Carmen Electra: She can do better.
When did Carmen Electra turn into the drag queen version of herself? Why she decided to go darker is beyond me, it might be for a role in a straight to video flop or Lifetime movie of the week. And in that movie, she plays a boring and struggling mother of 3 who just doesn't have access to a good hair colorist. . . and her husband beats her or embezzles from a call girl ring. Or it might be that Carmen sees her 35th birthday on the horizon, and is hanging up her beach bikini and sun-kissed hair. Don't give up just yet, Carmen. Who knows how many Scary Movie sequels they'll need you for.
What suprises me is that darker hair usually makes light eyes pop. This may or may not be true for Carmen's usually fantastic green eyes. But with her second best pair of assets hiding behind yards of eyeliner, I can't really tell. But what I can tell is that a blah-blah hair color like this isn't doing this C-movie starlet any favors.

I do think it's the eyeliner that's sinking this look. If she'd laid off that & the tanner, the dark hair probably would have looked dramatic and deliberate rather than lazy & goth.

The dark hair is very pretty and looks natural. I'm sick of the bleached blonde look. I just wish I could start over on my hair and get the same result.

I think you hit the nail on the head. But I have to agree that Carmen looks better in a lighter color. She has a lot to work with and usually has eye popping results whenever she is photographed. This dark look doesn't do much for her though.

I think that her hair is too dark for his skin tone. While it does make her eyes pop (and from this pic they look blue, not green), she would either need to be a bit less tan, or have some darker gold accents through it to take away the overall darkness of her entire ensemble. Dark skin, dark hair, dark dress, dark liner is just a bit too much.

I think she looks great, maybe the critics that DON'T like how she looks are Women and there Jealous. Ahyway who really cares how she looks, to me she is just an average woman. No big deal. without fame she would be no one special.
So get on with your life
