Denise Austin shows off bikini body while vacationing in the south of France
Denise Austin is putting her bikini body on display as she soaks up the sun on her Mediterranean vacation.
Last week, Austin took to Instagram to share photos of herself vacationing in Cassis, France, and feeling "strong, healthy, and SO HAPPY."
"Feeling strong, healthy, and SO HAPPY here in gorgeous Bay Cassis!!! There's nothing like a little sunshine, fresh sea air, and a swim in the Mediterranean to lift your spirits and keep you feeling GOOD!!" the professional fitness coach wrote.
"Vacation is the perfect time to stay active and take care of YOU. Whether it's a quick swim, a walk by the water, or just soaking in nature's beauty… it all adds up to a healthy body and a happy mind!! Let's keep moving, smiling, and enjoying every moment together!! xoxoxo."
In the pictures, Denise was wearing a blue bikini with white trim as she posed on steps leading into the water. She paired her look with gold, dangling earrings and tortoise shell glasses as she smiled for the camera.
"Vacation is the perfect time to stay active and take care of YOU."
A few days before she shared the post, she uploaded two other bikini photos from her recent vacation.
In these shots, Austin wore a bright red bikini as she was about to climb down steps leading to the ocean. In the second picture, Austin was holding a life ring that had the words "Les Roches Blanches" printed along the side.
"We're soaking up the SUNSHINE in beautiful Cassis, France!!! WOW, the water is the most stunning shade of BLUE I've ever seen!!!" Austin captioned this post.
"There's just something so magical about the Mediterranean Sea… a quick dip is all it takes to feel totally refreshed, recharged and alive! I'm savoring every second of this special trip… the salty sea air, the warm sunshine on my skin, and the joy of being surrounded by such breathtaking beauty!!! Taking time to relax, unwind, and be present - it's SO GOOD for the soul!! Sending you all a big HUG from the South of France!! xoxoxo."
In January 2024, Austin gave Fox News Digital her tips for weight loss in her 60s.
"Just do something that makes you feel good," Austin told Fox News Digital. "I love to walk for fitness. I love to do light weights to get strong and stay strong. I like to stretch and do yoga. Mixing it up is really fabulous. That way, you're surprising different muscle groups, and you kind of keep everything going and not plateau.
"I really think anybody that enjoys what they're doing — maybe it's pickleball, tennis, any form of fitness — just move. Move as often as you can. Standing up burns more calories than sitting down."
Austin, who has sold more than 24 million exercise videos and DVDs throughout her career, authored a dozen books and starred in a fitness television show, said there's one simple trick anyone could do to stay fit and lose weight.
"My favorite tip, I tell everybody, is good posture. Posture tells a lot about somebody," Austin said. "If you're slouched over, first of all, your tummy has nowhere else to go but out. But if you sit up nice and tall, put your shoulders down and back and zip up those abs.
"Keeping your spine healthy is so important. And then when you're standing up nice and tall, you can kind of tighten up your tummy for five seconds. That's equal to one situp. So, you could be doing these isometric exercises throughout the day that really work your muscles."

How to save money on your holiday to Switzerland as Women's Euro 2025 kicks off
Switzerland is the place to be this summer, with the alpine country set to host the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 football tournament – with the final being held in Basel just months after the city welcomed 500,000 visitors for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest. Known as the "Land of Milk and Honey" due to its prosperity and beautiful landscapes, and reputedly the "Playground of Europe" as a top destination for outdoor pursuits, Switzerland regularly features highly in global quality of life indices. However, the high standard of living, high wages and strong economy that Switzerland is renowned for are matched by correspondingly high prices — meaning it can be costly to visit. But with a little creativity, some planning and a willingness to embrace the great outdoors, it is possible to enjoy everything Switzerland has to offer while sticking to a budget. Smartphones are invaluable for travelling, so long as you make sure to avoid high roaming costs by choosing an appropriate package with your network provider, buying an international eSim or using wifi. But while most tourists readily use their phones for services such as Google (GOOG) Maps, it is worth remembering that many locations are increasingly creating apps to showcase their cities. Just look up your destination in your phone's app store to see what's available. Read more: How to save money on a holiday to Dubai Basel, for example, has a free audio walking tour to guide you through the city's medieval Old Town along five different routes, or just listen to entries as you pass them by looking at the in-built map, while the free ARTour app projects augmented reality artworks on to some of the city's most famous sites. Google Translate can also be your friend when it comes to sightseeing for free. Zurich, for example, has loads of informative blue plaques across the city. Download the app, hold your camera up to the sign and select the language you want to translate from. You can even download languages to use offline. Also invaluable when it comes to translating menus. Many Swiss towns and cities offer some kind of visitor card that will include free or discounted access to a wide range of attractions and activities, and public transport. These are sometimes free, sometimes for a fee, so check whether it's worth it for you — particularly as many cities are very walkable. Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne all have one, and they're also available in smaller places such as Lugano, Fribourg and Montreaux. If you're in the federal city (fun fact: Switzerland doesn't have a capital), you can get a Bern Ticket for travel on public transport that can be activated on the Bern Welcome app, which offers useful information, event listings and inspiration for eating out, alongside an interactive city map and bike tours. A full list of visitor cards can be found on Many cities also have free walking tours, where you tip the guide at the end, with a list of available tours across the country available on the Free Walk Switzerland website. And, of course, there's also the time-honoured tradition of walking and looking up — or following a map from the local tourist office. Your phone can also prove invaluable to buy transport tickets as and when you need them, with many cities and regions having a bespoke app, such as Zurich's ZVV app. The SBB Mobile app of the Swiss federal railway also enables you to look up train times and buy tickets, and you can also use the Trainline app (TRN.L) to look up and purchase tickets across Europe. But for those really wanting to make the most of your trip, consider getting a Swiss Travel Pass — described as the "all-in-one ticket for Switzerland". This gives you unlimited travel by train, bus and boat on consecutive days, plus scenic routes, as well as many other advantages including free or discounted entry to over 500 museums and other attractions across the country. Prices start at CHF244 (£223/$295) for a three-day pass in second class and seat reservation fees apply. The Swiss Travel Card facilitates flexible travel to anywhere in the country, on some of the most beautiful railway routes in the world. It also covers the Glacier Express between St Moritz and Zermatt (although a seat reservation is mandatory and costs a fee). Read more: 13 tips for a luxury holiday to Dubai You may not think you need a boat ticket for such a landlocked country, but Switzerland is as much a country of lakes as it is of mountains and an hour-long cruise around Lake Geneva, for example, can be a lovely way to see a city from a different angle, while also resting your feet. When it comes to getting to Switzerland in the first place, SWISS offers more than 160 weekly flights from London Heathrow, London City, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh to Zurich or Geneva, with one-way fares starting at £76 to Zurich and from £54 to Geneva, which includes all taxes, fees and surcharges, one piece of checked luggage weighing up to 23kg and one piece of hand luggage. EasyJet (EZJ.L) and Ryanair ( also offer cheap flights to various locations in Switzerland, although be wary of additional baggage and seating charges. While Switzerland has some of the world's luxury hotels, you don't need a budget of thousands of Swiss francs a night for a good night's sleep. The country has a good range of three-star hotels that offer affordable, clean and comfortable rooms for a reasonable price. The Hotel Kipling is a three-star superior hotel in Geneva and offers rooms from about CHF140 (£127) a night in a great location near the main station and a short walk away from the lake. Other accommodation options include youth hostels, bike hotels and country inns. A top tip is look for a deal that includes breakfast. Also check whether the hotel includes extras such as a travel or city card, or other services like bike rental. Swiss cuisine is best known for its cheese dishes so seeking out a fondue or raclette should be high on any food lover's list. But there are plenty of ways you can save on eating out during the day in order to feel free to indulge in the evening. Like elsewhere in Europe, Switzerland is embracing street food culture in old market halls and the like. Zurich's Markthalle Im Viadukt in the arches of a railway viaduct has various food stands and shops, while Basel's KLARA has nine kitchens and a bar if the food options at the market at Marktplatz don't take your fancy from Monday to Saturday. Meanwhile, Lausanne has various food trucks on Place de la Riponne on four days of the week all year round. Plenty of cities also host their own food festivals, such as the Fete de Fromage cheese festival in Gruyeres, the Risotto Festival in Locarno and the Day of Open Wine Cellars Valias in Sion. The Swiss love of the outdoors also extends to al fresco eating, with lakesides, parks and other open air spaces fast filling up when the sun comes out. Join the locals at the waterfront with some sandwiches or cold meat platters from local supermarkets such as Migros and Coop. Drinking water fountains are widely available across the country, so take a refillable bottle or thermos. It is also worth checking out the Too Good To Go app, the world's largest surplus food marketplace through which shops, restaurants and bakeries can sell off their food at the end of the day at a lower price, so long as you can collect at a set time. So what about the cheese? Fondue and raclette are fantastic sharing options and every town, city and region will have their top locations to try this indulgent dish. Auberge de Saviese offers excellent fondue and other Swiss classics in a chalet-like setting in the heart of Geneva, but also has a daily special throughout the week for CHF18.50. And then of course there's chocolate — something that Switzerland is also renowned for and it does feel like there are chocolate shops on every street corner. Geneva's Choco Pass costs CHF30 per adult and CHF6 for a child and enables the holder to get a tasting plate or small bag of chocolate from 10 stores across the city over a 24-hour