A New Look
Carmen has a new wardrobe and it’s garnering a lot of attention. In the post, she wears a provocative black leather corset, cut-off denim shorts, and black fishnets. Black stilettos complete the outfit. The best part? A spiked black leather dog collar, hinting at an S&M inspiration. Her blond hair is styled in waves, with sultry makeup accentuating her already perfect features. Present in many photos is a plus scarlet sofa, which holds a deeper significance for the actress.
A Change in Scenery
Not only is the Instagram post a statement of her enduring looks, but it is also a homage to a piece of furniture. Carmen is moving to a new home soon, and her beloved red couch is not coming with her. When referencing the piece of furniture, Carmen sees the red as “motion, emotion, memory,” and the countless memories, including “laughter, late nights, and more.” The couch’s history is well-represented in the photos, including one with fellow actress Drea De Matteo, who appeared in The Sopranos.
While the two are close friends, they have led very different Hollywood paths. Carmen has been able to stay relevant in the industry, though she faced some pressures. De Matteo, on the other hand, struggled financially after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. Losing out on many role opportunities, it got to a point where she had just $10 in her bank account, and she nearly lost her home. However, by diving into the world of OnlyFans, De Matteo found a new outlet to make money in, and has since regained her financial stability.
Industry Pressures
Carmen’s industry pressures were a little different. During Baywatch, she was told by several bosses to lose weight, even though she wasn’t overweight and was fit for her twenties. In an interview while promoting After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, Carmen touched upon this moment in her career. “They would come up to you and say: ‘You need to lose some pounds’ or ‘You need to lose some weight.'” Despite outside pressures, Carmen continued her diet and workout regimen to stay fit and healthy in her body.
In another interview, this time with Women Fitness, Carmen talked about her routine to keep her body in top shape. The morning starts with a nutrient-dense smoothie with strawberries, acai, protein, spinach, wheatgrass, goji berries, and other superfoods. The rest of the day is spread between a mixture of protein, vegetables, salads, or sushi. Carmen does allow some indulgences, especially with her sweet tooth. This is resolved with working out and a weekly “cheat day.”
Showing a New Type of Confidence
Carmen’s photoshoot has revealed many things about the actress. From her ageless beauty to a bold fashion choice, she continues to shake up the script when it comes to aging. Along with her corset and shorts outfit, Carmen sported rubber underwear, leather arm braces, and a sheer mesh top in other photos. Knee-high boots completed the dominatrix-esque look, with the actress captioning the images with “Birthday presents for yoooou!”
The post immediately got praise from followers, commenting endlessly on her beauty and fearless style. It just goes to show how well Carmen is navigating aging while still embracing new and exciting fashion choices to cultivate her personal brand.
Taking time to honor her red couch isn’t the only thing Carmen achieved with her newest Instagram posts. Her display of confidence and glamour proves her enduring impact as an actress and influential figure within the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood.
