When Holly Madison considers her past fashion choices, she has only one regret: layers.
In the 2000s, the Playboy Mansion denizen turned reality star wore her fair share of revealing outfits, but Madison, 45, reckons her look is by far the most cringeworthy.
“(There was) that tendency … where you would layer a million things with no business being layered,” he said Us Weekly. In the exclusive video, she played Fashion Police — with herself — and admitted to being guilty of rocking Y2K-era dresses over shirts over “crazy low-cut” jeans.
“Usually, I look back at my stuff and I’m like, ‘I like it,'” Madison said. “Even if it’s camp or silly, I know what I was going for.”

Decades later, Hefner bought the original as a gift to Madison, who at the time was one of the late publisher’s three live-in lovers, together with Bridget Marquardt a Kendra Wilkinsonas immortalized on the E! reality tv show The Girls Next Door.
“I still have it!” Madison gushed. “I love the history of fashion, (and) I love the history of the Playboy pictures.” He added: “My dream is to build a house with a perfect closet where I can display many things and have a mannequin, like a small museum of my favorite things.”