period, alongside discounts for purchases – perfect for souvenirs (if they last that long). Even Switzerland's biggest cities have plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy — perhaps unsurprisingly given so many of their river, lake or mountainside locations. Switzerland's relatively compact size and excellent public transport network, particularly if you're armed with a Swiss Travel Pass, makes it pretty easy to get out into the countryside or mountains. The most determined rail travellers can navigate the impeccably-timed five trains from Zurich all the way up to the "top of Europe" at the Jungfraujoch using the pass. But there's usually lots to do in and around the city boundaries too. Zurich has its very own mountain, the Uetliberg, which is easily accessible by train to the summit where you can admire a panorama of the city and the lake (or an even higher one from the viewing tower for CHF2). You can then do a pretty easy two-hour hike to the cable car at the other end before descending into town. Meanwhile, visitors to Locarno can reach the dizzy heights of their local mountain the Cardada by a cable car for a return fare of about CHF32, a price which is halved with a Swiss Travel Pass. A hiking trail leads to Cimetta (1,671 m), which offers a view of both the lowest and highest points in Switzerland. And any visitor to Geneva literally cannot miss the delightful Bains des Paquis, the "city beach" and bathing area that juts out into the water just metres from the 140m-high Jet d'Eau. This is an ideal place to live like the locals and go for a swim in the lake, for a fee of CHF2, or enter the hammam and sauna area (starting at CHF10), depending on time of year and whether you have have towels. The pool bar offers daily dishes, fondue and drinks for very reasonable prices. Of course, most Swiss lakes are so vast that many have plenty of spots where you can jump in for free — but be wary of cold temperatures as alpine lakes can prove chilly. If you want to keep your feet on terra firma, enjoy being by the water at one of the many bars and cafes that tend to spring up alongside Swiss waterways, with one of the country's quirkiest being the Sandoase by Basel's Dreilaendereck ('Three Countries Corner') — the very point where Switzerland meets France and Germany. For a warmer alternative, visitors can take the waters at one of the country's many thermal baths — which often come with stunning views as an added bonus. Ticket prices can vary greatly throughout the day and according to services accessed and time spent there, so check the rates on the relevant website before you go to find the best deal for what you want to do. The Bains de Levey Thermal Baths has one of Switzerland's hottest thermal springs in an alpine setting that's cheaper in the evenings, while Zurich's Hurlimannbad and Spa is an urban spa and thermal bath in century-old vaults of an old brewery, with discounted price for access to the rooftop infinity pool only. Switzerland is also a very bike-safe country and what better way to enjoy a lakeside setting than taking to two wheels for a cycle. PubliBike is just one Switzerland-wide service that offers daily rentals at a decent price, but there are plenty of other rental options at major stations and hotels. You may want a mountain bike or e-Bike for more strenuous or uphill routes — it's worth shopping around. While the Land of Milk and Honey may not be the most budget-friendly location, there are plenty of ways to keep costs down while having the richest of travel more: How to use your Avios points for more than flight tickets Home renovation mistakes and how to avoid them How to make 'manifesting' work for your moneyError in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data

EXCLUSIVE: Mugler Teams Up With Sharon Stone for Archival Capsule
ROLLING STONE: Awaiting its first designs by a new creative director, Mugler has reinterpreted 24 looks from its archive for a capsule collection — and tapped Sharon Stone to front the project. The Re/Edit capsule touches on tailoring, lingerie-inspired designs and red carpet dresses inspired by ready-to-wear and couture collections between 1985 and 2000, tapping into fashion eras enjoying currency among young generations. More from WWD Miley Cyrus Gives the Little Black Dress a Dark Glamour Spin in Mugler for 'Jimmy Fallon' Appearance Elsa Hosk Revives Mugler's Mesh Knit Gown Worn by Claudia Schiffer in 1995 at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival Miley Cyrus Styles Looks by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, McQueen and More to Celebrate New Album With Spotify The capsule will be available from September on Mugler's online boutique and select specialty stores worldwide. Stone, the star of films including 'Basic Instinct' and 'Casino,' surely understood the brief for the campaign images, meant to suggest a voyeuristic eye and a study of quiet tension, according to the house. The actress is no stranger to power dressing and seductive body language. Indeed, Stone walked in Thierry Mugler in 1992 when the California Fashion Industry Friends of AIDS Project honored the French designer in Los Angeles, opening and closing a runway show in deliciously dominatrix style. 'Acting is from your soul,' Stone, having been a model, told WWD at the time. 'Modeling is from your ego.' The capsule collection arrives as the house gears up for its first collection under a new creative director. As reported, Miguel Castro Freitas started April 1 and is to make his debut during Paris Fashion Week for the spring 2026 season. The Portuguese designer is an alumnus of Sportmax, Dries Van Noten and Christian Dior Couture. Manfred Thierry Mugler, a fashion maverick known for sharp tailoring, hourglass silhouettes and a futuristic sheen, died in 2022 at age 73.

