Vanessa Williams is defying father time.
The 58-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday morning to share a beautiful snap from the beach. In the image, the actress donned a white bikini from Vix Swimwear that perfectly complemented her sun-kissed body.
The picturesque photo shows the waves of the ocean gently crashing into the beach as the sun appears to be setting.
"Are we doing bikini shots in our early 50s? Ok," she captioned the photo.
Vanessa's 517,000 Instagram followers marveled at the photo and her impeccably fit body. Fans commented with fire emojis and with emojis that were sweating. "Let 'em know woman!," one fan wrote. Another called the "Desperate Housewives" star the "Baddest Bishhhhh Around."
The former beauty pageant queen recently spoke of her diet and fitness regimen with Prevention magazine. Her No. 1 diet tip is simply cutting down portions.
"If you're full, stop. Push the plate away — you don't have to finish it all," she said.
Vanessa has also been a longtime fan of pilates. In fact, she was really going pilates before it ever caught on and became a mainstream workout.
"I was doing Pilates before people even knew how to spell Pilates. I started with [Pilates guru] Mari Winsor after my first child, 22 years ago," she said. "[Mari] used to come backstage and do a mat floor workout with me when I was doing 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' on Broadway. Core strength balances your entire body. It pulls your shoulders back, tucks in your pelvis, makes you walk straighter, and gives you great posture."
Vanessa adds that isn't afraid to sweat it out on the dance floor, as she loves salsa dancing.
"I started in '97 as training for a movie I did called Dance with Me. I go out and salsa with friends, especially in the summertime," she said. "Now, that's incredible cardio! Not only are you dancing nonstop, but the music keeps you going — you could be dancing for hours and dripping with sweat and not even feel like you're winded or working."
