Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Charisma Carpenter still looks as amazing as she did two decades ago.
The 54-year-old actress, known for playing Cordelia Chase on the hit supernatural drama series and its spin-off Angel, looked like a pinup in a new lingerie photo.
The brunette wore a cotton candy pink bra and underwear set as she sat next to her winter-white Christmas tree.
In her caption she said: ‘Merry CharisMAS’, which was a play on her name Charisma.
The Playboy cover girl watched her friends Rebecca Gayheart and Paulina Porizkova hit the like button.
Charisma was also on the television show Charmed with the late Shannen Doherty and posed for Playboy magazine in June 2004.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Charisma Carpenter still looks as amazing as she did two decades ago. The 54-year-old actress, known for playing Cordelia Chase on the hit supernatural drama series and its spin-off Angel, looked like a pinup in a new lingerie photo.
This comes after Carpenter reprized her role as Cordelia Chase in the Audible Original series Slayers in 2023.
Carpenter previously starred on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which aired from 1997 to 2003, alongside lead star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
Due to her 2021 allegations against Buffy creator Joss Whedon, which caused her former castmates to also speak out in 2022 and condemn her past actions, she was hesitant to return to the Buffyverse again.
She previously said Whedon called her “fat” when she was four months pregnant and threatened to fire her.
After he made a vague statement following her accusation, she said he was a “tyrannical and narcissistic boss who is still incapable of accountability and simply apologizing.”
At New York Comic Con in October 2023, he said Us weekly that he was “a little apprehensive when I was first asked to join” Slayers.
However, he said that “those emotions and feelings, feelings of open wounds, were immediately mitigated by Amber (Benson)’s tone upon hearing his enthusiasm.”

He joined Benson, who played Tara Maclay, on the original audio story project set in an alternate universe where Buffy Summers doesn’t exist.
Decades after the show ended, Carpenter spoke out about her experience behind the scenes and was the first of several stars to accuse showrunner Whedon of “hostile and toxic” behavior.
However, he told the outlet that he wanted to channel the strength of his character.
‘It’s personal for me. I have lived with Cordelia,’ he said. “I played her for about 10 years of my life and I feel like she, as a character, informed me, the woman who played her.
“It’s rich for me,” The Expendables alum continued.
“The idea of acquiring my own power when I was young through a character who then ended up using that power to speak against the creator of that power.”
Carpenter is seen in New York’s East Village on November 20.
She went on to explain how meaningful and “powerful” it was to play such a strong character during a difficult time in her life.
“What I want to say is that, in many ways, Cordelia gave birth to Charisma and really influenced who I am today,” he said.
Carpenter added that “it was so powerful that I was able to do very difficult things at a very critical time in my life.”
“And I think that’s the ultimate story of the Buffyverse: discovering what your purpose is and using it to make the world a better place.”