9 Times Justin Bieber Reminded Us That Being A Husband Isn't Exactly His Strong Suit
Let's just say… if marriage came with a Yelp review system, Justin might not be earning five stars. Now, before the Beliebers flood in with 'but he's grown so much!'—yes, people change. But sometimes, old habits (like forgetting to hold a car door, or uh, throwing casual shade at your wife) die hard. And when you're a celebrity, they also get caught in 4K. Here are a few moments where Justin Bieber gave 'married but meh' energy. On a day when the world was out here posting tributes to moms and wives, Justin hopped on Instagram and declared, 'Mother's Day sucks.' Not even a softening emoji. were confused. Some were mad. Others were just… tired. Was it a joke? Was it directed at someone? Was he okay? We still don't really know. But either way, it didn't scream 'I love and cherish the mother figure in my life'—especially considering Hailey is one. Instead of posting a sweet throwback to his own engagement or saying something mildly sentimental, Justin went the meme route. But not the aww kind. He shared a meme, essentially calling women cringeworthy for being excited about one of the biggest milestones in their life. Considering he's married to someone who was excited to get engaged, it came off less as a joke and more as yet another weird dig. When he nearly shut the car door right in Hailey's face. The clip says it he didn't see her. Maybe it was just a split-second misread. But caught on camera, it looked like one of those moments where your partner forgets they're not the only one in the scene. According to a now-viral post, Justin once told Hailey she'd never make the cover of Vogue. She later did. With and without him. You'd think a supportive partner would say something like, 'You're going to be on every cover one day.' Instead, she apparently got a fashion industry diss track. When he basically said her looks were the only thing keeping him around. In a resurfaced clip, Justin casually admits that if Hailey weren't as good-looking as she is, he 'would've ditched her a long time ago.' Yes, comment—meant as a joke, maybe?—didn't land well with fans, especially those who've already clocked his history of weirdly backhanded behavior. It felt less like a compliment and more like a confession. Hailey's fans were quick to call it out as yet another moment where the bare minimum felt out of reach. When he walked off like the red carpet was a solo gig. At the 2022 Grammys, Hailey and Justin hit the red carpet together—but barely looked like a team. Fans noticed an awkward moment when Hailey tried to get him to pose with her for the cameras. Instead of stepping in, Justin waved her off with a casual hand gesture and walked wasn't a dramatic scene, but it was telling. On a night where most couples bring the PDA, they brought… space. When he walked off through a crowd and didn't notice Hailey tripping behind him. Justin made his way through a packed crowd on a skateboard, slipping through some silver railings without so much as a glance back. Hailey trips. Strangers react. Justin doesn' was giving 'every man for himself,' not 'husband of the year.' When he posted a sweet photo… and captioned it with the middle finger emoji. Justin uploaded a photo of Hailey sitting at a piano with their newborn son in her lap—a moment that could've melted hearts. But instead of a soft caption or even a baby emoji, he threw in a random middle finger emoji. No context, no explanation. When walking beside his wife feels like too much to ask. One thing fans can't unsee? Justin's complete inability to match Hailey's pace—literally. Whether they're leaving an event, walking through a crowd, or just heading to the car, he's either ten steps ahead or trailing way behind. Never next to her. Never with might seem small, but over time, it's become one of those quiet details people can't stop pointing out. Because walking beside someone? That's like, day-one partner behavior. For months now, things between the couple have looked... shaky. Divorce rumours have been swirling, especially after Hailey quietly unfollowed Justin amid his cryptic Instagram posting spree. And just when fans thought it couldn't get more obvious, she was recently spotted in New York with no wedding ring in sight. Coincidence? Maybe. But at this point, even the ring seems to be taking space.
