The Academy Award-winning actress, 64, gave her Instagram followers a cheeky display when she posted a snapshot wearing only a bikini bottom and some necklaces yesterday.

Looking up at the sunny sky with a joyful laugh, Sharon Store sported a green leopard print bikini bottom in the photo, and a striped towel draped around her shoulders to cover part of her breasts. She accessorized her look with multiple gold necklaces and kept her blonde hair loose. And the whole thing somehow just emphasizes her washboard abs and mega-defined legs. With over 100k likes, Stone received praise from other celebrities who thought her topless photo was iconic.

This isn’t the first leopard bikini moment the star has shown off this month; earlier in July, she posted a gorgeous snap of herself lounging in a Sicilian pool alongside her stylist, Paris Libby, while wearing a grey leopard two-piece. Stone, who currently stars in “The Flight Attendant,” has experienced an epic few fashion months. She was the belle of the ball at May’s Cannes Film Festival, rocking one stunning evening gown after the next, including a sexy red Dolce and Gabbana gown for the “Elvis” premiere.

The 64-year-old actress likes doing Pilates three to five times a week, she said in an interview back in 2017. She elaborated that on a good day, she might work really hard for an hour and 15 minutes on a Pilates machine. But if her body doesn’t feel willing, she instead replaces her pilates with regular stretches for 30 to 40 minutes. Like everybody, she has good days and not-so-good days and for such low time, she motivates her fan “to listen to your body.”

Sharon’s rough past

Over the years, Stone has had some eye-opening experiences that have turned her toward gratitude in big ways. Life wasn’t always so picturesque, nor is it for anyone, ever. In June, for example, she opened up about experiencing nine miscarriages to start a family. And as she details in her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, at the age of 43, a sudden brain hemorrhage and stroke nearly took her life. That same year, she had tumors removed from her chest, only to wake up with breast implants that the surgeon gave her without consent because they “go better with your hip size,” he told her.

The book also details how she has narrowly escaped death no fewer than seven times, surviving, among other things, a car crash, two massive hemorrhages, and a stroke, and how she was only allowed to follow her acting dream after her older brother Mike was jailed for dealing cocaine. All of this trauma understandably led to a dark period for the star, who disappeared from the spotlight for seven years and lost the mortgage on her home and custody of her adopted son. The actor has previously spoken about accepting and loving her body as she ages. Speaking to Allure in 2019, Stone said she’s grateful for her body, a sentiment echoed in the recent photo’s caption.
