Age is just a number when it comes to going au naturel!
While the media frequently presents images of younger, unclothed celebs, there’s a league of older stars challenging outdated societal norms by flaunting their bodies in the buff.
In a revealing Instagram post in 2022, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova discussed society’s objectification of women while reclaiming her sexuality at an older age.
“In a patriarchal society, women have always been seen as objects of desire or nurture… This is why youth and beauty are such a strong currency,” she captioned. “I’ve come to wonder if objectification falls mainly into the realm of youth. When I was a young model exposing my body, it was because someone else approved of it.”
She continued, “Now when I expose my body, it [is] with my full knowledge and consent. Hence, celebration.”
From Porizkova’s cheeky mirror selfie to here are some celebs over 50 who’ve struck a pose naked.

Porizkova has an archive of Instagram photos that prove angles are everything. Exhibit A: this bathroom butt selfie (a.k.a. a “belfie”) she snapped during a trip to Rome in 2021.
“My hotel Eden in Rome, has, besides a beautiful room I’m staying in, this pretty happening bathroom,” the model captioned the risqué photo. “After work and a leisurely bath, I was bored, which led to this celebration of narcissism, the naked selfie.”

Heidi Klum is always happy to share a look at her sun-worshipping ways (as she did in this 2023 pic) because she loves to celebrate her body, even if it means her kids have to give her a heads’ up when friends are coming over.
“I’m also probably going to be the girl on the beach with no top on when I’m 60,” Klum told PEOPLE in 2016. “Maybe my stomach and my boobs are not going to be the same way they are now. But it’s just who I am. I am more of a free person. I’m more nudist that way. I’m fearless. I don’t think that will change. I’m gonna be that 60-year-old woman laying on the beach with just my bottoms on.”

For what it’s worth, she’s also happy to pose pantsless, as she did with a strategic slice of pie in 2021.

“Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world,” she wrote, adding that the photo was “taken this afternoon… in my birthday suit xxx.”

Part of making art is being totally uninhibited, so it stands to reason Sharon Stone would want to create in the buff. “Sometimes I just have to go from pool to painting,” she wrote on this 2024 photo.

Why did Valerie Bertinelli decide to pose nude on the cover of her 2026 memoir, after years of struggling with her body image?
“Because getting naked emotionally was the most important part of the book, I thought ‘Well, I might as well expose myself there too,’” the star told PEOPLE. “Part of me also feels like at this age, if I can look good, do it. And I don’t know what I’m going to look like when I’m 80 but at 65 it looks pretty f—ing good. I think you’re allowed to feel good about yourself. I have felt bad about myself for too many decades. I’m going to feel good about myself now.”

Campbell posed topless on the cover of i-D magazine’s Spring 2021 issue. She also risked it all in the name of fashion when she went nude in the notoriously dirty New York City Subway for Valentino’s Pre-Fall 2019 accessories campaign in July 2020.
The supermodel sat on the train — sans clothing — with just a black studded handbag draped on her shoulder for the spot. She was also photographed waiting on the platform using only a bag to cover herself.

Shortly after her 60th birthday in July 2023, Lisa Rinna marked the occasion with a full-frontal mirror selfie, with brown emojis covering her nipples and vagina.
“Moira Rose says you should take as many naked pics of yourself while you still can and celebrate it,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum wrote on her Instagram Stories, nodding to the Schitt’s Creek character played by Catherine O’Hara. “OK, Moira.”
Rinna was alluding to a scene from the Schitt’s Creek season 2 episode, “Moira’s Nudes,” when Moira tells Stevie Budd (Emily Hampshire): “Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, ‘Oh, I’m too spooky.’ Or, ‘Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.’ But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, ‘Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!’ “

In 2019, the late Suzanne Somers famously posed topless in a sultry Instagram photo shot by her husband, Alan Hamel.
“We were walking on the hillside road [on her property], and I think it was like June. It was hot and dry,” she explained in 2020. “I said, ‘Oh my god, the foliage here is the same color as my hair.’ Because, by that time, all the weeds and bushes had turned yellow.”
“So I got down and said, ‘Take a picture of me. The weeds will look like my hair,’ ” Somers said. “I took my top down because I was with my husband, and he took that great picture.”
