How many more bikinis did you pack, Carmen?

In her Baywatch days Carmen Electra made do with one costume - a red swimsuit.

But the actress decided she needed no fewer than four for one afternoon on the beach in Malibu.

Electra, 35, frolicked in the sea and showed off a swirly purple bikini, a gingham number with a flower pattern, a blue and white striped one and a white one with a black stripe.

She also posed with a range of accessories - Yorkshire terriers, babies... and a clutch of her girlfriends for a group shot.
