Sadly, however, people of a certain age start feeling a little too self-conscious about their bodies as they grow older. But we (and the previous article we posted about the topic) are here with a few celebrities who show us that the beach, the pool, and any other type of swimsuit-requiring situation, are for anyone at any age.
Woody Harrelson
Woody Harrelson’s Insta caption says it better than anyone else can. Good health involves enough sleep, regular exercise, and a clean diet. We now know the secret behind his powerful on-screen jumps and how he survived "The Hunger Games." It also explains why the actor looks so fit even in his 60s!
Harrelson is the picture of health and contentment as he relaxes by the sea. He could almost be a yogi imparting life-altering wisdom, and we are here for it! And he must be doing something right - because he continues to work in many movies until this very day.
Padma Lakshmi
How does Padma Lakshmi do it? Is it good genes? A special workout? There might not be one answer to this question. Instead, it's probably a combination or all of the above. The 1970-born Lakshmi is utter perfection in a fuchsia bikini. Her caption says she’s “tryin’ to be like one of them Botticelli chicks.”
Rather unnecessary, coming from the Renaissance muse of our times. The Top Chef star has always maintained that aging has little to do with looks and everything to do with your mind and what you eat. We think it also comes from a passion for life, which she possesses in abundance!
Neve Campbell
Neve Campbell was ubiquitous in the lives of anyone who grew up in the ‘90s and early ‘00s. Whether she was playing a teen witch in “The Craft” (1995) or survived a series of murders in “Scream” (1996), Campbell was truly memorable. The original scream queen seems to be enjoying a quieter life these days and looks beautiful doing it.
She’s in her 50s now – unbelievable, we know! Campbell looks stylish in a black swimsuit, sun hat, and light wrap. We’re so on board with serene Neve Campbell — a far cry from the craziness during the scream fest era.
David Beckham
Sun’s out, shirts off for the dashing David Beckham, as he enjoys that most elusive of things – clear skies in Great Britain. The former Manchester United star and LA Galaxy midfielder proves he’s ageless. To be fair, the soccer legend has always been at the forefront of fashion, even during his early years.
But he has since matured and is more fashionable than ever before. Beckham is as handsome, fit, and youthful (maybe more) in his late-40s. Despite his meteoric rise to fame and success, Beckham has his priorities sorted — hard work, family, and humility. It’s why he’s arguably one of the most beloved football players in the world.
Adam Levine
Adam Levine is in his 40s, but the singer doesn’t look it. Somehow, he looks younger now than in 2002, when his band Maroon 5 released their first album. Levine sang about love taking a toll on him, but age? Age definitely hasn’t! A shirtless, very fit Levine in a warrior pose is sheer poetry.
A work of art, for sure. The black and white aesthetic works beautifully to bring out Levine's zen side that fans rarely get to see. Of course, being able to have your diet and workout routine taken care of for you definitely helps. Not to mention the copious amount of tattoos all 0ver his body.
Venus Williams
Let's face it - you can't have Serena Williams on this list without giving her older sister Venus some love as well. Venus Williams might not be cinching Wimbledon titles or Olympic gold anymore, but the tennis legend’s love for the game is unparalleled. Her mantra — work hard, play harder – is serving her particularly well in the Bahamas. Williams is a vision in all-white!
She keeps the beach look minimal but effective, the subtle pose accentuating her enviable athletic frame. Williams, in her 40s, leads a more disciplined life than most others. The athlete is also known for her enthusiastic, childlike disposition, which probably explains her agelessness!
Vanessa Williams
Basking in the warm glow of the sun, Vanessa Williams shines in an elegant off-white bikini. As we marvel at her beauty, we can't help but catch ourselves catching feelings of awe and admiration. In her 60s, Williams serves as a living testament that personal style knows no bounds when it comes to age.
She fearlessly defies societal notions of what is "appropriate" and proves that the power to decide lies solely within oneself. As a mother of four and a former Miss America, Williams exudes an undeniable confidence, looking absolutely fantastic in her swimsuit. In fact, she possesses that rare ability to infuse even the most casual of attire, like sweatpants, with an undeniable sexiness.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow (born 1972) is a woman of many talents. Apart from being a successful, critically-acclaimed actor, she’s also the founder of Goop and a swimwear model! It’s why she looks so effortlessly stunning in a bikini. The sun-kissed Paltrow seems one with the waves and blue skies.
The "Iron Man" star has always been vocal about struggling with body image issues. Sure, she isn't with Chris Martin from Coldplay anymore, but that isn't stopping her from being a real role model for women around the world. Paltrow shows us that women at any age can feel complete and empowered in their bodies.
Jane Seymour
Jane Seymour, radiating vibrant energy, proves that age is just a number as she confidently dons a striking fuchsia swimsuit in her 70s. At 67, she shattered boundaries by becoming the oldest woman to grace the pages of Playboy, showcasing her incredible beauty and defying societal expectations. This groundbreaking moment empowers older women who often face dismissive comments suggesting they should "relax" and step aside.
Society wrongly assumes they have had their fill of enjoyment. However, Seymour and trailblazers like her challenge these peculiar conventions, reminding us that everyone has the right to wear swimsuits that make them feel fabulous. And what better way to do it than with a bold, captivating shade of pink that turns heads and celebrates the unapologetic spirit of self-expression?
Brian Austin Green
Even though it has been some time since Brian Austin Green walked the glitzy streets of Beverly Hills 90210, he will forever remain an indelible part of that iconic '90s dreamscape. Despite transitioning into a new chapter of his life, Green's youthful allure remains intact as he gracefully navigates his way into his 50s.
Relaxing by the pool, he exudes an aura of ultra-fitness, sophistication, and undeniable fabulosity. It comes as no surprise that he keeps himself in top shape, often incorporating impromptu push-ups or sit-ups into his routine when boredom strikes. As a devoted father of four, Green consistently raises the bar for men everywhere.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Looking fantastic in a bikini is something that many of us can struggle to execute, even on the best days. But it is certainly second nature for Alessandra Ambrosio. The Victoria's Secret model is an icon in the fashion industry, having blazed catwalks for the best designer and fashion labels in the world.
She was also one of the first spokespersons for Victoria's Secret PINK line. So, of course, Ambrosio looks fittingly divine in a neon yellow-orange bikini at the beach – like a nymph emerging from her natural habitat. But many people don't realize that the Brazilian stunner is in her fabulous 40s.
Heidi Klum
Are there many more exports to come out of Germany that are as iconic as Heidi Klum? Here she is, in a spicy pink bikini proving she’s still on top of her modeling game! She’s having a hot girl summer and turning up the heat by several notches. The former "Project Runway" host shows off her tanned, incredibly fit frame while relaxing on a boat.
