90s icon Charisma Carpenter showed off her insane physique in a racy post on Instagram that proves she\u2019s barely aged a day. <\/p>\n

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 57, took to Instagram to show off her physique in a series of bikini snaps to celebrate the northern hemisphere summer. <\/p>\n

Carpenter, who lives in the US, shared a close-up photo of herself in a bright red two-piece that left little to the imagination as she soaked in the sun in her back garden. <\/p>\n

Another steamy image showed her in the same plunging bikini as she flashed a satisfied grin at the camera. <\/p>\n

We\u2019d be satisfied too if we looked that good at 57! <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a wonderful summer and it\u2019s still early!\u201d she wrote alongside the handful of personal pictures. <\/p>\n

Fans of the star raced to the comments to share their amazement at how good the actress is looking, with one said: \u201cYou are more lovely now, than you have ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second said: \u201cInsanely beautiful woman,\u201d while another added: \u201cStill as beautiful as when I first saw you on Buffy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase in the popular series, hit headlines back in 2021 when she accused the show\u2019s creator Joss Whedon of creating a \u201ctoxic\u201d work environment. <\/a><\/p>\n

Whedon refuted Carpenter\u2019s claims of bullying and misconduct, acknowledging that while he was \u201cnot mannerly\u201d with her on occasion, \u201cmost of my experiences with Charisma were delightful and charming,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe struggled sometimes with her lines, but nobody could hit a punch line harder than her.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"90s icon Charisma Carpenter showed off her insane physique in a racy post on Instagram that proves she\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":833957,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[405718,405717,256328,274331,405737,405716,405739,405740,405734,405745,405736,382793,376435,405712,405743,64,63,405735,57940,405730,405746,405741,121041,405732,405724,405719,134,1635,43,405742,405729,405711,378843,405733,405727,1202,405722,405731,405720,405738,56602,405744,376957,381215,405721,403337,405715,405714,405723,60939,34537,288,204813,405728,405726,405748,405725,124984,405747,405713],"class_list":["post-833956","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-s-claims","tag-s-creator-joss-whedon","tag-256328","tag-274331","tag-90s-icon-charisma-carpenter","tag-a-toxic-work-environment","tag-a-bright-red-two-piece","tag-a-close-up-photo","tag-a-punch-line","tag-a-racy-post","tag-a-satisfied-grin","tag-a-second","tag-a-series","tag-a-wonderful-summer","tag-another-steamy-image","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bikini-snaps","tag-buffy","tag-buffy-fansfans","tag-buffy-icon","tag-bullying-and-misconduct","tag-carpenter","tag-charisma","tag-charisma-carpenter","tag-cordelia-chase","tag-entertainment","tag-fans","tag-headlines","tag-her-age-defying-physique","tag-her-back-garden","tag-her-insane-physique","tag-her-lines","tag-her-physique","tag-insanely-beautiful-woman","tag-instagram","tag-my-experiences","tag-occasion","tag-personal-pictures","tag-skimpy-bikini","tag-the-actress","tag-the-buffy","tag-the-camera","tag-the-comments","tag-the-handful","tag-the-imagination","tag-the-northern-hemisphere-summer","tag-the-popular-series","tag-the-same-plunging-bikini","tag-the-show","tag-the-star","tag-the-sun","tag-the-us","tag-the-vampire-slayer-actress","tag-the-vampire-slayer-icon","tag-the-vampire-slayer-star","tag-their-amazement","tag-tragic-news","tag-whedon","tag-wows"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833956","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833956"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833956\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/833957"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833956"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833956"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833956"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
