True story: When I spotted this shot of Carmen Electra from the set of The Today Show, I actually didn't recognize her.
She looks so different with her hair pulled back in a simple ponytail without her signature heavy eye makeup (like she wore out earlier this week):
*Clearly, the girl is gorgeous no matter what she does, but I'm really into her more natural look! She looks so much fresher and more approachable! And who knew I'd be describing Carmen Electra as a "girl next door" type? *
Here's hoping she keeps this more stripped-down look into her rotation—it's so lovely on her, don't you think?
