t appears Carmen Electra needs some help in the style department. The former Baywatch star was pictured in Los Angeles sporting an unsightly multi-coloured dress - leaving onlookers to conclude she is better suited to her day job - taking her clothes off. The topless model - who recently drew plenty of gasps when she turned from singing to stripping in a burlesque show in Las Vegas - seemed to love the unflattering outfit however as she happily posed for pictures.

But compared to rock star fiancee Rob Patterson, who wore an Iron Maiden t-shirt and turned up trousers, the curvy star looked fit for the catwalk. Carmen, who replaced Spice Girl Mel B as the guest star at Crazy Horse Paris show at the MGM Grand showed her killer curves to the full by going fully topless.

First she prowled around in a pair of suspenders on a sofa shaped like a pair of lips before stripping down to a pair of nipple tassels in a cage. And then as part of a jaw-dropping final act with a troupe of bewigged dancers wearing petals over their nipples, she bared her assets. Electra is 37 now and said it had always been her dream to appear in a Vegas show.

Of course, as a former Playboy centrefold many times over, this is not the first time she has shown off her figure in all its glory. She said: 'For me, my heart is really here,' she said during rehearsals. “I hope I can come back to Vegas. 'I love this show and I love the live audience.'
