Age is just a number when it comes to going au naturel!

While the media frequently presents images of younger, unclothed celebs, there's a league of older stars challenging outdated societal norms by flaunting their bodies in the buff.

In a revealing Instagram post in 2022, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova discussed society's objectification of women while reclaiming her sexuality at an older age.

"In a patriarchal society, women have always been seen as objects of desire or nurture... This is why youth and beauty are such a strong currency," she captioned. "I've come to wonder if objectification falls mainly into the realm of youth. When I was a young model exposing my body, it was because someone else approved of it."

She continued, "Now when I expose my body, it [is] with my full knowledge and consent. Hence, celebration."

From Porizkova's cheeky mirror selfie to Naomi Campbell's topless i-D magazine cover, here are some celebs over 50 who've struck a pose naked.

Porizkova has an archive of Instagram photos that prove angles are everything. Exhibit A: this bathroom butt selfie (a.k.a. a "belfie") she snapped during a trip to Rome in 2021.

"My hotel Eden in Rome, has, besides a beautiful room I'm staying in, this pretty happening bathroom," the model captioned the risqué photo. "After work and a leisurely bath, I was bored, which led to this celebration of narcissism, the naked selfie."

In 2019, the late Suzanne Somers famously posed topless in a sultry Instagram photo shot by her husband, Alan Hamel.

"We were walking on the hillside road [on her property], and I think it was like June. It was hot and dry," she explained in 2020. "I said, 'Oh my god, the foliage here is the same color as my hair.' Because, by that time, all the weeds and bushes had turned yellow."

"So I got down and said, 'Take a picture of me. The weeds will look like my hair,' " Somers said. "I took my top down because I was with my husband, and he took that great picture."

Campbell posed topless on the cover of i-D magazine's Spring 2021 issue. She also risked it all in the name of fashion when she went nude in the notoriously dirty New York City Subway for Valentino's Pre-Fall 2019 accessories campaign in July 2020.

The supermodel sat on the train — sans clothing — with just a black studded handbag draped on her shoulder for the spot. She was also photographed waiting on the platform using only a bag to cover herself.

Hurley often flaunts her impressive figure on Instagram in tiny bikinis, figure-hugging silhouettes and dresses with plunging necklines.

In March 2021, the bombshell actress shared a photo of herself sitting on a bed of hay totally nude ... beauty is pain, right? Two months prior, she posted this topless snap with the caption, "How could I resist?" Touché, Liz. Touché.

Helena Christensen stripped down for her Harper's Bazaar España (Spain) cover shoot. Inside the August 2020 issue, the supermodel was photographed swimming completely nude, wearing a striking red lipstick and shimmery eyeshadow.

Shortly after her 60th birthday in July 2023, Lisa Rinna marked the occasion with a full-frontal mirror selfie, with brown emojis covering her nipples and vagina.

"Moira Rose says you should take as many naked pics of yourself while you still can and celebrate it," the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum wrote on her Instagram Stories, nodding to the Schitt's Creek character played by Catherine O'Hara. "OK, Moira."

Rinna was alluding to a scene from the Schitt's Creek season 2 episode, "Moira's Nudes," when Moira tells Stevie Budd (Emily Hampshire): "Take a thousand naked pictures of yourself now. You may currently think, 'Oh, I'm too spooky.' Or, 'Nobody wants to see these tiny boobies.' But, believe me, one day you will look at those photos with much kinder eyes and say, 'Dear God, I was a beautiful thing!' "