She appears to be swaying as sunlight plays with her gorgeous blonde tresses. Who would believe she’s a mother of four and in her 50s? Klum is forever stunning — neither age nor time can take that away.
Gordon Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay trades his chef uniform for summery blue shorts, and the internet can’t get enough. The shirtless celebrity chef and his son appear to be spending quality family time in the Maldives. Ramsay isn’t in the kitchen but sends temperatures soaring regardless. You would expect the iconic chef-turned-TV personality to have all kinds of problems.
Not to mention all of the stressful environments he has put himself in over the years. But for someone in his 50s, who spends every waking moment around food, his impeccable frame is to die for! The hunky, very tall Ramsay commands attention. We think it’s time the world established brand new dad bod goals!
Sarah Michelle Gellar
Sarah Michelle Gellar is still killing it, decades after slaying vampires as the fierce Buffy. The star flaunts her age-defying skin and figure in a sexy black bikini. Few people in their 40s can work a beach look like Gellar. We half expect her to go demon hunting in a swimsuit. Why? Because she can.
Buffy or no Buffy, Gellar still looks as powerful. She's a representative for strong, petite women everywhere. While she doesn't appear on the big or small screen as much as she used to, Gellar is still an iconic name in the world of Hollywood and is one half of a pretty strong power couple.
Halle Berry
If Oscar-winning actor Halle Berry does not epitomize timeless beauty, we have no idea who does. Berry looks divine in a pink and green bikini. She wears a nice tee on top that says, “Kind people are my kinda people.” Bringing the message home is a pair of funky heart-shaped sunglasses we can’t get enough of.
Among her many takes on fashion, the star’s views on bikini-wearing are a crowd-pleaser. She once said that if it involves a bikini, her answer is always, “yes please!” And why wouldn’t it be? When people say bikini goals, they’re probably thinking of Halle Berry.
Shakira
It isn’t an exaggeration to say that Shakira looks exactly the same decades after she took over the world with her single, “Whenever Wherever.” The Colombian songstress still has the same glowing skin, insane abs, and long wavy hair even in her 40s. The secret? Minimalism and keeping things simple.
Ask her for beauty recommendations, and she’ll probably ask you to wear sunscreen and a smile. It’s evidently working for her. Look how she shines in a simple but sexy lavender bathing suit! Sure, her marriage to soccer player Gerard Pique went up in flames in the last few years, but this hasn't stopped her from being the best version of her Latinx self.
Nicole Richie
The term 'simple' falls remarkably short in capturing the complexity of Nicole Richie's multifaceted life. As a fashion designer, former reality TV star, author, socialite, and philanthropist, Richie embraces a myriad of roles with effortless grace. Currently, it seems she is relishing the epitome of an idyllic island existence, surrounded by a cherished circle of loved ones.
Fans cannot help but be awestruck by her enviable level of fitness and undeniable fabulousness. Donning a bandana, adorned with beads, and confidently sporting a bikini, Richie exudes the essence of a free-spirited young hippie, poised to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery. It's truly hard to fathom that she is a forty-something mother of two.
Rob Lowe
Rob Lowe was only 15 when he first started appearing on TV shows. Just for perspective, it was a time when space shuttles were still a dream and Jimmy Carter was President of the United States. From a child actor to his iconic role in “Parks and Recreation” (2009), Lowe’s stellar transformation has been incredible to watch.
In many ways, Lowe is the epitome of longevity. Among his many avatars, beach bum Lowe is a particularly fetching archetype. He's working the slouchy shorts, a hint of silver hair, and a gorgeous tan! All of it while approaching his '60s to boot.
Matthew McConaughey
Matthew McConaughey, the veritable Texas gentleman is more than alright, alright, alright! This Texan native has been on a rollercoaster ride of a career ever since he burst onto the scene with that iconic role in the cult classic "Dazed and Confused." The Academy-award-winning, gif-worthy man can seemingly do everything - like flying sideways in red swimming trunks.
Boy, does the 50-something actor look good! Who in their right mind would look at this image and think, "that’s great, but the dude’s old"? The energy, the athletic abilities, and that body – he does it better than most, and you can’t deny it.
Tony Parker
When it comes to greatness, Tony Parker's name shines brighter than ever—an assertion that hardly does justice to his impact on the NBA. The legendary point guard played an instrumental role in scripting history for the San Antonio Spurs, leading them to four NBA championships and earning the coveted title of finals MVP. Although Parker may have officially retired, his drive and passion remain undiminished.
Now in his 40s, he embraces a well-deserved retirement with a radiant glow. Moreover, he finds joy in his loving relationship with tennis star Alize Lim, an undeniable source of inspiration and happiness. It's impossible to overlook their endearing bond as they effortlessly coordinate their beachwear while luxuriating on a yacht.
Alyssa Milano
Alyssa Milano, born in 1972, fearlessly confronts the realities of aging with refreshing honesty. Known for her candidness, she openly shares the keys to maintaining a youthful appearance—meticulous attention to diet, dedicated fitness routines, and even occasional indulgence in Botox. She stays true to herself, and her efforts unquestionably pay off.
It's hard to find fault when she looks as stunning as a picture! The "Charmed" actress effortlessly commands attention in her striking black swimsuit, exhibiting a level of confidence that is unmatched. Whether she's braving an invigoratingly cold plunge or meticulously tending to her beauty regimen, Milano understands that beauty requires time and effort.
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek's agelessness remains a captivating enigma. It's not her reliance on botox, hair dyes, or extravagant diets that keeps her youthful radiance intact. According to Hayek herself, the real secrets lie in the strength of her family bonds, the love she shares with a remarkable partner, and embracing the process of growing old gracefully.
These truths become evident in her serene and captivating glow, beautifully captured in this image, as she confidently rocks an electric-blue swimsuit. Having crossed the threshold of 50, Hayek stands tall as one of the most stunning Hollywood celebrities, surpassing all comparisons. Her luminosity transcends mere physical beauty and it emanates from within.
Tom Brady
Tom Brady continues to defy the constraints of age with every passing milestone. At the age of 39, the exceptional quarterback delivered one of the most remarkable performances of his career while playing for the New England Patriots—an extraordinary accomplishment for an athlete supposedly past his prime.
(It's worth noting that many football legends have retired by that age). Now, fast forward to the present, and Brady, in his 40s, continues to exhibit a level of physical fitness that is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Whether clad in attire or baring his chiseled torso, it becomes evident that he maintains a phenomenal physique, devoid of even an ounce of excess fat.
