Brooke Shields celebrates 60th birthday with bikini shoot
Brooke Shields celebrated her 60th birthday in paradise.
The Blue Lagoon actress took to Instagram Saturday to share photos of herself rocking a black bikini while lounging on a hammock on the beach.
'Woke up in Paradise … and in a new decade of life,' she captioned the post. 'This is 60! Thank you for all the birthday love.'
Shields styled her beach day look with a wide-brimmed hat and choker necklace.
The Hollywood star didn't disclose the tropical location where she was enjoying her milestone birthday.
In honour of the big day, her haircare brand, Commence, also shared 'a non-exhaustive list' of 'propaganda' she refuses to believe as she gets older.
'That 60 means slowing down,' read text on an Instagram Reel of Shields at a photo shoot.
'That change is only for your twenties. That it's too late to learn something new. That my best days are in the rearview.
'That women 'of a certain age' aren't a force to be reckoned with. That I don't deserve products made specifically for me. That not every day can be a good hair day.'
Shields got candid about ageing in a November 2023 interview with Glamour magazine, confessing she's afraid of certain cosmetic injectables.
'I'm scared of not looking like myself; the times that I've had Botox, I end up with this Spock eye and I'm like, 'I don't look like myself,'' she said at the time.
'But I'll get Fraxels, and peels, and whatever the newest thing is, and I'll try it. I just don't want to not look like myself.'
But Shields has maintained her youthful glow; she stunned as she hit the beach in another bikini in April.
At the time, the former model flaunted her figure while lying in the sand in the Bahamas wearing a black-and-white two-piece.
The Mother of the Bride star went makeup-free, accessorising with a gold necklace and statement bracelets.

Brooke Shields calls out ‘too precious' Meghan Markle after awkward SXSW panel gig
Brooke Shields didn't hold back when sharing comments about Meghan Markle's awkward appearance at a 2024 SXSW panel. The actress, along with the Duchess of Sussex, participated in an International Women's Day conversation called 'Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen' and moderated by journalist Katie Couric at the iconic film festival last March. 'Katie asks the first question to Meghan and she talks about how at a young age, she was already advocating for women,' Shields told India Hicks on the latest episode of her An Unexpected Journey podcast, via the Independent. 'She starts telling a story about how when she was 11 — and she keeps saying, 'Well, when I was 11, I saw this commercial and they were talking about how washing dishes was for women' And she said, 'I didn't think only women wash dishes. It wasn't fair, so I wrote to the company.'' 'She kept saying she was 11!' Shields exclaimed. 'She wrote to the company, they changed the text, they changed the commercial. It was just too precious, and I was like, 'They're not going to want to sit here for 45 minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.'' Shields, 60, recalled intervening at one point in an effort to switch up the mood. 'I go, 'Excuse me, I'm so sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute.' I was trying not to be rude, but I wanted to be funny because it was so serious,' Shields remembered. 'I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. When I was 11, I was playing a prostitute,' she joked, referencing her 1978 historical drama, 'Pretty Baby.' 'The place went insane,' Shields shared, claiming the crowd became 'more relaxed' after her comments. The story Markle shared during the panel was nothing new, as she has previously spoken about how she took matters into her own hands after seeing the controversial Ivory dishwashing soap campaign. During the 2019 International Women's Day panel at SXSW, Markle said the ad — which originally featured the slogan 'Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans' — had inspired a formative feminist experience for her. 'Truth be told, at 11 I don't think I even knew what sexism meant. I just knew that something struck me internally that was telling me it was wrong, and I knew that it was wrong,' she said at the time, per People. 'And using that as my moral compass and moving through from the age of 11, at that age I was able to change this commercial. It really set up the trajectory for me to say, 'If there was a wrong, if there is a lack of justice, and there is an inequality, then someone needs to do something. And why not me?'' Ultimately, Procter & Gamble (the company who owns Ivory) changed the slogan to 'People all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.'

