Catherine Zeta-Jones is celebrating her 55th birthday in the boldest way possible—by baring it all.

The Welsh actress, 55, took to Instagram on Wednesday, September 25, to share a stunning black-and-white photo of herself wearing nothing but a pair of black heels. In the sultry shot, she’s standing in a bathroom with tousled hair, hands on the sink, gazing at her reflection.

“In my birthday suit! After over 25 years of sharing my birthday with my husband, I am running out of gift ideas! This is gift option two, golf balls being option one…of course,” she cheekily captioned the post.

Naturally, the comments section went wild, with fans and celebs alike applauding her.

Alec Baldwin joked, “The photo. No time for golf.” Another fan quipped, “Listen, if my body looks like this at her age, I’m gonna post all the nudes and not give a flying fig about what any of y’all think.” One commenter even referenced her husband Michael Douglas, writing, “Let’s be fair, if Catherine looks like that NOW, every day is a birthday for Michael!”

Speaking of Douglas, the couple shares the same birthday—though they’re 25 years apart in age. Over on his Instagram, the Last Vegas star posted a sweet clip of Zeta-Jones and Bono (yes, the Bono from U2) singing him happy birthday, while holding a small round cake with an extra tall candle.

“What a lovely gift! Thank you all for your kind birthday wishes and messages! We love you all! @catherinezetajones @u2,” the 80-year-old actor captioned the post.

His comments were equally lit up, with fans saying things like, “I want Bono to sing to me for my birthday!” and, “What a lovely video!”

Zeta-Jones and Douglas first met at the Deauville Film Festival in France in 1998. The couple, who tied the knot in 2000, are proud parents to son Dylan, 24, and daughter Carys, 21. Douglas also has a 45-year-old son, Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker.
