We might not see superstar Carmen Electra in new TV shows or movies much anymore, but don’t worry — her Instagram is keeping us updated with all of her latest activities. And from a recent night out on the town, we have plenty of photos to check out. The 49-year-old model/actress walked the red carpet at the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 22, where she certainly got our attention.

The How to Be Sexy author seemingly attended the event alone, where all eyes were on her as she showed off her unique outfit. Electra went for all black for the red carpet, rocking an extra-long, super sheer, sleeveless gown. The celeb wore simple straightened hair, long silver earrings, and a small black handbag. The best part of her look, however, was the amount of rhinestones her dress had.

With her gown being see-through, Electra’s belly button was clearly exposed, but our eyes are focused on all the pretty rhinestones throughout her look. She posed at home ahead of the event in front of her staircase, making sure to get the lighting just right before striking a professional model pose. Check out her Instagram post here. In another post, Electra twirled around to show off her stunning outfit.

To see Electra’s full look from the iHeartRadio Music Awards, check out some of photos from the red carpet below.

Of course, we’re expecting a gown like Electra’s to cost a pretty penny, and it looks fantastic on her. But if you’re on a budget and want to channel the celebrity’s vibe with something reasonable in price, we have some items you might want to check out!

Though we couldn’t find a dupe that looks exactly like Electra’s gown, we did find some great outfits that match the same sparkly vibe. If you’re looking for something inexpensive, SHEIN has some fun options. Check out their Rhinestone Insert Mesh Bodycon Dress for $32.00, or their Contrast Sequins Transparent Shoulder Strap Fuzzy Split Thigh Lace Dress for $27.00. The site’s Glitter Sheer Mesh Cover Up for $14.00 would also look great over a bathing suit this summer.
