J. Lo's "Iced Latte" Lingerie Doubles As Body Jewelry

Holly Madison is the iconic former star of the foundational E! reality show The Girls Next Door, which aired from 2005 to 2010 and followed Hugh Hefner’s three age-inappropriate blond girlfriends living in the Playboy Mansion. The show was a favorite among millennial teen girls who were drawn to its glamor-trash fantasy, even if it covered up the more insidious side of the Playboy enterprise, the details of which have been extensively revealed (in part by Madison herself) since Hefner’s death in 2017.

Madison’s resurgence — she has almost 2 million TikTok followers — is happening on the heels of two cultural moments: a reclamation of early 2000s hyper-feminine aesthetics (see: the rise of “bimbofication”), and a post-#MeToo reappraisal of maligned women from that era, including Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Pamela Anderson.

But it’s also a testament to the ways Madison, now 44, has taken control of her own story and challenged the public narratives.