Jada Pinkett Smith
There’s something about Jada Pinkett Smith, particularly in this image. She’s positively glowing and ethereal. Perhaps it’s the warm glow from her skin or the cool-blue bikini, but we’re half-healed just looking. In this picture, the star is owning her 50s! Her stunning transformation over the years shows that the best times are always ahead of us.
Mother of two, a celebrity in her own right, and one-half of Hollywood’s most high-profile power couple, the divine Jada isn’t your average hot celeb. And while her family has had its fair share of negative publicity over the last few years, she is made of fierce yet gentle resilience.
Susan Lucci
From finding fame on the soap opera “All My Children” (1970) to her many Emmy nominations, to say that Susan Lucci is a small screen icon would be the understatement of the century. And it's also safe to say that she is as gorgeous as ever and in her late 70s!
Lucci looks ravishing in an orange swimsuit and sarong, casually sipping some Pina Colada. Fans can’t get over how youthful she looks. She’s one of those stars always in the spotlight for her seemingly age-defying ways. Whether it's because of good genes, skincare, or Botox (as some claim) – who cares? Susan Lucci is forever beautiful.
Carmen Electra
When Carmen Electra's name is mentioned, an iconic image immediately comes to mind—the mesmerizing sight of her gracefully running in slow motion along the sun-kissed beach. The actress's undeniable allure undoubtedly contributed to the soaring ratings of "Baywatch" during its heyday. Remarkably, even after the passing of decades, Electra has managed to preserve both her youthful appearance and boundless energy.
It's truly astonishing to realize that this captivating picture is recent, considering that the star has entered her 50s. The former model continues to showcase her enviable curves in a sizzling swimsuit, and the vibrant prints, complemented by her pink sunglasses, serve as the perfect finishing touch, solidifying her status as a timeless and irresistible force.
Adriana Lima
Adriana Lima, known for her desire to live eternally, seems to have discovered the secret to defying the aging process if her captivating Instagram feed is any indication. Even in her 40s, Lima remains effortlessly lean, fit, and breathtakingly beautiful. Her recent snapshot showcases her timeless allure as she confidently rocks a stylish crop top paired with denim shorts.
Every element of this Instagram post exudes a sense of liberation—a freedom that transcends the limitations imposed by age, boundaries, or societal norms. It's tempting to imagine a world that embraces Lima's approach to life, where individuals are unencumbered by the constraints of time and are empowered to live with boundless passion and vitality.
Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel is no stranger to public love and scrutiny. And we're sure you have seen her before on TV at some stage in the last decade. After all, she was one of the most popular contestants on “The Real Housewives of New York City.” Since then, Frankel has come into her own — a successful entrepreneur, author, wife, and hot momma!
She looks amazingly toned in a sophisticated dark green one-piece from her own swimwear line. Would anyone believe this stunner is over 50? Frankel’s personal mission to make women feel comfortable in their skin is well-known. She’s authored books on the subject and even launched a company around it.
Jennifer Lopez
Do not be fooled by the abs she that she's got – this is just...this is just Jenny from the Block! And she is more than years old! She’s still Jenny from the block in more ways than one. We’re obsessed with this sexy white swimsuit that shows off her legendary curves in style. This quiet selfie oozes confidence.
The kind that says, 'I work hard and celebrate myself because I’ve earned it!' JLo is fiercer and stronger than ever. She looks fantastic, undoubtedly. But we're struck by how she carries herself. Her beauty comes tinged with rawness and edge. She keeps things real.
Vera Wang
When you see Vera Wang in a classy white swimsuit, only one question immediately comes to mind. How is it possible that this designer is in her 70s?! She is usually working hard as the creative force behind every A-lister’s wedding dress. Whenever she is off-duty, Wang brings her brand of sexiness and works it!
Her legs seem to go on for miles, while her hair and skin are flawless. She must work out all day, every day to get that incredibly toned frame. Wang slaying it is a befitting answer to the indiscriminate ageism in the fashion and entertainment industry.
Brooke Shields
If anyone still holds the misguided belief that older women are somehow diminished, they clearly haven't had the pleasure of encountering the indomitable Brooke Shields. From her early days as a young star, objectified in films like "Blue Lagoon" (1980) and the controversial "Pretty Baby" (1978), Shields has evolved into a symbol of empowerment for the thriving tribe of fierce and fabulous women in their 50s.
Her beach look in an orange bikini shows off her tan and incredible body. Shields stands like a regal sea goddess surveying her kingdom. She has famously credited her daughters for inspiring her to get into a bikini again.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman has dazzled in musicals, thrillers, dramas, and comedies throughout her entire career. She makes anything look elegant. A case in point is this minimal cardigan and button-down shirt ensemble that looks oh-so-classy on her lithe frame. Everything about this look is classic Kidman – timeless and feminine.
Who says you need a bikini to rock a beach look? The 1967-born actor truly belongs in the golden age of glamour and sophistication. She refuses to change how she looks based on trends or fads. Come what may, Kidman keeps things classy. Keith Urban has definitely hit the jackpot when it comes to longevity in a marriage.
Demi Moore
Demi Moore has been around in Hollywood since the ‘80s, but can anyone tell?! We certainly can’t. The "Ghost" star hasn’t aged a day! From "St. Elmo's Day" to "Striptease" and "G.I. Jane," she has been through it all. If you must know, she was born in 1962. So, that would make her an ageless goddess.
Moore is flawless. Those gorgeous long tresses breathe life into an otherwise dull existence. Not to forget the chic black bikini that accentuates every enviable part of her leggy, athletic frame. She’s also got a smoldering, nerdy look going with those glasses. Where can we sign up for class, professor?
Jennifer Garner
She didn’t know it back then, but Jennifer Garner manifested the good vibes from “13 Going on 30” into life. She’s certainly living the theme well into her big 5-0s! The years have been kind to the actress, who continues to look more beautiful each year.
Garner is dewy and fresh in a muted grey swimsuit. The star always looks radiant on the red carpet, but we are partial to her beach glow. Rumor has it that Garner’s pictures never involve photoshop and other such trickery. Did we mention she is a mother of three and always on the go?
Ethan Hawke
Ethan Hawke is the ultimate Renaissance Man, and we refuse to heed any other opinion on the matter. First, he’s aged like fine wine. Check out the bits of salt and pepper in that immaculate beard. Hawke is the picture of chill while strolling on the beach. The four-time Academy Award-nominated actor has been busy too.
Besides his many acting projects, he continues dreaming up new passion projects. And while he certainly doesn't look as youthful as he did when he was starring alongside the likes of Denzel Washington and Uma Thurman back in the '90s, Hawke redefines what life in your 50s should be – anything you want it to be, really!
