Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy wow fans as they model swimwear for Skims
Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy have reunited for a new advertisement campaign, which has been met with praise over a photoshoot promoted on social media.
The two models - who both rose to fame in the '90s and posed for Playboy during that decade - feature in the new campaign for Kim Kardashian's shapewear brand Skims.
They are seen modelling various pieces from the brand's latest swimwear collection in the ads, alongside taglines such as: "Everybody's wearing SKIMS this summer".
Carmen, 51, and Jenny, 50, took part in a photoshoot for the campaign, with photos and footage from it having now been shared on social media to promote the collection.
The pair are seen sporting a few different outfits in the photos, including a "swim triangle top" and "tie bottoms" which are priced at £38 and £36 each respectively.
