Demi Moore challenges the idea that women become less desirable as they age

Demi Moore thinks she has a lot to look forward to as she approaches 60. The actress shared her positive outlook on aging and women defying expectations as they grow older in a new interview with People.

"It changes this idea that women become less desirable as they age," she said of a new line she's worked on with swimwear brand Andie, which includes bikinis, deep V-neck one-pieces and high-waisted two-pieces. Pieces inspired by vintage designs. “We don’t want to look matronly or feel sexy.”

If you take a look at Moore's Instagram, where she has posted several photos of herself in pieces from the collaborative collection, you might assume that she has always felt comfortable modeling different types of swimsuits. However, she hasn't always felt as confident as she may seem. "I probably fit into the category of not being the most confident about my body. And I think that part of even doing a [swimwear] shoot, no matter what, it's extremely vulnerable," she told People in a previous interview about creating campaign images for the new swimwear line.

“I felt so supported and encouraged — even while struggling with my own body dysmorphia,” she said of the European swimwear shoot. “I really hope it gives women confidence,” Moore added.

As her 60th birthday approaches, Moore isn't interested in "being defined by a number," she said in a recent People interview. Instead, she wants to be defined by her experience. “You hit 59 and you’re already thinking, ‘Well, I’m going to be 60.’ It feels very liberating,” she added.

Moore also pointed out how different she feels as she gets older, compared to how her grandmother seemed to feel at her age. “When I think of my grandmother at 60, in some ways she seemed to have already come to terms with being old,” Moore explained. “But in many ways I feel more alive and present than ever.”

The actress certainly seems to have no plans to slow down any time soon. Cheers to feeling “alive and present” in every phase of life.
