and black leather.

In one image she wears a fishnet catsuit, stiletto heels, and a corset belt. In others she layers a studded leather bra over a black net dress and wears a leather fisherman cap and a glittering Playboy bunny necklace. Electra also acts as Playboy Advisor, answering reader questions about love, confidence, and reinvention.

When asked whether a newly divorced reader should chase the reckless spirit of her early 20s, she writes, "Who cares about being a cliché? " She states that a man should give up nothing after 40. "Nothing.

Nothing at all. " she writes. Electra credits Prince with giving her the confidence to reinvent herself. She notes that she recently made the stage name he gave her legally official. She appears in the same issue as cover star Cara Delevingne, who models a latex corset.

Electra has appeared on more than 150 Playboy covers worldwide. She recently worked with the brand on a Von Dutch x Playboy campaign. She also appears in "Scary Movie 6," now in theaters, and reunited with Jenny McCarthy for a Skims swim campaign in 2023.
