Last week, "Spring Break" celebrated its 25th anniversary, prompting Electra's tribute. The clip shows her strutting onstage and dancing along to a shirtless Kevin Baldes, the frontman of the band Lit.

Electra joined the band's performance of the song "My Own Worst Enemy" and wore a black bikini that she paired with rhinestone stickers around her belly button, a very popular fashion choice of the era

She also shared a photo of her look, which showed a closer look at the rhinestones on her stomach, making the shape of a star, and some dark sunglasses. 

"Spring break baby," Electra captioned the post, adding a black heart. 

"Spring Break" was an annual broadcast that began in 1986 and covered different Spring Break vacations of college students in locations like Florida and Mexico, featuring notable performances from some of the era's biggest musical acts and celebrities.

Carmen Electra's tough journey to stardom

Electra remains a very famous figure, someone known for her roles in shows like "Baywatch" and the "Scary Movie" franchise. On previous occasions, she's opened up about the challenging road to stardom and being able to live off of acting and performing. 

"I was homeless in L.A., I’m not from a rich family or anything like that," she said last year, in an appearance on '90s Con Florida.

"I knew where I needed to be in N.Y. or L.A.. So there was a lot of struggling, and I didn’t really know what I was going to do. But I just started to try things and come out of my shell really. So that’s the beginning."
