Jane Seymour just keeps getting better with age and you can't convince us otherwise.
The 74-year-old actress was seen enjoying the sunshine in Sardinia, Italy, looking effortlessly elegant and eternally youthful in a red one-piece swimsuit on Sunday.
The former Bond girl looked stunning on the romantic getaway with her long-term partner John Zambetti, who was seen proudly taking photos of her as she dipped her toes into the Mediterranean. She's the latest of a slew of celebrities who've been spotted enjoying the sea, sand and sun of the European summer in recent weeks.

'Soaking up the sunshine and the solstice magic,' she gushed on Instagram over the weekend, while sharing a photo of herself in another red swimsuit.
'The longest day of the year calls for a little extra sparkle, a splash of sea, and a heart wide open to summer's beauty.'
The Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman star is also in town for the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival. where she was honoured with a career achievement award last week.
'I just realised I've been doing this for 61 years,' she said onstage during her acceptance speech at the ceremony attended by the likes of Fran Drescher, Alec Baldwin, Heather Graham, Cuba Gooding Jr and Ashley Greene.
'I grew up with flat feet and a speech impediment, with my parents being told I had to have remedial classes for both,' Seymour added. 'Don't let anyone tell you you can't do it.'
Seymour shared a photo of herself rocking another red swimsuit.
Also spotted at the festival: Scandal-plagued actor Ezra Miller, making a red carpet return after several years spent out of the spotlight, and looking very different to how fans would remember them.
Elsewhere at the festival, during masterclasses organised for the event, Seymour described the course of her career and how proud she is to have 'always broken the glass ceiling'.
'I started out, of course, playing ingenues and romantic heroines,' she said. 'Then when they realised I could cry, I played victims. And then, when they realised I could be evil, I got to play the killers. That was fun.'
'And then, you know, mamas, grandmothers. Then comedy, which is pretty much where I am now.'

Now, Seymour is enjoying the success on the Irish mystery series Harry Wild, which was recently renewed for a fifth season on British streaming service Acorn TV.
The actress is incredibly proud to be one of very few actresses her age to head a series. In Harry Wild, she plays the lead role as a retired English literature professor who becomes a super-sleuth.
Seymour, seen here in 2005, has appeared in series such as The Kominsky Method and The Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as the hit comedy Wedding Crashers. Picture:'Nobody gets a series of their own at 70. Nobody,' she pointed out at one masterclass. '[Harry Wild is] very comedic, it's very intelligent – and I'm also a producer.'
In a past interview with Hello!, Seymour also said there's no reason to stop living when you reach your seventies.
'The world is against ageing. We hate ageing. We look at ageing and we go, 'Oh, no, there's a wrinkle, oh my God. Get rid of it. Grey hair. No. Terrifying!'' she told the magazine.
'Whereas you can look at it the other way and you can say actually, I now have time in my life to do things I really want to do. Maybe I can now become the person I want to be.'

Norwegian princess Ingrid Alexandra arrives at Sydney University to begin studies

Royalty has arrived in Australia as the future Queen of Norway prepares to begin her studies at the University of Sydney. The arrival of Princess Ingrid Alexandra in Sydney was announced on the official Norwegian royal family's Instagram account, accompanied by photos of the 21-year-old on the university's famous sandstone campus. 'I'm looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney,' the young princess said. 'It will be exciting to become a student, and I'm looking forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international politics. 'I'm sure that I will learn a lot.' The royal will be studying a Bachelor of Arts degree, starting in August. The down-to-earth princess will live at the university's campus in Camperdown, not far from the Harbour City's CBD. In an earlier announcement from the royal house, it was revealed she had chosen a three-year degree with a focus on international relations and political economy. 'Her Royal Highness looks forward to dedicating herself to her studies in the years to come,' they said at the time. Born in 2004, Princess Ingrid has largely grown up out of the spotlight, attending local schools in Oslo and completing her upper secondary education in 2023. She is the granddaughter of Norway's current monarch, 88-year-old King Harald V. She is currently second in line to the throne after her father, Crown Prince Haakon, 51 and made history as the first female heir to the Norwegian throne. The Princess is set to take a step back from official appearances while she studies. She had gradually stepped into public life in recent years, taking on more royal duties and representing Norway at official events. The royal certainly isn't the first to study in Australia. Recently, Danish Count Nikolai of Monpezat studied at the University of Technology, Sydney. King Charles also famously spent time two terms at Geelong Grammar in Victoria at the age of 17. Stepbrother facing charges Princess Ingrid's older half-brother Marius Borg Høiby is currently facing multiple charges including rape, sexual assault and bodily harm after a months-long investigation of a case that involved a 'double-digit' number of alleged victims. The charges included one case of rape involving intercourse and two cases of rape without intercourse, four cases of sexual assault and two cases of bodily harm. 'I cannot go into further detail about the number of victims in the case beyond confirming that it is a double-digit number,' Oslo Police Attorney Andreas Kruszewski said. Defence attorney Petar Sekulic said Høiby was 'absolutely taking the accusations very seriously, but doesn't acknowledge any wrongdoing in most of the cases — especially the cases regarding sexual abuse and violence'. Høiby is the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit and stepson to Crown Prince Haakon. He has been under scrutiny since he was repeatedly arrested in 2024 amid allegations of rape, and on preliminary charges of bodily harm and criminal damage. Høiby remains free pending a possible trial and is entitled to a presumption of innocence until a court rules otherwise. Norway's future queen made headlines in 2001 when she married Haakon because she was a single mother who had lived a freewheeling life with a companion who had been convicted on drug charges.

‘I am looking forward to starting my studies: Norway's Princess Ingrid-Alexandra arrives in Sydney to begin university degree

Norway's Princess Ingrid Alexandra has arrived in Australia as she prepares to begin a three-year undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney. Ingrid, 21, is the daughter of Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette Marit and is second in line to the Norwegian throne behind her father. Princess Ingrid Alexandra will formally begin her Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Sydney next month, and The Princess has already settled in on campus. "I am looking forward to starting my studies at the University of Sydney,' the Princess said in a statement on Friday. 'Being a student will be exciting, and I look forward to gaining new perspectives on both European and international affairs. 'I am confident that I will learn a great deal.' To mark the beginning of her studies, photographs of Princess Ingrid Alexandra have been taken on the university campus and outside the iconic Sydney Opera House. In the new snaps, Ingrid swapped a tiara and ballgown for a navy sweater, sneakers and a pair of trendy blue jeans. The Norwegian Princess is only the latest in a long line of international royals who have completed part or all of their education in Australia. Thailand's reigning King Vajiralongkorn spent several years studying in Australia in the 1970s, while King Charles spent two terms at Geelong Grammar School in 1966. The new photos come weeks after Ingrid's grandfather King Harald welcomed his granddaughter's decision to study in Sydney. Harald was asked about Ingrid's decision to effectively leave her homeland for years and live on the opposite side of the globe. "You get this back with compound interest when she gets home, so I think that's just an advantage,' the monarch reportedly told Norwegian outlet VG. '(Ingrid) must be allowed to study and get an education before she starts representing."
