Carmen Electra has still got it.

The 41-year-old bombshell sizzles in the latest issue of FHM and flaunts her enviable figure in some white-hot lingerie on the glossy cover. Electra is also the oldest cover girl in the magazine's history.

"I feel more comfortable now," Electra reveals. "Less nervous. I feel like I'm in a really good place in my life and just being in that space makes you feel sexier."

As for feeling sexy, the brunette beauty explains that it "starts on the inside first."

"I think it's all about embracing yourself," the Baywatch babe says. "I love being on shoots because you can get into the fantasy of it all. I love getting into new outfits, too. Stuff I wouldn't normally wear."

Electra admits that she still has the iconic red swimsuit from the '90s beach drama series—the same one-piece that her co-stars Pamela Anderson and Yasmine Bleeth also donned. Electra's role on Baywatch launched her career and made her a "global pop-culture icon."

"The whole Baywatch experience was just crazy, because it was such a new phenomenon at the time," Electra says. "It was really exciting and I learned a lot working on that show."

FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World is celebrating its 20th birthday this year and will be crowning an all-time winner. And yes, Electra is in the running to nab the highly coveted title.

"Obviously it would be great to win, but there have been so many amazingly sexy girls in FHM over the years," Electra says.

So, who is getting Electra's vote? That would be Beyoncé.

"She's just been so hot for so many years and she looks better than ever now," Electra says. "But it's always fun to see how high you get on the list!"
