It's no secret that celebs love showing off their figures to the millions of followers on their various social media profiles. When you're in the spotlight, it's sort of a given. And with their glamorous jet-setting lifestyles and frequent beach vacations, their Instagram accounts, in particular, tend to be swimsuit-galore.

But when some female stars reach a certain age, they tend to put their swimsuit-clad days firmly behind and opt for a more conservative look. Not former Bond girl Jane Seymour, though. The 69-year-old actress loves a good bathing suit shot - and she insists they're all unretouched.

“I don’t retouch any of those pictures, it’s just me out there,” Seymour told People magazine. “You can tell in the one in the waterfall, I certainly didn’t put hair and makeup and do anything for that. I was getting splashed by a serious, serious waterfall there.”

The actress also says the secret to feeling good in your own skin is making an effort - even after you've had children.

“I felt that there are a lot of people I know who just give up,” Seymour continues. “They have the babies and they say, ‘Okay, I’m done caring about how I look and staying in shape.’ And then I think they think that people like me go to exotic spas and do all kinds of special treatments and I don’t do any of that. I think I wanted to show people what would happen if you just did a very simple regimen like I do, where you’re not on any specialty diet, you eat as sensible as you can, everything in moderation.”

And you don't get to the age of 69 looking as fresh as Seymour without a regular skincare routine.

“I exfoliate really, really well," she adds. "Then I use Crepe Erase — and I tend to use a lot of it. I love it and I put it in the regular places, on my chest, my arms, my legs and even my face. It’s all about plumping this skin up and enabling it to reset itself, too.”

Vera Wang has left her fans in awe after sharing a selection of swimsuit snaps on Memorial Day.

Taking to Instagram on Monday, the legendary fashion designer showed off her youthful looks and slender figure as she posed poolside in a white bathing suit, complete with stylish sunglasses.

She caption the post to her 900,000+ followers: "My SLIM AARONS moment …Happy Summer!!!"

And Wang may as well have been posing at the Fountain of Youth itself, as she looked nowhere near her age, which just so happens to be... you won't believe me... honestly... she's 74!

Fans flooded the comments section with praise for the designer and business mogul, with one person writing: "Time bows down to you and stops moving."

A second admirer added: "HOW is it possible you look like this. I need to put down the slice of pizza immediately."

Others hailed Wang as "amazing", "stunning", and showered her with countless flame emojis.

And this certainly isn't the first time Wang has sent social media into a frenzy regarding her ageless appearance - with fans long begging the designer for her beauty tips.

Well, ask and you shall receive, because Vera's secret to looking so youthful is actually very achievable.

In 2022, Wang participated in an interview for BBC 100 Women, where she candidly discussed the comments she's received amid the online attention over her youthful appearance.

During the interview Wang said that - other than having a good night's sleep - another thing she "values" is having a vodka cocktail at the end of the day, as it helps her "transition from a very intense work schedule" to a "bit of a private life".

Elsewhere during the discussion, Wang admitted that her role in the fashion industry has helped contribute to her youthful appearance. "I've been in fashion since I was 19 years old. Not in front of the camera, behind it. I never thought about youth, probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis," she said.

"And because of that I more envision them as my muses, and maybe it's a way of dealing with aging that is productive. So I always said that vodka cocktail, a lot of sleep, but work - work is the magic elixir," she added.

That's funny, because I work hard and yet I look like one of those hairless sphynx cats.

Another thing Wang is partial to is a McDonald's (again, much like myself).

Speaking to Page Six at the DKMS Gala earlier this year, Vera admitted: "I do eat McDonald's, absolutely, I order it every day, like two weeks on it, and then I’ll change."

She added that she also loves to get a Dunkin' Donut, revealing: "I like the cream-filled, sugar-coated donut. It’s like a jelly donut, but it’s cream inside, vanilla cream. I like the pink with sprinkles, too."

It's not all good eating though, as she also revealed that her strong work ethic also helps to keep her young in body and mind, explaining: "Basically, I've worked my whole life, so it's really been about work.

"I think work keeps you young and stimulated. I work very long hours, I’ve raised two daughters. I think keeping busy is the best antidote [for] good health."

She had previously espoused the benefits of working over retiring, telling Elle that her company, which she started at the age of 40, keeps her young in "mind, body, and soul."

So, vodka, McDonald's, donuts, and work... all I need is the sleep and I'll look like a baby.

While it's true that many of us have spent January frantically trying to get back into some sort of shape following a Christmas of overindulging in just about anything edible or drinkable, it's got to be said that it's not easy to keep relentlessly working out over the cold winter months.

There's definitely something about January and February that just saps energy out of you, isn't there? Maybe it's the fact that it's the start of another new year, and you're trying so hard to not break your resolutions that you just end up exhausted. Maybe it's the freezing cold weather and early, dark nights.

Watch as Elizabeth Hurley shows off her "Ninja Skills" on the beach:

Whatever it is, it doesn't seem as though Liz Hurley is suffering the effects of the new year blip, as she's just posted a new bikini snap to Instagram looking just as toned as ever.

And fans couldn't get over just how youthful 54-year-old Liz Hurley looks, with many taking to the comments section to heap praise on the actress and model.

"You’re literally goals????? saw you on runaways, you look fantastic!!!" wrote one enthused follower, while another added "Making girls half your age look badd??????❤️❤️❤️??"

A third simply wrote, If it was for the sun I would swear you were a vampire all ageless and s**t??."

