Supermodel Claudia Schiffer has been hailed as a "goddess" by adoring fans and followers after posing in a bikini for her 53rd birthday.

The German beauty - who turned 53 last Friday (August 25) - gave her nearly two million Instagram followers a sneak peek into her special day.

For the birthday festivities in Greece, Schiffer sported a colorful Dolce & Gabbana bikini, which featured a red, blue, white, and yellow pattern, with simple white sunglasses and a gold, heart-shaped necklace. She also wore her platinum blonde locks down.

"Celebrating in Greek paradise, featuring a special friend who came to wish me happy birthday," she captioned the post, which included a heartwarming video of her posing with a butterfly resting on her hand and smiling as it flew away.

Check out Schiffer's post below:

One of the pictures in the Vogue cover star's carousel displayed her posing in a poolside room with giant "Happy Birthday" balloons, and a third snap showed her standing in front of the beautiful Greek scenery.

The stunning supermodel also shared a picture of her birthday cake, which was a chocolate-covered bundt cake decorated with candles and sparklers. The words "Happy Birthday" were written in icing on the plate next to it.

Like butterflies, many users flew to the comment section to wish the model a happy birthday and gush over her incredible, never-aging look.

One person sweetly penned that she was a "beautiful goddess and her magic butterfly" and added: "Happy Birthday, Queen Claudia! Eternally beautiful."

Another said: "Claudia! You look spectacular," while a third chimed in: "You’re just perfection! Adored you since 1990! Bought your beautiful books 📖! Your hair and skin looks gorgeous Claudia. HBD."

And, a fourth shared: "Simply pretty amazing Claudia…. You are a sunshine."

Speaking of aging gracefully, the mom-of-two recently revealed in an article about "forever fashion" she wrote for The Guardian in April that she still fits into the same jeans she wore on the Chanel runway in 1993.

In the piece, Schiffer said that her "truly precious pieces of clothing are all connected with a story or a moment in time," and cited the Karl Lagerfeld-designed denim outfit she wore three decades ago.

"I've worn these jeans on many occasions - they never go out of style and have stood the test of time because of the classic cut (high waist, straight leg), as well as the intense shade of French blue and unique embroidered detailing," she said. "They are a part of my life as much as any treasured piece of jewelry or favorite artwork.”

The model added that the jeans "have not required any repairs" and are "gently faded," adding: "They are a part of my life as much as any treasured piece of jewelry or favorite artwork. And, to be honest, I like the fact that they still fit me!"
