Heather Graham flaunts ageless figure in stunning bikini collection during Italian vacation

There is no one else who is soaking up the sun more these days than Heather Graham.
The actress, who is on vacation in Sardinia, has delighted her 571K followers on Instagram by proudly displaying her collection of bikinis while beating the heat with pals.
"Got to explore beautiful Sardinia with my friend @debrajfisher," the 55-year-old captioned the series of photos. "@janeseymour came along for part of our adventure. I admire her long career and her #joiedevivre. How the hell does she look so good? I'm asking for her secrets."
"The sea is so beautiful and the food is so good," she shared. "I discovered #culurgiones…"
The "Austin Powers" star modeled six different swimsuits during her beachy getaway. While she primarily opted for string bikinis in vibrant hues, Graham also sported curve-hugging one-pieces.
In sizzling snapshots, Graham is seen enjoying the crystal blue waters of the Mediterranean. She also spent time with friends and explored luxurious yachts. At one point, she was accompanied by Jane Seymour, who, like Graham, proudly flaunted her youthful figure in a baby blue and coral one-piece.
In June, Graham and Seymour, 74, attended the Filming Italy 2025 red carpet at Forte Village Resort.
Most recently, Graham spoke to Retreat Magazine about her approach to aging.
"I think what matters most is how you feel inside," she told the outlet. "Decide that you're hot and enjoy your life. What other people think of you is none of your business. If you feel good about yourself, no one can take that away from you. Pursue the things that fill you with joy, and surround yourself with loving people."
"I don't drink or do drugs, and I get a lot of sleep," Graham continued. "Eating healthy makes me feel good. I like cooking for myself and other people. And I love it when people cook for me. Basically, I like eating! Also, I do affirmations. I think they are very powerful. I work on strengthening my inner loving parent muscle, so I can be supportive and loving to myself. One of my affirmations is: 'This is the best time of my life.'"
During an interview with People magazine in April, Graham admitted to being a happier person after she turned 55 in January.
"I feel like as I get older, I just care less about things that don't matter," she told the outlet. "Everyone gets upset sometimes, but I think that I'm happier. I've done enough hard work on myself that I feel like I'm a happier person now."
The "Boogie Nights" actress has been focused on wellness since she was 21. Graham works out, eats healthily, does yoga and meditates.
Graham got her start in the entertainment industry when she left her parents' home at 18 and moved to West Hollywood, California, with a roommate.
Graham graduated from high school with a 5.0 GPA and went on to study English at UCLA. After her junior year at the university, she decided to drop out to focus on her acting career.
The actress is proud of the life she has created for herself.
"I live in Los Angeles in a house I bought last year. I also have a loft in New York," she told The Wall Street Journal in 2024, noting that her West Coast home "has views of the Pacific."
Most recently, Seymour spoke to Fox News Digital about how she's stayed in shape for decades without fad diets or marathon workout routines.
"I almost always never have breakfast," the "Dr. Quinn" alum explained about her diet. "I will have liquids and my vitamins. I've got this vitamin combination that has collagen. I'll have that in the morning and either black tea, coffee, or water. And then at lunchtime, I'll have a fabulous meal, whatever I want pretty much. I tend to like salmon, shrimp and grilled vegetables. And I love Italian food. I might have a little eggplant Parmesan; it's a favorite of mine. Maybe some lean chicken."
The star said that the one thing she "almost never" eats is steak, but she does make exceptions.
"Once in a while, I'll have a little bit of filet steak, maybe a couple of slices. I'm not against it. But I feel better usually when eating fish and lots of vegetables. I grow a lot of my food in my garden, a lot of it in pots actually … it keeps the bugs out. I have lettuce, arugula, artichokes, avocados, blueberries and strawberries. Also, lots of different types of kale. I love eating fresh vegetables. When I grill my vegetables, I add a little bit of olive oil and sometimes a sprinkle of salt."
The former Bond girl also noted that it's important for her to stay active daily. However, she listens to her body about what it needs each day.
"I work with a lady … it's almost like physiotherapy, but it's a workout. I do Gyrotonics and some Pilates – a lot of floor work, believe it or not, even though I'm on a bench. But everything I do, anyone else can do at home, in a hotel room, their living room, their garden – anywhere where you can put a yoga mat down. I do Pilates legwork, which is like doing some of my ballet. I can use my own weight or a ballet bar."

