At 65, Sharon Stone reminds us that we can gracefully embrace our age and still be at the peak of our appeal. The star’s latest post has set pulses racing, and some brought up an interesting detail in the photo that only eagle-eyed fans could notice.
She’s effortlessly cool.
The Basic Instinct star shared with her 3.7 million Instagram followers a selfie showcasing her toned figure in green with a black leopard print bikini.
Sharon looked cool and casual, with her signature short blond hair and black sunglasses, while she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
In the photo, which was casually taken in the living room of the actress’s Beverly Hills mansion, we could see exciting background decor and furniture, such as a leaf print sofa, a modern statue, and a framed picture of one of her all-time favorite actresses, Marilyn Monroe.
A tiny surprise in the photo.
Fans spotted one adorable detail in the photo which truly stole the show: Stone’s dog, Bandit.
The star adopted the French Bulldog back in 2018. And in the photo, he was almost invisible as he totally blended with the neutral colors of the sofa. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to pinpoint his head popping in the photo.
Her lifestyle is admirable.
A couple of years ago, the mother of three boys opened up about the tricks she swears by in order to keep her svelte figure.
Some of these include having an 8-hour-a-night sleeping routine, keeping her body active by doing lunges and swimming and taking baths filled with arnica and Dead Sea salts.
She keeps her eating habits simple and healthy. Stone noted ’’My favorite breakfast is watermelon with feta cheese and mint, with olive oil and salt and pepper,’’
She added, ’’And then I usually have a piece of gluten-free sourdough toast with that and an herbal tea.’’
Sharon also revealed that whenever her stomach is upset, she drinks ’’lemon and ginger teas and peppermint teas and these kinds of gentle herb things.’’ The actress added, ’’I’m very gentle with myself and the things that I use,’’
And Stone’s precious words remind us that self-love is the biggest secret to looking fabulous because it is only when we truly feel comfortable in our body that our inner light shines on the outside.
Although Stone keeps smiling and loving life, she has had to face many challenges and tragic events lately. And recently, she opened up about losing half of her money, and her words made us admire this strong woman even more.

31-Year-Old Hailey Merkt’s Cancer Battle Ends in Tragedy—Fans Are Devastated
Hailey Merkt, who appeared on Season 21 of *The Bachelor*, has died at the age of 31 after a fight with cancer, her family announced.
“We are heartbroken to share that our dear Hailey has passed away after a brave battle with cancer,” her family wrote on Instagram. “Hailey faced this challenge with incredible strength, grace, and selflessness.”
Hailey was known for her humor and lively personality, and her passing has deeply affected everyone who knew her.
Her family added that Hailey’s determination and will to live went beyond what doctors expected. In her final moments, she was surrounded by loved ones and did what she loved most, with no regrets. Hailey died on July 26.
Hailey’s family described her as someone who truly lived life to the fullest and made a lasting impression on everyone she met. “She will be remembered as anything but boring—always hysterically funny and fully present in every moment,” they said.

Hailey had been open about her fight with leukemia, sharing her journey and reflections with her social media followers.
Her family started a GoFundMe page to support her, where they mentioned that she had undergone a bone marrow transplant earlier this year. This procedure initially gave her hope, with doctors predicting she had nine months to live without cancer concerns. Unfortunately, just six weeks later, she discovered that leukemia cells had returned aggressively.
Throughout her battle with cancer, Hailey stayed positive, sharing her treatment experiences on Instagram along with fashion and lifestyle inspiration. In an October post, she even shared a rare smile from during her treatment, captioning it: “A rare moment caught smiling during treatment :).”

Danielle Maltby shared a touching message: “I feel so lucky to have known your laugh and to have met and loved the warmest, most beautiful soul in the strangest of places Forever grateful for your friendship both there and in the real world… What a force, my girl. Rest easy Sending so much love to all your people.”

Raven Gates added: “Oh my gosh!!! I’m so, so sad to hear this I was hoping for her recovery. Rest easy, Hailey You’ll never be forgotten.”
In accordance with Hailey’s wishes, there will be no official funeral. Her family hopes that those who knew her will keep her memory alive by cherishing the moments they shared with her, as noted on the GoFundMe page.