And fans couldn't stop commenting on how the actress seemingly hasn't aged a day over the intervening years, one wrote, "You literally don't age!!!! How why what ❤️?," while another said, "Still looks 29 How does she do it?!"

Basically, it's fair to say that Elizabeth Hurley's many, many fans are still taken aback on a daily basis by how great she looks. It looks as though the post was also an homage to Elizabeth Hurley Beach, which sells beachware, swimwear and accessories, since she hashtagged the business in her post.

Vera Wang has once again stunned audiences as she showed off her youthful glow at the BAFTAs last night.

Sunday night's glitzy BAFTAs event saw some incredible looks on the red carpet including iconic 'fits by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy in her elaborate bronze Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress and Sheila Atim in her strapless metallic Prada gown.

However, there was one woman who stood out from the rest, not just for her beautiful choice of dress, but also for her immense presence at the award show, and of course, it was none other than the queen of bridal couture, Vera Wang.

The 73-year-old designer had us all hooked with her ensemble which consisted of a simple black crop top underneath a white silk asymmetric dress. Paired with a delicate pearl necklace and her staple black sunglasses, the fashion guru showed us that age literally is just a number when it comes to slaying on the red carpet.

Of course, fans couldn't help but post about Wang online, with many branding her as "immortal."

"Vera Wang seems immortal with her sultry youthful look at BAFTAs! If I could look half of what she looks likes, it’d be something!" wrote one user, while another just had to emphasize the veteran's age: "Just a reminder to everyone that Vera Wang is 73 YEARS OLD."

Another stated that Wang made it onto their best-dressed list this year.

"My #BestDressed from the #BAFTAs Hayley Atwell, Florence Pugh, Ariana DeBose, Cynthia Erivo, Geri Halliwell, Vera Wang and Catherine Zeta Jones" - an iconic line-up indeed.

In the past, the 73-year-old has been pretty open about the regime that keeps her looking so youthful, telling the BBC: "I’ve got to be really honest, one of them is sleep," while the other is slightly more surprising.

"I value having a vodka cocktail at the end of the day. Because it helps me to transition from a very intense work schedule to a bit of a private life."

Wang went on to say that she "never thought about youth" during her years working in fashion, "probably because I work with the most beautiful women in the world on a daily basis."

"Because of that, I more envision them as my muses,” she explained, before adding that it was "maybe a way of dealing with aging that is productive."

However, she also told the outlet that despite this, she's not going out of her way to "preserve" her youth in an "obsessive way", before going on to slam ageism as "old-fashioned."

"You have to try and continue to grow in one way or another," she concluded.

She's not wrong there, but if we could all age as gracefully as her, I'm sure that'll be a great added bonus.

Fans have praised Martha Stewart after the revelation of her Sports Illustrated cover.

The 81-year-old showed off her amazing physique in a series of gorgeous photographs alongside Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader, who also graced their own separate covers for the publication.

In an interview with Today on Monday, the wellness guru opened up about the entire process behind the history-making photoshoot.

"I'm sort of shaking because it's odd to go to an island and get changed into nine different bathing suits in one day in front of all those people," Stewart said, after debuting the cover for the first time on the show. "I like that picture... And it all turned out okay!"

It turned out more than just "okay", that's for sure.

Taking to Instagram last night (May 15), Stewart shared a glimpse of some of the final snapshots, raking in thousands of likes and comments under the post.

Initially, it seemed as though some people were a little hesitant about the editing of the pictures with one user commenting: "Oh c**p, now we gotta look, when we’re 80. Can’t we all just be saggy and fine with it? When does it end?! So exhausting."

Another also added: "Ok so I am loving that an 81-year-old is in sports illustration but can we show her real body!!!! After 60 I don’t care who u are the skin gets [c****y] no matter how many weights u lift! And obviously she has had work done. How about putting a real natural woman in your magazine! Not an airbrushed version of reality."

However, others jumped in to defend the star, praising her for being brave enough to grace such a big cover.

This user commented: "I have learned over the years that women that are generally Happy + positive in their thinking usually aging better. Period! What Martha wants, she works hard & strategically to achieve & she inspires others. Bravo!"

And another described her as an "inspiration", saying: "Thanks for being an inspiration for those of us in our 60’s and 70’s!"

"Classy and beautiful! Martha you just get better with age," commended this user.

And someone else described her as a "mature beauty," adding: "Fabulous!!! About time for mature beauties on the issue cover."

Similarly, another Instgrammer chimed in commending the star for "proving that hot at any age is still hot."

During her interview with Today, the 81-year-old also revealed details about undergoing a strict regime in order to maintain her physique.

"I didn't starve myself, but I didn't eat any bread or pasta for a couple of months," she told the hosts. "I went to Pilates every other day and that was great; I'm still going to Pilates every other day 'cause it's so great. And I just, I live a clean life anyway — good diet and good exercise and healthy skincare and all of that stuff."

She also explained how her appearance has become "a testament for good living."

"I think all of us should think about good living, successfully living, and not aging," she told the hosts. "The whole aging thing is so boring. You know what I mean? I have a hospital called the Center for Living at Mt. Sinai. I started this hospital with Mt. Sinai and it's all about growing old gracefully.

"We don't think about aging, we think about successful living and we try to install in people the desire to eat well, exercise well, have friends to have pets — to do all the things that make you happy as you get older. So that's what I'm all about," Stewart added.

We really do love to hear it!

Martha Stewart's cover is available to purchase from Sports Illustrated.