"… I'm very careful about doing the right technique," she said. "If I can't do too much, if I can't stretch too much that day, that's fine. I just do as much as my body is comfortable doing because I don't want to injure myself. I had back surgery a long time ago. That's a nemesis for me. So, I listen to my body."

Casino Royale star Caterina Murino pregnant at 47

Former Bond girl Caterina Murino has revealed she is expecting her first child at 47. She has confirmed she is pregnant with a baby boy, due in September, the same month she will turn 48. The Italian actor also revealed she has suffered two heartbreaking miscarriages and a gruelling IVF journey in a bid to become a mum. Murino, who has been in a relationship with French lawyer Edouard Rigaud for eight years, admitted the road to motherhood hasn't been easy. "At my age, I had to ask medicine to help nature," she said, referring to the IVF treatment she underwent. She added: "You don't always decide when the right time to become a mother comes." The star bravely spoke about her previous miscarriages and described her fertility journey as "trying", but said she is now looking forward to the new chapter with joy and gratitude. Murino shot to global fame in 2006 when she starred as a Bond girl alongside Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. She played Solange, one of three women whom Bond seduces, before she is tortured to death later in the film. Murino most recently starred as Olga Sakiris in Amazon Prime's Escort Boys.

Dress codes: Why do brides wear veils?

Editor's Note: Examining clothes through the ages, Dress Codes is a new series investigating how the rules of fashion have influenced different cultural arenas — and your closet. One of the oldest elements of a bridal ensemble, dating at least as far back as Ancient Greece, veils have largely remained a staple accessory for even the most modern, subversive brides. When singer Lily Allen married actor David Harbour at an Elvis-inspired Las Vegas chapel in 2020, she eschewed an ornate gown in favor of a '60s-style Dior double-breasted mini-dress — but still wore a conventional tiered veil in her up-do. And when singer Gwen Stefani decided on a boundary-pushing wedding frock (also Dior, designed by John Galliano for her 2002 wedding) that was dip-dyed in a shock of pink; so too was her trailing veil. Over the weekend, Lauren Bezos Sanchez became the latest high-profile bride complete her look with tulle on top during her lavish, eyebrow-raising wedding in Venice. After slipping on her custom Dolce & Gabbana mermaid-line gown at her final fitting, seamstresses applied the cascading lace-finished veil to Bezos Sanchez's head 'like a crown,' according to Vogue. At her wedding in 1840, Queen Victoria swapped her velvet robe of state in favor of a white silk gown — its wide, almost off-the-shoulder neckline trimmed with a curtain of lace. On the day she married Prince Albert, she was not the British monarch, but an adoring bride dressed in the purest ivory to signify her virtue. (The archbishop asked if Her Majesty would like the word 'obey' removed from the vows. She insisted it remained.) If only for just a few hours, she was playing a different role and wearing a different costume: Both would endure for well over a century. Only recently have some of the traditional aspects of bridal wear first popularized by Victoria been updated for modern times. Hemlines are growing ever higher as the mini wedding dress reigns supreme in the age of the pared-down ceremony; while some brides have opted out of a dress altogether — gliding down the aisle in a tailored suits instead. An increasing number of brides, such as singer and actress Mandy Moore at her wedding in 2018, opt out of wearing white altogether (she chose a dusty-rose gown from Rodarte) . Yet despite these contemporary reforms, one long-established accessory has displayed more staying power than the rest: The veil. If anything, veils appear to have gotten bigger in recent years — sometimes demanding more attention than the dress itself. In 2018, actress Priyanka Chopra made headlines with her Ralph Lauren wedding gown, topped off with 75-feet of tulle (and five people to help carry it). The following year, Hailey Baldwin (now Hailey Bieber) married Justin Bieber in a giant Off-White wedding veil with the words ''Till Death do us Part' embroidered at the hem of the pooling fabric. Since then, grandiose rivers of tulle have streamed through celebrity ceremonies like fast-rushing water: from Sophia Richie to Paris Hilton, Naomi Biden, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Millie Bobby Brown. 