Sarah Michelle Gellar is embracing the "Euro summer" trend, recently sharing a series of photos from her vacation in the South of France.
Gellar, 49, documented her trip on Instagram, featuring picturesque scenes from the Calanques near Cassis and a visit to the Circuit Paul Ricard, a motorsports venue in Le Castellet. She captioned the post with "Calanques, Cassis and @circuitpaulricard."
The actress began her vacation with scenic views on the Mediterranean Sea. In one photo, Gellar is seen on a boat wearing a black bikini with white floral accents and a coordinating swim skirt, complemented by black cat-eye sunglasses, layered necklaces, and bracelets. The background revealed a rocky, tree-lined coastline.
She later shared a selfie from the boat, displaying a deep brown halter bikini top with gathered fabric and bow details. With her blonde hair pulled back and minimal makeup, Gellar smiled towards the camera against the backdrop of turquoise waters.
Later in her trip, Gellar opted for a change of attire, covering up in an all-white eyelet ensemble consisting of a short-sleeved blouse with scalloped edges and matching shorts. She paired this outfit with dark sunglasses and a woven tote bag, posing on the boat's deck with sailboats visible in the distance.
Gellar also took the opportunity to swim in the Mediterranean. Another image captured her climbing a ladder back onto the boat after her dip, accessorized with a delicate necklace and stacked bracelets.
The photos garnered positive reactions from fans and celebrity friends, including Candace Cameron Bure. This vacation comes after Gellar's January appearance on the "Gloss Angeles" podcast, where she discussed aging, beauty standards, and the pressure of being compared to her younger self. She reflected on her journey, stating, "I like who I am now. And that’s okay."
Gellar also touched upon the challenges of aging in the public eye, especially with the prevalence of cosmetic procedures and filtered images. She acknowledged considering cosmetic work but ultimately decided against it to remain authentic to herself. The actress emphasized the confidence that comes with age, describing it as something that can only be gained through life experience.
