Now that summer is sadly coming to a close, we know that our days in the sun are numbered. But when it comes to our favorite stars, we know we can always live vicariously through their celebrity vacations they share on Instagram -- no matter how old they are. Finding the right swimsuit can be quite a task, but we're getting a lot of inspiration from these celebrities over 40 who are rocking their bikini bodies at the beach and by the pool. And of course, they all look amazing ... and we're having major FOMO over their fun days enjoying the warm weather.

It's important to keep in mind that anyΒ body (literally) can be a bikini body, and as these women are proving anyone (of any age) can wear a two piece swimsuit as andΒ be proud of it. Granted, it's a little easier to do this as Jennifer Lopez or Gwyneth Paltrow, but ... our point still stands.

And while we may not be able to leave work to hit the beachΒ rightΒ this second, we are getting some major inspiration from these women. Some of them are even sporting bikinis that they designed themselves for their own swimwear lines, which is seriously impressive.

How are these ladies so talented!?

Here are some celebs over 40 in their bikini best. We're obsessed with these confident ladies showing off what their mama -- or in some cases, their trainer -- gave them. Read on to see all kinds of photos that will make anyone wish they could make itΒ to a beach in Italy ASAP.

1/20

Naomi Campbell

This photo just about leaves us speechless. Red is definitely Naomi's color. She truly looks flawless at 49. If there was ever a way to celebrate National Bikini Day, this would be it. Can she teach us how she stares into our soul with one look?!

2/20

Kate Walsh

This former Grey's AnatomyΒ star looks good! Kate, 51, shared this photo in 2017, and she's been looking good ever since. Can we join her on her next trip to Ibiza? That beach looks beautiful -- and so does the jacket she's wearing with her bikini!

3/20

Tracee Ellis Ross

Whoa -- Tracee is notΒ messing around here. This 46-year-old is one hot mama in this bikini, and the black and white filter (and the fact that she's caught just coming out of the water) adds soΒ much to the photo.

Such a classic beauty!

4/20

Shakira

If we didn't know better, we'd have no idea that Shakira is 42 -- especially not in this photo! We love her hair and her hot pink fringe bikini. As she asks in her caption, yes, we do want her to design her own swimwear line!

5/20

Courteney Cox

It's been a long time since Courteney was on Friends, but at 55, she's still beloved by fans everywhere. Can we talk about how epic this boomerang is? Not only is Courteney rocking that suit, but she looks so casual grabbing her drink and glasses at the end.

6/20

Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union, 46, just became a mom for the first time at the end of last year when she welcomed baby Kaavia via surrogate. And even though she's been busy learning how to be a mom, she's still fitting beach time in.

Bikini and no makeup. She looks so pretty!

7/20

Jenna Fischer

This former OfficeΒ star is now 45 and recently shared this photo from her pool day. We can't see Pam Beesly in this bikini, but it's definitely working for Jenna. She and husband Lee Kirk have two kids -- Harper, 5, and Weston, 7.

8/20

Mariah Carey

We'd say we're surprised by how young this pop legend still looks, but then again, it isΒ Mariah Carey we're talking about. Mariah is now a 49-year-old mother of two, and she's killing it. A sparkly bikini? Where can we get one?!

9/20

Gwyneth Paltrow

At 46, Gwyneth Paltrow is at the top of her game, even when she's at the beach. Not only does she look great, but this photo in general is absolutely beautiful. This GOOP goddess is always traveling and making us soΒ jealous with the photos she shares -- including this one.

10/20

Kourtney Kardashian

Kourtney Kardashian turned 40 this year, but she looks much younger. (Those good Kardashian genes go a long way!) She frequently sports bikinis in many of her Instagram photos, because she's always hopping from one exotic locale to another.

We're forever jealous!

11/20

Christie Brinkley

Christie Brinkley is known for how impossibly young she looks at 65. She never seems to age. Is anyone surprised at how stunning she looks in a bikini?

Not us.

We're just hoping that we look this good in our 60s.

12/20

Heidi Klum

This 46-year-old model couldn't possibly look better! Heidi shared this boomerang while modeling her swimsuit line, showing off her bikini bod andΒ her talents all at the same time. We love everything about this -- hair included -- which looks fantastic, by the way.

13/20

Brooke Shields

All of these former supermodels are undoubtedly turning so many heads at the beach! Brooke, who's now 54, looks stunning lounging on this boat. Is there anything better than spending a summer day out on the water?

14/20

Trista Sutter

Trista was the very first Bachelorette, and she barely looks any older than she did then! This 46-year-old mom of two is as beautiful as ever ... and so is her husband. Not all reality TV relationships last, but these two have been together since she chose him as the winner of her final rose.

15/20

Busy Philipps

This actor and talk show host is now 40, and yes, she looks amazing. We don't know what we love more about this photo: The caption, her swimsuit, or the fact that she's wearing a mermaid tail.

It's all epic.

16/20

Heather Graham

At 49, Heather has had a truly successful career -- oh, and she looks like thisΒ in a bikini. No big deal, just hanging out in Italy and looking super classy all at the same time. The jealousy over how pretty she looks andΒ her vacation destination is real.

17/20

Eva Longoria

Why are we not surprised that Eva Longoria looks this good in a swimsuit? At 44, this lady is killing it, and there's nowhere we'd rather be than having a drink on a boat in Capri. What are the chances she'll let us switch places with her before her next vacation?

18/20

Elizabeth Hurley

Here, Elizabeth is showing off one of her own swimsuits that she designed, and we're loving it. Plus, Elizabeth, who's now 54, looks amazing.

Can we talk about those abs? No wonder she's all about that bikini life.

19/20

Molly Sims

Molly's looking casual in Saint-Tropez, France, and yes, she looks incredible. She's even accessorized her swimsuit, which is truly going above and beyond ... and it works for her. These days, this model is 46, but does she even look a day over 30?

20/20

Jennifer Lopez

Of course Jennifer Lopez has made this list -- duh.

At 50, she has a legendary music career behind her with a lot to look forward to, and somehow, she manages to hit the gym enough to look like thisΒ at the beach.

Excuse us?!
