As someone who grew up in the ‘90s, I can attest to the fact that there was simply no party that looked cooler than MTV Spring Break. Is there even anything on the 2025 TV schedule that compares? I don’t think so. Carmen Electra definitely remembers the good old days, as she kicked off spring with a throwback to a viral moment from 25 years ago, and I am dying over her rhinestone belly button sticker.
Every decade has its distinctive fashion choices, and the aughts were no different. Carmen Electra gave me a shot of nostalgia when she posted a video from MTV Spring Break in 2000 to Instagram, showing off her dance moves, black bikini and a belly trend I’d allowed myself to forget:
From that hairstyle all the way down to her chunky platform heels, Carmen Electra screamed “noughties” literally from head to toe when she rocked out on stage with Lit to their 1999 chart-topper “My Own Worst Enemy.” If there was any doubt, though, which decade we were in, one only needed to look down at the Baywatch star’s glittering midriff to get those Y2K vibes.
