Brooke Shields is embracing her 60s with grace and confidence.

The Pretty Baby actress opened up about her changing relationship with beauty in June, just weeks after she celebrated her 61st birthday in May. She told NewBeauty she had become more comfortable and confident in herself as she grew older and that she began appreciating aspects of herself that once bothered her in her 20s.

"From the beauty industry, the message is: Once you're over 40 and no longer able to bear children, you lose all your currency," Shields told the outlet. "I started analyzing how the beauty industry marketed to women, and saw this huge white space. We jump right from 'hot girl at the bar' to Depends and dentures β€” nothing in between. All the women I know who are 40, 50, 60 are fabulous. They've raised families, run companies, they have time and means to invest in themselves."

In 2021, she founded Beginning Is Now, an online community that aims to encourage women β€” particularly those over 40 β€” to embrace aging and build confidence. It later inspired her to launch her hair-care brand, Commence.

Scroll down to see some of Shields' hottest moments through the years as she continues to inspire women to celebrate their beauty at every age.

Brooke Shields celebrated her 61st birthday in May.

Shields flaunted her enviable abs in a bright red bikini and black high heels for Swimsuits For All's Power Suit campaign in May 2018.

The mom-of-two, who was 52 at the time, said she "finally felt comfortable" with her body after "growing up under such scrutiny" that led her to feel insecure about her looks.

"Feeling disconnected from my own body, it took me years to separate the opinions of others from my own," she told People.

"At 52 years old, I finally feel comfortable and proud of all the hard work I've put into my body," Shields continued, adding she finally felt "confident being in [her] own skin."