'The veil has become a canvas that really provides the drama you might not get from a more minimalist dress,' said Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, author of 'The Way We Wed: A Global History of Wedding Fashion,' in a phone call with CNN. Previously, veils of grandeur — or length — were reserved for royal nuptials. In 1981, Princess Diana wore the largest veil in the monarch's history, clocking in at a whopping 25-foot. It was hand-embellished with 10,000 micro pearls by London-based seamstress Peggy Umpleby, who took the veil home on public transport each day to continue working on it well into the night. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, followed suit in 2018 with a 16-foot long veil made of silk tulle, hand-embroidered with the flowers of the Commonwealth countries. The veil's appeal has even trickled off the aisle and onto the runway. This season at Paris Fashion Week, Andreas Kronthaler, creative director at Vivienne Westwood, sent both a black and white tulle veil down the catwalk, off-setting a polka dot and navy dress respectively. At the London shows, Turkish designer Bora Aksu went one step further, offering netted veils in red and blush pink. Even at this year's Grammys, musician Gracie Abrams donned a chiffon Chanel veil for the ceremony's red carpet. But according to Chrisman-Campbell, veils are simply returning to fashion — not being adopted by it. Historically, veils in western culture began as 'a fashion for the wealthy,' she said. The upper echelons wore hand-made lace, which during the late 18th century was worth more than its weight in gold. (According to the Smithsonian American Women's History Museum, one meter of lace would take a skilled worker in the 1700s a year to produce.) 'Wearing lace, whether a ruffle or a veil or a cap was a status symbol,' Chrisman-Campbell said. By the early 1800s, industrialization introduced machine-made lace, making the fabric more affordable to the masses. 'Suddenly, more people could afford to have a very beautiful piece of diaphanous, beautifully embellished textile,' she said. 'That's why veils became fashionable.' In Ancient Greece, the bridal veil, also known as a 'flammeum,' was seen as a form of protection for women, shielding them from evil spirits, wedding jitters and other potential bad omens. Other cultures have used the garment as a means of obscuring the bride's face during the final moments before an arranged marriage. Since veils have existed throughout history in a variety of cultures, they are a shifting emblem — representing mystical boundaries, or potentially misogynistic attitudes. One urban myth argues veils were intended to hinder women from potentially running away, while others speculate they symbolize a bride being untouched and brand new — a prize to be unwrapped. While Chrisman-Campbell isn't convinced by every interpretation of the veil, she has observed its association with purity and chastity — which, for at least a century, meant divorcees and widows wearing veils during their second wedding was widely considered a social faux pas. 'There was a big taboo against wearing a veil if you had been married once before,' she said. Second brides were also excluded from wearing white, carrying a bouquet or wearing a floor-length gown. 'But women came up with some really ingenious alternatives,' said Chrisman-Campbell. 'They might wear a hat, they might wear a floral arrangement in their hair, anything but a veil.' For her second wedding in 1964, Elizabeth Taylor wore a marigold yellow chiffon baby doll dress — her hair braided down her back and strewn with flowers. Meanwhile, in 1962, Audrey Hepburn dutifully toed the line with the sartorial rules of second marriages, saying 'I do' to Italian psychiatrist Andrea Dotti in a short baby-pink Givenchy mini dress and a silk headscarf. 'If you didn't pretend it was your first marriage, it made it more acceptable,' Chrisman-Campbell added. The expectation that second-time brides should pare down their look finally waned in the 1980s, and these stringent sartorial rules became redundant. One of the most joyful examples of a third-time bride embracing the pomp and pageantry of a big white wedding was Angelina Jolie. During her 2014 nuptials to Brad Pitt, Jolie wore a classic ivory satin Versace gown. The main event, however, was her veil, which was embroidered with colourful drawings from her children. 'She really upended the whole idea of the veil as suggesting modesty or virginity, or any sort of bashfulness,' said Chrisman-Campbell, who felt this level of personalization spoke to a new era of progressive matrimony. '(Today) there are often blended families involved, so the children are involved, and the wedding becomes an even bigger deal because it represents not just two people joining, but two families joining.'