Alvaro Morte
If you have spent enough time on Netflix over the last few years - you will definitely recognize Alvaro Morte. Spotted in Palma de Mallorca in Spain, our favorite Professor is enjoying his holidays at the beach! Over the years, the "Money Heist" star has flipped the script on traditional notions of "hot" men.
The world has Morte to thank for elevating the intelligent, quiet, and brooding man on screen. A shirtless Morte on vacation is a sight for sore eyes, unlike his character who’s always working very hard. Still, we can’t help but notice that the 40-something star is on the phone. Please, let it be another heist!
Jeff Goldblum
He may be one of the oldest celebrities on this list, but Jeff Goldblum is the kind of performer who just doesn't crack! On top of being a critically-acclaimed actor, Jeff Goldblum rates tattoos and is a voracious Tweet reader. He is best known for his roles in “The Fly” (1987), “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (2014), and the Jurassic Park franchise.
Goldblum has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Goldblum's energy and humor are legendary, some of which are on display here. We’ll have what he’s having, please! This is the only way to be when you've reached your 70s — tanned, fit, and beautiful at the beach.
Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford is a vision in this black one-piece swimsuit! Bikinis are excellent, but a sexy one-piece always has our hearts. And Cindy Crawford? She rocks whatever she wears. Would you look at her here? The iconic supermodel is effortless and in her element. Plus, we’re getting goddess vibes beyond rocking a bikini bod!
Crawford isn’t clinging to some notion of what she used to be in her 20s or 30s. She exudes the confidence that comes from having been there, done that, and knowing you have even more to offer. And the genes run in the family - as Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber is basically a young version of her!
Taraji P. Henson
Taraji P. Henson is as fierce off-screen as the characters she portrays. She’s a multi-talented, award-winning actor who took on Hollywood despite numerous odds. The "Empire" star is also the definition of ageless beauty, having looked pretty much the same for the last couple decades.
We love this Instagram post because it is everything she stands for – a strong, successful woman in her 50s who dresses up and shows up! And it can be in anything she well pleases. Her shimmery one-piece shines almost as bright as she does. Let’s not forget those color-coordinated nails, the dumbbell, and the fabulous hair!
Ryan Phillippe
Ryan Phillippe is in his 40s but doesn’t look anywhere near his age. Of course, this actor had a high-profile relationship with Reese Witherspoon. But the fallout of it hasn't stopped him from being his best self. It seems like the actor drinks from the fountain of youth. So much, so that people often mistake the "Shooter" star for his teenage daughter’s brother.
Who can blame them? Phillippe’s incredible physique, skin, and energy don't really seem to match his age. Some of it is genetics, but it’s mostly hard work and dedication over 20 years. For Phillippe, exercise is a mental and physical release, allowing him to channel his energy positively.
Chloë Sevigny
If you were wondering how a Golden-Globe winner unwinds — Chloë Sevigny shows us how it’s done! That Sevigny is an exceptional actor and director is well-known. She excels in television, theater, and film. Evidently, the star is equally fabulous off-screen. The 40-something Sevigny sizzles and shimmies in a black bikini.
She appears to be having a fantastic time with her close friend, Natasha Lyonne. Sevigny elevates the art of applying sunscreen at the beach, like everything else she does. In recent times, Sevigny and Lyonne have starred together in a couple of critically-acclaimed TV series. These include the likes of "Russian Doll" and "Poker Face."
Gabrielle Union-Wade
Ever since Gabrielle Union-Wade burst onto the scene in beloved teen flicks such as "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999), she has been captivating audiences with her timeless beauty. Despite the passing years, the actress looks as if she hasn't aged a day beyond 25, defying the conventional bounds of time.
In the present, Wade exudes an unmistakable radiance, as evidenced by her recent beach appearance. Her choice of an off-white bikini and hat elegantly accentuates her flawless complexion and enviable physique. One can easily envision her unwinding on the sandy shores, her buoyant spirit reminiscent of her memorable cheerleader routine in "Bring It On" (2000).
Catherine Zeta-Jones
We could watch Catherine Zeta-Jones hula hoop all day, although actually practicing might get us closer to looking as stunning as she does. This iconic actress has been in every kind of movie over the last few decades. And while she has slowed down a little, as far as her filmography is concerned, she is still doing amazing for herself.
Hula hooping in a swimsuit in our 50s is the new goal! The Welsh star looks dynamite in a fun striped bikini for this unexpectedly hilarious video. Zeta-Jones will always be one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars. She appeared in only a few films but embodied the roles so well that she made a permanent impact.
Serena Williams
Troublesome knees, controversy, and other injuries notwithstanding – Serena Williams rises above. There might not be a more impressive player to grace the world of women's tennis. Ever. Both a tennis and fashion inspiration, Williams (now in her 40s) lives large. She stuns in a hot pink swim piece, standing proud and strong like an Amazonian warrior.
Little Alexis and her dolly keep mama company in matching grins and swimsuits. Everything about this post personifies girl power and femininity — a force that is, at once, gentle, joyful, and fierce. And when you've had a movie made about you - you know you're doing something right.
Michelle Rodriguez
Michelle Rodriguez proves she is too fast and too furious for banal concepts like aging. If you must know, the star of the classic Vin Diesel-led series has made her presence felt in many other film franchises over the last couple of decades. What's more? The "Resident Evil" actor is in her 40s.
And goodness, she looks fine! Rodriguez is the picture of youth and energy in a white bikini. Her gorgeous tan and figure are incredible enough, but would you look at the smile, seemingly powering the boat? Perhaps even the sea and the turning of the world’s axis? Rodriguez is an absolute goddess!
Thandiwe Newton
Thandiwe Newton (born 1972) may be working up the nerve to roll around bare-body in the snow - but she looks good doing it! She is the snow angel everyone needs! She’s sensational in a black bikini. Those understated accessories beautifully complete the look.
Anyone who can brave the snow to do this is an absolute legend in our book. It makes you wonder. Did she only play a sentient android in Westworld, or might she actually be one?! Newton’s no-reservations approach makes her a winner of not only awards but life. There is no denying that Newton has aged like a fine wine.
Christie Brinkley
Even though Christie Brinkley's iconic modeling days for Sports Illustrated may be behind her, the timeless star still possesses the allure to dominate as a cover girl. With a straw hat adorning her head and a delicate wrap gracefully draped around her, Brinkley effortlessly emanates a captivating and seductive bohemian charm.
Oh, how we wish we could exude even a fraction of her stunning beauty while rocking a black bikini in our late-60s! In her prime, Brinkley symbolized an era where celebrity models redefined swimsuit fashion, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. Now, decades later, she reminds us that the allure of a remarkable woman and her swimwear remains undeniably irresistible.
