Kate Beckinsale Pitied Over 'Desperate' Bikini Photo In High Heels

Kate Beckinsale failed to impress viewers on The Daily Mailas the media outlet covered her November 2019 Instagram share. Bringing some summery heat as the holiday season approached, the British actress wowed in a retro bikini and heels while flaunting her killer figure, but it looks like users only thought she was "desperate." While some eyed up Kate's jaw-dropping frame as she posed in a skimpy black bikini and wedge heels, many gained likes for basically saying she was thirsty for attention, with the majority of such remarks age-shaming her for stripping down at 46.

Scroll for the photo. Kate, now aged 51, turned heads with her indoor snap, posing with her legs square apart as she modeled a stylish, figure-hugging bathing suit. Rocking high-waisted briefs shouting out '50s swimwear trends, the Pearl Harbor star flaunted her long, lean legs while displaying her taut abs, and with two stomach bands crisscrossing across her torso, she was definitely accentuating the latter.

Flashing her cleavage as her itty-bitty, bandeau top afforded a push-up finish, Kate casually held a pair of shades while posing by a futon couch and windows with the blinds drawn.

Lifting one hand near her head, the mom of one sported tousled, beachy-waved hair worn down, keeping her makeup low-key as she showed off her age-defying features. Keeping glam with a red pedicure, Kate added height to her frame with cork wedges, matching her black strappy shoes to her swimsuit. "Out of office," an amusing caption read.

Over 1,000 fans have now upvoted the most popular comment, one reading: "She's beautiful but come on she's too desperate for attention." Gaining a similar number of likes was a fan appearing to wonder if Kate Beckinsale was having a mid-life crisis, something suggested by a separate fan.

"What in the world is going on with her lately?? I would think she possesses enough education, beauty and success to not degrade herself like this. Really, Kate, validation from strangers?" the user asked. "So desperate" was another reply, with a further user saying: "She's getting older and people will have less and less interest in her. This is the desperate phase."

The above photo turned heads this summer as Kate Beckinsale wore a frilly two-piece, but fans warmed to the photo on account of the actress being with mom Judy Loe. Judy is battling Stage 4 cancer and joined her daughter for a luxury wellness retreat in Mexico as the twosome spent quality time together in late July and early August.

"Very happy you had such a wonderful time with your mom," one fan replied.
