Denise Richards’ Bold Ocean Drive Photoshoot 2002

Denise Richards, Hollywood starlet, turned heads in her 2002 Ocean Drive photoshoot, cementing her status as a fearless fashion icon.

In August 2002, Denise Richards bared her edge for Ocean Drive, and the result was electrifying. Fresh off Wild Things and The World Is Not Enough, she was Hollywood’s daring darling, and this photoshoot—shot by Richard Reinsdorf—proved it. Think sultry poses, minimal looks, and a vibe that said, “I own this.” The magazine, a Miami style beacon, framed her as a trendsetter, not just a Bond girl. Those images, now digitized on Getty Images, hit stands on August 1, 2002, when Richards was riding high, pre-tabloid chaos. At under 150 words, this is no nostalgia trip—it’s a sharp look at a moment when Richards ruled. Dig into the shots yourself; they still pack a punch.