Adrian Grenier
It's hard to believe that more than 15 years have passed since we fell head over heels for Adrian Grenier's captivating performance in "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006). Astonishingly, the actor appears unchanged, leaving us in a state of bewilderment. Not only does he maintain his youthful appearance, but Grenier has also acquired some new and impressive age-defying skills.
In his forties, he effortlessly embodies the grace and ease of a child while engaging in activities like ocean swimming, rock climbing, and carefree leaps into the water. He continues to possess that irresistible charm, remaining forever young and audaciously bold in his endeavors.
Claudia Schiffer
Claudia Schiffer’s beauty is eternal. She will always be the timeless blonde bombshell tearing up runways in the 80s and 90s. She is certainly one of the finest exports to have ever come out of Germany - that's for sure. The former supermodel is still as magnificent in a floral-print bikini and patterned sarong.
Schiffer is on holiday and, as always, looks incredible. She’s happy as a clam collecting shells. Lounging on the sand never looked more fabulous. Also, her abs at age 50+ are way better than most 20-year-olds. We love these low-key but ultra-glamorous photos. Once a supermodel, always a supermodel. She can’t help it.
Helena Christensen
As one of the OG 90’s supermodels, Helena Christensen owns any look – from fabulous couture to chic athleisure. She still turns heads wherever she goes, as evidenced here. It only makes sense that she would make it on this list - she is a perfect fit. Christensen elevates a basic black swimsuit to high fashion goals.
Looking fab in a swimsuit comes easy when adventure is your way of life. It certainly is for Christensen, whose Insta post is all about the outdoor fun she's up to. The model is aging like fine wine, and if that’s what being in your 50s can look like – sign us up!
Luke Evans
There are many reasons to love Luke Evans. But which version of him do you like the best? Luke Evans as the alpha male Gaston in “Beauty and the Beast?” Evans as the soulful Bard in “The Hobbit?” What about Luke Evens as Vlad Tepes in that terrible movie showcasing the origin story of Count Dracula?
Or Luke Evans in shorts, turning up the heat at a beach in Miami? The answer is all versions – every one of them! The devastatingly handsome Welsh actor makes us look forward to the 40s and a future that suddenly doesn’t seem so scary.
Dax Shepard
Although he’s better known as Kristin Bell’s better half, Dax Shepard is a star in his own right. Shepard is a comedian, actor, filmmaker, and podcast host of the wildly popular podcast “Armchair Expert.” Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, he’s a dreamboat! He makes being in your late-40s seem aspirational!
It seems like beast mode comes naturally to him, particularly here. Shepard looks ripped, raw, and ready to fight sea monsters. The fierce tattoo with a bandage partially over it only adds to the testosterone levels. It makes you wonder exactly what his diet and workout regimen actually is. We're sure he's discussed it on his podcast.
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone looks mighty fine in her roaring 60s! The "Basic Instinct" star seems to have done it all in her long, illustrious career. And she continues to shine, as you can see in this photo. She glows in a sunny yellow bikini, seemingly without a care. Her short, boyish haircut and goofy grin are everything!
Older women, especially ones in bright bikinis, are often at the receiving end of internet hate. Stone couldn't give two hoots! And we love her for it. The mother of three is a picture of confidence and beauty. She’s the undisputed Hollywood diva, thoroughly enjoying her hard-won success and fame.
Julia Roberts
Is there anyone in the world of fame that epitomizes evergreen beauty quite like Julia Roberts? Over three decades ago, the world collectively fell in love with Julia Roberts in “Pretty Woman.” The rest of us have probably aged since then, but Roberts? She makes being in your 50s look like the new 30. Julia Roberts is as gorgeous as ever.
Few people can look amazing in a basic denim shorts and shirt ensemble, but Roberts is one of them! Her shine and sparkle haven’t dimmed in the least. It’s as if the star has managed to defy physiological decline altogether.
Reese Witherspoon
Excuse us, but can you imagine a list of forever young stars without Reese Witherspoon? How has she not aged at all since we first fell in love with her in “Legally Blonde” (2001)? Just so you know, she already passed the age of 40 a while ago. And yet, it feels like nothing has changed in the last two decades!
Yet, Witherspoon is timeless, much like her films and shows. She looks positively giddy with schoolgirl excitement here in her new swimsuit. Her hair is on point, and her skin looks fantastic – zero dark spots or signs of aging! She’s summer-ready, for sure!
Jenna Dewan
The stunning Jenna Dewan looks the same as she first did when we fell in love with her on “Step Up” (2006). The star sits radiant and peaceful against the backdrop of spectacular ocean views. Her form and skin are flawless! Dewan is known for prioritizing holistic health and well-being.
This is no mean feat when you have a busy career and two children. But the actor is a passionate advocate of self-care nonetheless. Rocking a swimsuit is one of the many ways to do it. And even though her long-running romance with Channing Tatum came to an end, Dewan is still living her best life.
Eva Longoria
We’re sorry, but who’s calling whom a Desperate Housewife now? One look at Eva Longoria, and you know she’s anything but! Once a ravishing stunner, always a ravishing stunner. Longoria makes phrases like “the wrong side of 40s” defunct.
We can’t fault this Instagram post, can you? She’s gorgeous! The beautiful tan, beach hair, pastel blue bikini, her curves — absolute magic! The only thing left to do now is to bask in her glow. And of course, Andy Samberg was head over heels for Longoria when she showed up in a couple of episodes of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" as his love interest.
Taika Waititi
We wouldn't necessarily associate Taika Waititi with looking glamorous while basking in the sun. But here we are. We don’t know anyone on the planet who can pull off a baby sun hat and swimming trunks! But Taika Waititi makes us believe. Swimming trunks – check. Sun hat (and it can be whatever he pleases) – check!
There’s a method and sheer brilliance to filmmaker Taika Waititi’s madness. He can see through the fog of “crazy” and create magic while the rest of us flounder. His creative methods have no limits and seemingly extend to fun fashion choices in his 40s.
Sofia Vergara
Is it just us, or does Sofia Vergara only become better with time? She’s so stunning in her 50s, it’s almost criminal! It feels like a day hasn't gone by since she landed her big role in the hit family sitcom "Modern Family." Very few people on the planet can nail disparate print combinations.
On Vergara? It looks like a second skin as if the swimsuit were an extension of her. Vergara's beach look is as bold, colorful, and vibrant as she is. The sea and sand in the background almost pale in comparison, don't you think? There is no denying that Joe Manganiello had a huge smile on his face every day he woke up next to this Colombian legend.
