Sharon Stone is looking good

The actress bid farewell to summer with a sexy bikini photo.

The Casino star, 64, shared a mirror selfie that showed her rocking a patterned swimsuit. The racy two-piece featured a vibrant colorway and purple string straps. “Why do I always get in shape when summer's over?” Stone joked in the caption.

Through the years, Stone has been hailed as a fashion inspiration due to her dramatic red-carpet looks and outstanding on-camera wardrobe. Her most memorable fashion moments are perhaps the eye-catching ensembles she wore in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct.

Sharon Stone opened up about the clothes from the film in an essay, revealing she kept every outfit after production wrapped.

“People thought I was crazy, but the truth is I wasn’t getting paid much compared to my male costar,” the actress, who starred alongside Michael Douglas in the Oscar-nominated movie, explained. “I made $500,000. Michael made $14 million. So, keeping my costumes was a really smart thing to do.”

The Beauty of Living Twice author shared that a handful of the items came from fashion houses like Hermes, while other looks were custom-made. However, the standout look — the timeless white dress from the interrogation room scene — was a piece Stone designed herself.

“I remember asking the director, Paul Verhoeven, what he wanted me to wear for it. He jokingly said, ‘I don’t care if you wear a turtleneck and your hair in a bun.’ So, I said, ‘Good, because that’s what I was thinking,’” she recalled. “We decided to go for all white because my character had a very Hitchcockian vibe.”

Stone worked with costume designer Ellen Mirojnick to execute the now-famous ensemble. “Ellen designed the dress so that I could sit like a man if he was being interrogated. It gave me the ability to move my arms and legs, take up space, and exercise control over a room full of men,” Stone added.