North Entrance lifesaver Col Laing retires from active service after 67 years
When Col Laing became a surf lifesaver at age 16 in 1958, he did it because that was what all his mates did. "There weren't all the sports that are around now," he said. "[It was] lifesaving in the summer and rugby league in the winter." Mr Laing never anticipated he would still be on patrol in his 80s, nor did he expect to build a club from the ground up. But fast forward 67 years and that is the legacy he leaves, as he officially retires from active patrols at the age of 82. After spending almost 20 years at The Entrance Surf Life Saving Club, the champion surf lifesaver saw a need for patrols at nearby North Entrance Beach, where calls for help were becoming more regular by the mid-1970s. "Everyone was screaming out for a club to be formed over here, so we decided we'd form a club." Mr Laing said the improvement in surf lifesaving over the years had helped him and others save countless lives. "There was none of the equipment that we've got now … we only had the rescue boat and the reel and we used the surf boat," he said. "The old Holgier Nielsen method was about 5 per cent effective, I reckon." Named for the Danish sportsman who invented it, the Holgier Nielsen method is a historical technique used on drowning victims, in which the patient is laid on their front while the rescuer presses their back and lifts their elbows to assist breathing. "There's been a big improvement over those years, and it was needed too," Mr Laing said. "They've got helicopters out there, they've got drones flying around, defibs … you name it, they've got it." The summer of 2024–25 was officially Mr Laing's last on active patrol duty. With a smile on his face, he recalls the surprise from others on the beach as he entered the water to help a swimmer in distress that season, not realising at the time it would be his last rescue. "The younger members on patrol were looking to me, so I just got out there on the board," Mr Laing said. He believed his commitment to surf lifesaving could be the key to the fountain of youth. "I think any sport, but particularly with surf lifesaving, the swimming is good because all the body parts are worked … there's no pressure on it," Mr Laing said. "That, and the sense of community. Mr Laing taught North Entrance Surf Life Saving Club deputy president Kate Broadhurst as a nipper in the 1990s and now her children are learning from him. Ms Broadhurst found it hard to put into words just what he meant to the club. "Col was responsible not only for keeping the club going but [ensuring] we were a really prominent, competitive club," she said. Mr Laing has won hundreds of medals over almost seven decades on the beach, from branch to national championships and then masters titles in ski and board rescue events, and most of them have been donated to the club. "We've been giving out the 'Col Laing Nipper of the Week' [award] using his medals for three of four seasons now," Ms Broadhurst said. "Each week, one of the kids gets a medal … Col presents it." Mr Laing said he loved to see the look on the kids' faces as they were given a medal. "It's not the champions that get it, it's the ones that are putting the effort in to try to get better," he said. While no longer actively patrolling, Mr Laing will continue to support the club in other roles, focusing on junior development.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz reveal their 'favourite' wedding moments
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz found time to "disappear for a second" on their wedding day. The loved-up duo tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022, and they made sure to cherish the occasion by spending some time on their own. Nicola, 30, told Glamour: "Someone gave us this advice and I'm so glad we listened: Take a moment during [your wedding] day just for the two of you. Step away, breathe, be together. Those were my favourite moments. "Weddings can be intense, especially when you're busy making sure everyone else is having fun. That little break reminded us what it's really about: us." Brooklyn - who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham - continued: "I totally agree. "After the ceremony, find time to disappear for a second. We took a quick drive, just the two of us. It was perfect. Also: love each other, be honest, and always protect one another." Nicola recalled feeling nervous on her wedding day. However, she found Brooklyn, 26, to be a reassuring presence. The actress shared: "I was so nervous. Saying our vows in front of that many people? Terrifying. Someone told me, 'Just look at Brooklyn.' And as soon as I did, the nerves faded. "When my dad took my hand and said, 'Are you ready?' I just started crying. I couldn't even look at him. I was thinking, My make-up! And when I walked down the aisle, Sekou was singing 'Songbird' live. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it." Brooklyn also felt unusually anxious on his wedding day - but his anxiety "disappeared" when he saw Nicola walking down the aisle. He said: "I'm usually chill speaking in front of people, but that day I was a wreck. Nicola kept me waiting for ten minutes and it felt like forever. But when I saw her, everything else disappeared." Brooklyn subsequently got a tattoo as a way of marking his wedding day. He shared: "I had our vows tattooed on me. I've got well over a hundred tattoos now. I wasn't allowed to get any until I turned 18 - my parents were strict about that."
