Madisyn Shipman is known for her childhood role as Kenzie Bell in Nickelodeonโs Game Shakers, which lasted three seasons between 2015 and 2019. The child star shared a photo of herself as a Playboy bunny last Valentineโs, and she narrated the wholesome story behind her cupid-themed outfit to Fox News Digital.
Last year, Shipman announced her commitment to Playboyโs online platform, which allows its creators to โexpress themselves, their creativity, and their sexualities unapologetically.โ The 21-year-old told the news outlet she was torn between choosing a red or black suit until someone found a pink vintage one in the basement.

Shipman, not knowing โwhose suit it wasโ and thinking it โwas just a one-off,โ tried it on, and it fit perfectly. โIโm like, โOh my God, this is beautiful.โ Itโs got beautiful wings on it. The structure, the way that this suit was created, it took me back to a time,” she gushed. “I was thinking late โ80s, early ’90s, maybe early 2000s. But we were just guessing around.โ

Two days before the shoot, Shipman stumbled on a Facebook photo of Steel Magnolias actress Sally Field in the same outfit. โThe fact that I have her suit, and Iโve been wearing it, and itโs been tailored to my body was wild. It was a whole fiasco of whether I could even wear the suit for these photos,โ she recalled, feeling elated to have recreated the Oscar winnerโs look. โIt was kind of a rushed experience of what was going to happen with this suit.โ
In Shipmanโs words, wearing the costume, that Sally intended to wear for her 1986 cover, was โtruly just the most beautiful experience of my life.โ The film star ended up wearing a similar black suit for the magazine, with her shots in the pink one remaining unpublished. โThereโs so much honor that I have and respect that I have for Sally Field,” Shipman raved. “Iโm so beyond grateful that I have the honor of wearing her suit. It was perfectly made for her. Itโs only been worn by her and me, which is crazy.โ

Since joining the Playboy platform, Shipman has become one of the leading content creators also known as โbunnies.โ Although transitioning from a Nickelodeon star into eye candy โis a whole 180,โ it was โmy chance to reclaim my sexuality.โ
โIโm sure a lot of people didnโt see that coming. This has been a way for me to reclaim my power and say, โIโm proud of what I have,” she admitted. “Iโm grateful. I love my body. Iโm so confident in myself.โ
