Just a day prior, Zeta-Jones hinted at her summer readiness by sharing two striking black-and-white photos. One image showed her standing on a balcony in a striped bikini that highlighted her figure. She posed with her hands playfully holding a wide-brimmed black sun hat.

She displayed her toned abs and wore oversized black sunglasses while making a goofy face. "Officially Summer Chez Moi," she captioned the post, which also included a photo of her diving into a swimming pool.
Fans were captivated by her playful and confident spirit, perfectly capturing the essence of summer. Many shared their thoughts, with comments like, "WOW," and another asking, "Oh darling! Are you really that slim and sleek?"
One admirer gushed over Zeta-Jones' ageless appearance, noting, "At 54 looking 45 and a body of a 20-year-old[sic]." Another simply wrote, "Stunning." A different fan praised the actress's toned physique, writing, "What a wonderful shape! Well done!"
The actress has never been shy about flaunting her stunning body in a variety of swimsuits. Despite this confidence, she has expressed concern about the unrealistic beauty standards imposed on younger women by social media.
In a candid interview, Zeta-Jones revealed her empathy for young women overwhelmed by the barrage of perfect images online. "I really feel sorry for my daughter's generation who are inundated with images on social media with filters," she said.

She pointed out that social media often fails to show the true essence of a woman. Reflecting on her own experiences, Zeta-Jones mentioned that she wasn't raised in the age of social media. She added that if she had been, it might have significantly impacted her self-esteem.
The mom of two also admitted that there were times she had to put on a brave face, particularly during high-profile events like walking the red carpet. Despite her celebrity status, Zeta-Jones confessed to having her own insecurities.
However, she has learned to manage them over time. As she gets older, she has grown more comfortable and confident in her skin, embracing her natural beauty rather than succumbing to societal pressures.
Still, a little makeup goes a long way for the actress. She particularly enjoys doing eye makeup, often using mascara and eyeliner. Zeta-Jones also loves experimenting with different makeup products. The actress admitted that she has tried every makeup item under the sun, thanks to some of the world's greatest makeup artists.
When it comes to anti-aging treatments, Zeta-Jones believes in doing whatever makes her happy. She acknowledges the different anti-aging options available but emphasizes that using them doesn't mean someone ends up looking unnatural.
For her, it's all about self-confidence. The celebrated actress believes that inner confidence is incredibly empowering for women, allowing them to feel beautiful and strong in their skin.

The actress has always been known for her curvaceous figure, which she has maintained even after having two children with her husband, Michael Douglas.
Speaking about getting her body back in shape, Catherine Zeta-Jones shared it takes a lot of time and that in the current era, sometimes it feels like a race to see who can get back in shape the quickest after having kids.

She remarked that she was quite sensible with her approach, doing a lot of swimming and considering starting tap dancing lessons once the kids went back to school. She also emphasized the importance of eating sensibly.
One thing she doesn't eat is peanut butter, despite it being one of her children's favorite foods. The Hollywood star revealed she never had it growing up and doesn't like the consistency, having tried both chunky and smooth. While her husband and kids love it, she confessed that it makes her feel like she's about to lose it or throw up.
Zeta-Jones and Douglas welcomed their first child, Dylan Douglas, in August 2000, and married later that same year in November at The Plaza in New York. According to the Welsh actress, it was the longest wedding the venue had ever hosted, meant to end at 6 p.m. but instead continuing until 6 a.m. the next day.
The couple welcomed their daughter Carys Douglas three years later. For 12 years, they raised their children in Bermuda—where Douglal's mother was from—away from the paparazzi.

According to the actress, they wanted their kids to have a normal childhood, not being photographed every day while going to school. Also, they didn't want their young children at the time to be on film sets with a tutor.
The actress stressed that at the time if she was working, her husband would be home watching over the children. And if Douglas was working, they would switch roles. Now both in their twenties, their children have grown up out of the constant media spotlight.
Zeta-Jones continues to captivate with her timeless beauty and dedication to family life. Balancing her successful career with her role as a mother, she embraces her natural elegance and advocates for self-confidence.
