Diane Von Furstenberg proves you can own it in swimwear at any age

Diane Von Furstenberg, Belgian fashion designer known for her signature wrap dresses, posted a swimsuit selfie on Instagram last week with a caption that will have you rocking your swimwear look no matter how old you are.

In the photo, Von Furstenberg wears a striking crimson one-piece swimsuit accessorized with some jewelry as he poses for a mirror image. "Selfie at 75? Trying to own it," she writes in the caption, showing that there's no age limit when it comes to rocking a swimsuit with confidence. "I know I should smile but I feel stupid smiling at myself! Gratitude 🙏," she adds.

Followers and other celebrities were quick to show their support for the fashion designer in the comments section of her post. “Fearless & Beautiful ❤️,” writes supermodel Iman, while actress Andie Macdowell calls the photo “Fabulous🔥.” Filmmaker Ava Duvernay also weighed in on virtual love, commenting: "Stunning and sensational."

In addition to showing off her stylish swimsuit and confidence, Von Furstenberg also used the photo to share that she swims for two hours a day, suggesting the activity helps her feel good. This is not surprising considering that swimming for two hours a day is a major physical feat at any age, as it is one of the best total body exercises. It is a low-impact activity that is both cardio and strength training. Additionally, swimming can improve lung function, target underused muscles, and reduce stress, Shape previously reported.

In addition to her swimming hobby, Von Furstenberg is also no stranger to selfies. In fact, she has posted many selfies, shared pictures of herself staying active, and spread messages of self-love on Instagram. For example, earlier this summer she shared a photo of herself wearing sunglasses and a visor on a hike. And on her 75th birthday, she celebrated with a mirror selfie and wrote: "So that's 75... Lots of memories, adventures, landscapes... grateful and humble... ❤️🙏."

The style icon isn't the first to remind people to wear what they feel comfortable in and share pictures of it. Remember when Hoda Kotb said she'll always wear bikinis thanks to her grandmother's wise words, or when Demi Moore modeled vintage-inspired swimsuits (including a string bikini) from her collaboration with Andie? And who could forget Baywatch alum Donna D'Errico clapping back at trolls after posting a video of herself dancing in a bikini on July 4th.

Even as summer draws to a close, these stars' messages are timeless: If you want to wear a swimsuit, own it—no matter how old you are.