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Actor Cuba Gooding Jr is happy as a clam at a beach in Miami. To think that he was looking just as spritely 30 years ago when he starred in the classic LA-based drama "Boyz N Da Hood." Anyone in doubt needs to check out those shorts. Oh, and that smile! The Oscar-winning actor is best known for playing Rod Tidwell in “Jerry Maguire” (1996).
Although his career saw a series of hits and misses after the film, Gooding seems to have taken it in his stride. At least, it hasn’t impacted how the star is bringing in his 50s – sun-kissed, cheerful, and every bit as youthful.
Idris Elba
Idris Elba is a seriously cool dude. There are so many reasons to love the handsome actor. The Englishman has come a long way since his days as Stringer Bell on HBO's "The Wire." He acts, directs, raps, and even DJs! Elba is a doting husband and father. Here, Elba makes hearts stop even while fully clothed on the beach.
An understated t-shirt, track bottoms, and flip-flops and the man still looks incredible. No suitably smoldering poses for the Gram either, Idris Elba only needs to stand and smile – while his beautiful wife (and the world) looks on lovingly.
Kate Beckinsale
Pardon us, but we’re trying to avoid shamelessly staring! Kate Beckinsale doesn’t seem to be aging. For the record, she was born in 1973. Whether she’s burning up the red carpet or stepping out on a hot date – Beckinsale proves over and over that age is just a number.
The leggy, toned lass is looking posh and perfect with her dogs at the beach. While she hasn't set the awards season alight at any point of her career, Beckinsale is still a talented performer. The actor has kept an intense fitness regimen since her time in “Underworld” (2003) and “Van Helsing” (2004). The results show!
Kelly Bensimon
Kelly Bensimon, the former Real Housewife of New York and model, has garnered fame for her multifaceted career. While recognized for her time on the show, her real estate endeavors have brought her remarkable accomplishments. In addition to her professional pursuits, Bensimon showcased her versatility as an author, penning a book dedicated to bikinis—a delightful revelation.
Hence, it comes as no shock to witness the sensational 50-something star effortlessly flaunting her stunning figure in a vibrant hot pink bikini on the sandy shores. Her perpetual beach glow and enviable tan captivate our admiration, while her impeccable stride and unwavering confidence elevate her allure to unprecedented heights.
Michelle Monaghan
Looking beautiful is hardly an impossible mission for Michelle Monaghan. The actor, who’s in her 40s, is luminous in a vibrant beach ensemble. We can’t decide what we love the most — her enviable frame, the gorgeous hat, or the chic bikini. To be fair, she didn't look too dissimilar when she starred alongside Ben Stiller in the hilarious comedy "The Heartbreak Kid."
The "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" Star enjoys her day at the beach while staying sun-safe. Like the famous song lyrics, Monaghan knows that if she could offer one tip for the future – sunscreen would be it!
Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige looks hot and bothered in the heat, but excuse us while we focus on more important things. To start, the singer, who is in her 50s, confidently owns her space. It is in the way she carries herself in that hot bikini. Also, a moment of awed silence for how her skin shimmers in the Miami sun.
What is with the squint, however? You say squint. We say the ultimate stare-down. How dare the sun shine brighter? Mary J. Blige is the undisputed queen wherever she goes. You best know your place. Whatever the case, this iconic singer's class will never die.
Jeremy Piven
Oh, look! It’s Ari Gold taking a much-needed break from being — well, himself! Unlike his iconic character on “Entourage,” Jeremy Piven seems to be going with the flow and looks amazing doing it. To be fair, many of us remember him as Dean Pritchard aka "Cheeeeese" from the classic comedy "Old School." But that's neither here nor there.
Piven is all kinds of summertime fine and chill. It’s everything we wish life in our 50s could be – pool time, summer shorts, and a body that pulls it off. Jeremy Piven could easily pass off for someone in his 30s.
Jessica Biel
Actor Jessica Biel rose to fame after her roles in “The Rules of Attraction,” “Candy,” and “The Illusionist.” As she juggles her life as a mother of two, a doting wife, and a successful career – the 40-something Biel always finds time to unwind.
Judging by this photo, she knows how to do it exceedingly well! The fit and fabulous Biel wearing a layered swimsuit is no illusion! The sheer glee and energy are contagious. She’s opened up in the past about her insecurities with her body. But she seems to have moved past them into a healing journey of resplendent self-love.
Uma Thurman
Uma Thurman is a force to be reckoned with, whether clad in a bloody jumpsuit or a glamorous evening gown. The world remembers Thurman for her iconic, pulpy roles in Quentin Tarantino’s films. But she’s other-worldly in real life, too. Is that a gorgeous Thurman taking a dip in the waters in a green one-piece?
Or a still from an epic fantasy film? The lines between reality and art become increasingly blurry. She manages to blend in and own the landscape at the same time, this stealthy jungle queen. Thurman, in her 50s, is a fine lesson in aging gracefully.
Eva Mendes
We’ve always maintained that Eva Mendes is ageless but this one is for those who need photographic evidence. Although Mendes is now middle-aged and on an acting break, she’s hard at work on her fashion line. Looking fabulous, on the other hand – that bit is effortless!
Mendes almost rivals the sunlight in Greece. She’s still on top of her game in a bright and breezy summer ensemble. There’s something about the Cuban actor. She’s got that “it” factor that makes everyone sit up and pay attention. She has certainly come a long way since her time on the hit sequel "2 Fast 2 Furious."
Gisele Bündchen
The fact that Gisele Bündchen is in her 40s might be surprising to many people. It feels like it was only yesterday when the supermodel blazed her way into the fashion scene. She’s still every bit the Brazilian stunner we knew in the ‘90s. We love the shimmery, bronzed glow aesthetic – perfectly complementing her bikini’s earthy hues.
A lot of her glow seems to be radiating from within. As for her bikini body, words seem inadequate. Falling at her feet might suffice instead. Sure, her marriage with NFL legend Tom Brady has come and gone, but there is no denying that she is still a legend in her own right.
Garcelle Beauvais
Garcelle Beauvais is a multi-talented star. She’s an actor best known for her role in the indie film “A Girl Like Grace” (2015). She’s also a TV host and former model. The Haitian beauty was on People Magazine’s 2014 list of 50 Most Beautiful, but naturally! Years on and now in her 50s, she continues to defy time and age.
Beauvais’ long hair is a proud representation of her Haitian heritage. She looks dynamite in a breezy and earthy swimsuit — not unlike the actor herself. And she continued to demonstrate her neverending beauty in "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Naomi Watts
Naomi Watts could easily pass for a woman in her 30s. The Australian actor is famous for her nuanced performances and offbeat roles. She’s also known in Hollywood circles for her seemingly age-defying skin. Having been in the acting game for four decades now, there is nothing she hasn't done.
