‘Forever Fine as Hell’: Vanessa Williams, 58, Brings Fans to Their Knees with Toned Bikini Body

Vanessa Williams appeared to take notes from her fellow beauty pageant alum Sheryl Lee Ralph on July 27 after the 58-year-old displayed her toned physique in a white bikini. 

Ralph,64, initially gave fans a run for their money back in May when she strutted around a pool coping border in an orange bikini as she welcomed the “summertime.”

Williams, who is seen striking a pose in the sand while gazing away from the camera, posed a single question to her legions of followers as she shared the initial photo; “Are we doing bikini shots in our early 50s? Ok 🌊.”

Following the photo’s release, many fans bombarded the actress’s comment section with compliments. Several people pointed out Williams “still got it” despite being in her 50s. 

“Yes Ma’am bring all the 💨.”

“Let ‘em know woman!”

“Wow.. forever fine as hell… Jesus.”

“The Baddest Bishhhhh Around……OKAAAAY!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

“You still got it 🔥🔥.”

Back in 2014, during an interview with ABC News, Williams revealed how she kept her body in shape.

The mother of four told the network that “eating clean” was one of the many factors that assisted in her keeping a slim physique. “Just eating as clean as you possibly can when you have a goal to attain. If I wanted to drop a few pounds for any kind of event or red carpet, you cut out alcohol, you cut out sugar, you cut out carbs.”

Williams continued by listing other tricks that helped maintain her healthy lifestyle, like “juicing, hot water and lemon — those are all great cleansers to keep you hydrated … nowadays it’s so easy to get organic products. Whether they are seaweed snacks or anything.”

She wrapped up the conversation by disclosing that she tries to remain active despite her busy schedule. “I try to do something every day, whether it’s taking a class or jumping on the treadmill. Also, yoga, just trying to keep moving, for sure.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
