‘90s bombshell Tia Carrere, 58, looks half her age in plunging purple gown

We’re not worthy!
Tia Carrere was an ageless beauty in a floor-length, plunging royal purple gown at an event on Tuesday — over three decades after starring in iconic ’90s comedy “Wayne’s World.”
Carrere, 58, wowed as she stepped onto the red carpet at the 2025 Scientific and Technical Awards at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles.
The “AJ and the Queen” beauty accessorized the eye-catching dress with a jeweled hairpiece, metallic handbag, and embellished stiletto heels.
While posing for photographers, she flashed the smile that made her famous as rocker Cassandra in the 1992 hit comedy.
Carrere played the bombshell guitarist and singer opposite “Saturday Night Live” alums Mike Myers and Dana Carvey as Wayne and Garth — characters they originated on the late-night sketch comedy show.
In a March interview, the Hawaii-born performer called “Wayne’s World” a “pop culture moment,” but admitted nobody thought it would become a hit.
“It was the tiniest movie that Paramount shot that year,” Carrere told For Women First.
“It was low-budget, and we only had a few takes of each scene. Nobody knew what they had, since it was still pretty untested ground for an ‘SNL’ sketch to become a film,” she continued.
“We were running by the seat of our pants, and it was incredible to see the phenomenon that it became, but nobody expected it. It was really a pop culture moment.”
The “Dancing With the Stars” alum also divulged that she’d grown attached to her fierce character who captured Wayne’s heart.
“It was a powerful young female role, and I think a lot of women responded to it because she was unapologetically her own person,” she said of the character. “I love Cassandra.”
Carrere is featured in the movie slaying a number of distinctly ’90s fashions — including a red lace mini dress from L.A.’s Trashy Lingerie.
Of the iconic red dress, styled with opera gloves and huge ’90s hoop earrings, Carrere quipped “It’s crazy. It should be in a museum.”
The mom of one, who played the voice of Nani in 2002’s animated “Lilo & Stitch,” is set to appear in Disney’s live-action adaptation this year.