Watts, in her 50s, looks better than ever! Like the ocean she pays tribute to in her post, Watts is timeless and the picture — life-sustaining! She's perfection in a simple bikini and sun hat. There's no disputing that the actor has aged beautifully. Plus, she seems perfectly content and at home by the sea. #goals
Elizabeth Hurley
A quick glance at Elizabeth Hurley's pictures, and you might think the actor is in her 30s. Not older than 40, for sure? But anyone following her career since Austin Powers knows that the star is in her late 50s! Yes y'all, you read that right. It is hard to keep your eyes off Hurley on any day.
Spot her by the beach in a bikini during the Platinum Jubilee, and everything comes to a standstill. All hail Queen Hurley, we say! Her Instagram post is quintessentially her – vibrant and sexy with that signature oomph her fans know and love.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is as stunning now as she was in her '20s. One hit reality show, family business, and plenty of very public drama later, she has not aged one bit. The petite star is a veritable earth goddess in her sexy bikini.
Whether it is due to genetics, a new man, or a little help from surgery, she’s practically glowing. Not an ounce of fat on her body too! It’s hard to believe she’s in her 40s, a mother, and the oldest of the Kardashian sisters. There’s a fire burning within her, and nobody can put it out.
Kristen Bell
Kristen Bell isn’t just enjoying summer, she’s loving every minute of it. It’s inconceivable that the "Veronica Mars" actor is in her 40s today. Not to mention that classic titular role that she had in the rom-com "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Bell’s youthful, radiant glow hasn’t dimmed for over a decade since the show first aired.
As she lounges about, sunning herself in a beautiful blue and white swimsuit, Bell feels like a summer song. She’s known for leading an extremely healthy lifestyle and swears by a vegetarian diet. We're not sure if Dax Shepherd himself took the photo, but there's definitely a good chance that he did.
Melanie Griffith
One of everyone’s favorite actresses is in her 60s now! Are we feeling old yet? As for Melanie Griffith, she doesn’t look or act it – in the least. She continues to wow her fans, as seen in this Instagram post. Are the 60s the new 20s? We don’t know how she does it!
From her successful career to looking fantastic in a stunning orange bikini, Griffith works hard for all of it. She continues to impress long after her supposed prime. She doesn’t adhere to societal benchmarks, she just goes ahead and creates new ones. She's still got it!
Charlize Theron
Muse to fashion designers and directors alike, Charlize Theron’s appeal is enduring. The talented actor rose to fame in the ‘90s with films like “Cider House Rules” (1999) and “The Devil’s Advocate” (1997). And with more recent flicks like "Mad Max: Fury Road" under her belt, it is clear that the South African-born actress has aged very well.
Since then, she’s become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. But downtime Theron is as glamorous as the one on the red carpet. It’s hard to make jumping off a boat look like ballet, but Theron does. The 40-something star in a bikini is utter perfection. She only gets better with time.
Kate Hudson
Actress Kate Hudson considers herself ageless. We have no arguments there! Aftr all, this is the same Kate Hudson who starred in classics such as "Almost Famous" and "You, Me, and Dupree." Hudson is ready for summer, but is summer prepared for her? She sizzles in this striped halter neck bikini.
Plus, those retro sunglasses are giving us life! Hudson is at her girly best and isn't afraid to own it. Age is barely a consideration and nothing but a number for this mother of three who is in her 40s. We forgive you for thinking she might be the one still in school.
Heather Graham
The beautiful Heather Graham is known for playing traditionally liberated roles. She has been a breath of fresh air in movies such has "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" and "The Hangover," to name a few. But Graham is a self-professed serial monogamist in real life.
Who says she must be crazy-wild to set hearts ablaze? Take this picture, for instance. She's both smoking-hot and as cool as a cat in her animal-print bikini. Now-and-then pictures seem a moot concept because we can’t spot any differences over the years, can you? The actor is over 50 and hasn’t aged a day!
Gabriel Batistuta
Gabriel Batistuta, a walking legend in the world of soccer, has rightfully earned nicknames like Batigol and El Ángel Gabriel throughout his illustrious career. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, this Argentinian's remarkable talent and achievements continue to inspire awe.
It comes as no surprise that he still looks amazing, as if time has had no effect on him. Like a fine wine, he has aged gracefully, showcasing his timeless appeal. Recently, he captivated fans by sharing a photo of himself, shirtless and confidently preparing a delicious meal on the grill, exuding both charm and culinary prowess. Batistuta's enduring charisma shows his lasting impact on the world of soccer.
Cristian Ronaldo
Unlike a lot of other soccer players, Ronaldo is the kind of player that needs no introduction. Even people who know nothing about ball-kicking have heard of him. In short, he is arguably the greatest Portuguese soccer player to ever live and certainly one of the greatest the world has ever seen.
The Portuguese player won over 30 trophies throughout his career, so is it really that surprising that he has an amazing beach body to go along with all of his achievements? Even in the twilight of his career, Ronaldo continues to show how hard work, eating well, and commitment pays off in a big way.
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland is a young promising Norwegian player. Born in 2000, he's already a part of the legendary League club Manchester City as well as Norway's national team. If that's not impressive enough for you, in 2019 he was crowned the first teenager to ever score in five consecutive UEFA Champions League matches.
And in 2023, he helped City lift the Champions League for the very first time in their history - a staggering achievement. Haaland is famous for his strength and speed, which is why it doesn't surprise us to see that he looks great while soaking up the sun in a bathing suit.
Fabio Cannavaro
Sure, Fabio Cannavaro is not as young as some of the other names on this list, but that just makes his ability to look great in a swimsuit even more amazing. Born in 1973, the former Italian player worked wonders for both club and country as one of the fiercest defenders of his generation. He now works as a professional coach.
Cannavaro not only played for the likes of Juventus and Real Madrid, but he also captained the Italian national team that lifted the World Cup for the fourth time in 2006. He was unstoppable until 2011 when an injury-ridden season led him to retire.
Francesco Totti
Francesco Totti has stayed loyal to his country throughout his career, only ever playing for Roma and for the Italian national team. Not many soccer players are applauded for this level of commitment, but Totti has been. He has been celebrated for his vision, goalscoring, and technique as well.
With so much praise, it could have been easy for this player to let himself go, he has already proven more than enough. But as you can see from this picture, he's not one to let anything stop him. And who knows what is next for the golden boy of Rome?
Lionel Messi
Not many people can become a legend during their lifetime, but Lionel Messi did. Born in 1987, he still has a long life ahead of him, and yet it's clear he's already left his mark on the world. It seemed that he had nothing left to prove when he pretty much won everything there is to win with FC Barcelona.
But then he did the impossible and spearheaded Argentina to win their third World Cup in 2022. You bet that when's not playing, he knows how to enjoy life. How else would you explain this picture, where he and his wife are spending quality time on a beautiful beach?
Christian Pulisic
For some reason, when it comes to soccer, there aren't just as many famous Americans. But, Christian Pulisic is here to fix that. And it could also be argued that he is the first in what many are calling the new golden generation of the US Men's National Team. The American attacking midfielder plays both for team US, and for Chelsea.
While he hasn't exactly set the world alight in recent years, Pulisic will be the first name on the team sheet when the USMNT roll out at the World Cup in 2026, which will be co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He has gotten the nickname "Captain America" for obvious reasons. And he doesn't only possess talent, but also a great look that makes him popular with the ladies.
Robert Lewandowski
Polish player Robert Lewandowski is a striker for the Poland national team as well as for the La Liga club Barcelona. Prior to that, he had been smashing all kinds of records for the dominant soccer club in the German Bundesliga - FC Bayern Munich. But outside of soccer, Lewandowski loves nothing more than sweet family time.
Is there anything sweeter than seeing a father and a daughter spending quality time together? Lewandoski and his kid are seen chilling with each other in this adorable Instagram picture, to which he added the caption "Chillin' with my sunshine." We want more!
Zlatan Ibrahimović
What did Zlatan mean when he captioned this Instagram picture of him "Different Breed"? Honestly, we're not sure, but we also feel like that's beside the point. The Swedish player is known for his acrobatic skills, which he shows off when he's on the field.
Winning over 30 trophies throughout his career, he's one of the most awarded active soccer players on earth. You bet that if you saw this guy on the beach, all eyes would be on him, and with good reason. In 2023, Zlatan finally hung up his boots and called time on his illustrious career in soccer.
Kylian Mbappé
French soccer player Kylian Mbappé might have a name we're not sure how to pronounce, but there is one thing about him we're 100% sure of — he looks great in a pair of shorts! He's the definition of summer ready! In 2017, when he was just 18 years old, he signed a life-changing deal with Paris Saint-Germain. The deal was worth €180 million.
With that amount of cash at his disposal it's no wonder he looks this happy and healthy! Not to mention the fact that Mbappe has already played in two World Cup finals, won one of them, and won the Golden Boot for scoring the most goals in the 2022 competition. And he's still so young!
Karim Benzema
If you're not sure what's going on in this picture, let us break it down for you: many athletes opt for taking Ice cold baths in order to help with muscle recovery. It sounds excruciating, but hey, it does the trick! French professional footballer Karim, who has played for both the French national team and Real Madrid, seems to be a fan of this method.
Luckily for him, he somehow manages to look great despite being in freezing water! In 2023, Benzema called time on an incredible decade at Real and signed a lucrative deal to play for Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Arabian league.
Zinedine Zidane
Not many fathers can proudly stand in a bathing suit next to their sons and measure up. Still, when you're Zinedine Zidane you never say no to a challenge. Known as Zizou, the former soccer player and current professional soccer manager is regarded as one of the best players, like, ever.
But he has a mixed legacy with the French national team, having won the World Cup in 1998, but being sent off in the 2006 final after headbutting one of the opposition's players. Being past his prime when it comes to soccer playing means he gets to enjoy the fruits of labor, spending quality time on a yacht with his son.
Thierry Henry
Shirtless and smiling, the coach and former player looks beach ready! Born in 1977, Thierry Henry is still considered one of the best strikers to have lived on earth, and with so many other great strikers in existence, that says something about his level of skill and dedication.
Having already been a legend at a relatively young age, Henry took the English Premier League by storm when he helped Arsenal win the title about two decades ago. He went on play for FC Barcelona and helped the France national team reach the World Cup final in 2006. You know he has all the reasons in the world to smile for.
Lukas Josef Podolski
Posted just a little bit before his 36th birthday, Lukas Podolski added a caption saying he's still hungry for more, and we totally get him! Power posing in what seems like a hair salon, Lukas looks like he's ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. Podolski is a German player who has made a name for himself as someone with amazing technique and fierce attacks.
He is also known for having an amazing and accurate left foot. But most importantly, Podolski was part of that incredible German national team that went all the way in 2014, hammering Brazil 7-0 in the semi-final of the World Cup (in Brazil!) and going on to lift the trophy.
Gary Neville
Former player Gary Neville has found success after his retirement in being a coach, broadcaster, and businessman. He actually co-owns the English Football League club Salford City. But he is probably best known for having been a vital component of the Manchester United team that won the lucrative treble in 1999.
This included the English Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. Gary Neville retired over a decade ago, but as you can see from this picture, that does not mean he has let himself go! On the contrary, he still looks as fresh and confident as ever.
Tim Howard
You can always trust Tim Howard to remind us what's important in life — wearing sunscreen! Yes, even during the winter. The former American goalkeeper took to Instagram to show followers his beach-ready body and to remind us all to protect our skin.
The heavily tattooed player was deemed a rare creature by the Chicago Tribune, referring to how few American soccer heroes exist. Of course, Howard was one of the best goalkeepers in the English Premier League at one point, representing Everton. He also represented USMNT at the World Cup, breaking the record for the most saves in one match in the tournament's history.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Trent Alexander-Arnold captioned this picture with "Island Boy." While the soccer player is originally from England, we bet that now he gets to enjoy island life as much as he wants to, or at least, during the off-season. In 2016, when he was just 18 he made his debut. In 2018 and 2019, he played the UEFA Champions League finals.
After winning the latter, he has continued to accumulate wins, which is why we think he totally deserves his island vacation! While his defensive skills have often been questioned by soccer critics, there is no denying that Trent is the natural successor to David Beckham when it comes to Englishman who can bend the ball into the box (or top corner) like no one else.
Alisson Becker
Different people have different opinions when it comes to family members and friends matching outfits. But even those who hate the trend have to admit that this picture of Alisson Becker and his daughter in matching bathing suits is just too adorable to bear.
The Brazilian goalkeeper made his senior debut in 2013. In 2018 a deal with Liverpool worth £66.8 million made him the most expensive goalkeeper to have ever lived. But it was worth every penny, as Alisson helped Liverpool win every single major club trophy, including the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the League Cup, and the World Club Cup!
Kevin Trapp
Playing for both the Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt and the German national team, German goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has more than enough on his plate. But, it seems like he is not too busy to upload his own version of what can only refer to as a thirst Trapp (get it?).
Kevin is looking great while vacationing in Mykonos, Greece. He is wearing a light blue swimsuit and a bucket hat just makes us want to join him in the pool and chill for the rest of time. Honestly, he doesn't even have to be there, we just want to relax by the pool, please!
