Kerry Washington has been a fixture in Hollywood for over two decades, and has barely aged at all. Over the weekend the 44-year-old actress showed off her perfectly toned and taut figure on Instagram in an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie, yellow string bikini, looking seriously fit. ("Here comes the sun," the captioned it.) What exactly does the former Scandal star do to look half her age? Celebwell has rounded up some of Kerry Washington’s best diet, fitness and wellness tips and tricks, and the photos that prove they work.

1. Pilates Is Her Go-To Workout

Kerry has been a Pilates devotee for several years, and has trained with Juliet Kaska and Nonna Gleyzer. “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” she told ELLE. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” Kerry told Women’s Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.”

2. She Does a Lot of Different Workouts

Kerry told Allure that exercise isn’t something she has to do, but actually enjoys. “I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she said. Some of her other favorites include SoulCycle, yoga, Peloton classes, dance classes, Gyrotonic training, and the elliptical machine. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics,” she said. “Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.”

3. She Loves Outdoor Exercise

Kerry also stays active outdoors with husband Nnamdi Asomugha. “My husband was a professional athlete, so we hike, we swim,” she told Allure.

4. Her Diet Is All About Balance

Kerry refuses to diet. “In general in life I try to live it, not diet,” she told People. “I think that’s hard when you’re restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do what’s going to make me feel good.” Nonna Gleyzer, one of her Pilates trainers, revealed to Shape that the actress “has always been an extremely healthy eater.” “She eats a lot of vegan products, with little clean meals throughout the day,” she said.

5. She Drinks Green Smoothies and Coconut Water

Kerry revealed to ELLE that she is super into nutritionist Kim Snyder’s Glowing Green Smoothie, which is packed with spinach, celery, lemon juice, cilantro, and more. “I try to keep it consistent year-round,” Washington said. Gleyzer added to Shape that she hydrates with coconut water. “She loves coconut water, which gives her potassium and important electrolytes. With the long hours she works, there’s really no room for her to play around. She needs to be in the best shape every single day, and she definitely is.”

6. And, A Lot of Water

“The things my mother always stressed were to drink a lot of water and get a lot of rest, which I used to roll my eyes at,” she told Oprah Magazine. “Now I think she’s a genius. Health and wellness really are the sources of beauty.”

7. She Doesn’t Drink a Lot of Alcohol

One beverage she doesn’t sip on often? Anything with alcohol. “I’m also not a drinker,” she told Elle. “I love a drink occasionally, but I wouldn’t be able to handle it. You see one sip, but I have to drink three cups to get the scene done,” she said. “I tend to be a ‘when in Rome drinker.’ When I’m traveling, I drink what they have there or I’ll get a special cocktail.”

Hollywood’s most sizzling stars filled up the red carpet of the 2021 Emmy Awards on Sunday night rocking the hottest designer fashions. From Anya Taylor-Joy’s backless Dior gown to Michaela Coel’s neon yellow ab-baring Christopher John Rogers, skin was one of the most notable accessories of the evening as celebs showed off their extremely fit physiques. Read on to see the 10 hottest looks of the Emmys and learn about the health, fitness, and wellness secrets of the stars—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. Anya Taylor-Joy

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

It was impossible not to notice Anya Taylor-Joy’s beautiful back, on full display in her gorgeous pale yellow Dior Haute Couture. One of Anya’s biggest health rules is that she maintains a meat-free diet. "I've been a vegetarian since I was eight, so I don't touch meat or fish. I was vegan for a long time I got into it because it's the most ecologically conscious choice you can make as a consumer," she told Harper's Bazaar. "When I was a vegan it was the healthiest I've ever felt, because I had so much energy. I was eating a ton because I have a really big appetite and was getting in more greens. As a vegetarian I love a lot of Italian food – but I don't get that many greens in there!"

2. Cynthia Erivo

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Baby got back! Cynthia Erivo also showed off her gorgeously toned back in a white Louis Vuitton featuring a colorfully mermaid-esque feathered fishtail. The Genius star is a longtime vegan and trains at the celeb-filled gym The Dogpound. “I know that my body asks for that amount of activity and it makes me feel good. I don’t think that working out is just a physical thing, I think it really is about how you feel,” she told Bon Appetit when asked about what drives her hardcore workotu mentality. “You release serotonin when you work out, so I think I may be slightly addicted to the feeling. The Dogpound is a great place. They try out new workouts on me because they know I can handle it.”

3. Gillian Anderson

Gillian Anderson bared her flat abs in a boho-inspired creamed Chloé number. According to the star, fitness isn’t a huge priority for her. “I don’t try that hard to stay in shape,” she told the Daily Mail. “I go through stages of yoga a few times a week and throw in some running.”

4. Michaela Coel

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Michaela Coel flaunted her abs in a stunning neon yellow Christopher John Rogers number. “The number one thing in self-care, for me is not caring what people would think of you,” she told The Guardian. The I May Destroy You star is also a yoga-loving vegan.

5. Issa Rae

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Issa Rae left little to the imagination in a shimmering, sheer chain link gown from Aliétte. "I exercise for, like, an hour each day,” she told Women’s Health about how she stays in shape. “My neighborhood has a bunch of hills, so it's walking up hills. Then I alternate between walking and jogging. I hate jogging — you're going in circles, but I recognize that it helps.” She also follows a “paleo-leaning” diet.

6. Kerry Washington

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Kerry Washington’s curves were on display in her slinky Etro gown. “I'm a big Pilates girl and I love to hike,” Kerry told ELLE about how she stays in shape. “You don’t even want to be in your own body when [you] show up at the gym—I didn’t for years,” she added to Women's Health. “As women, we live in this culture where it’s like, ‘You have to fix this.’ Pilates has allowed me to be focused on my appearance and my health in ways that are not abusive or critical.”

7. Kaley Cuoco

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Kaley Cuoco made her first post-split appearance on the Emmy red carpet in a neon yellow Vera Wang Haute gown. The Flight Attendant star attributes her fantastic figure to switching up her workouts. "If I'm doing yoga, we're doing it every day this week….Then I'm like, 'Oh my god, I have to switch.' Then I'm going crazy on SoulCycle….'Okay, I have to switch,'" she told Women's Health.

8. Taraji P. Henson

73rd Annual Emmy Awards taking place at LA LiveJay L. Clendenin/Los Angeles Times

Taraji P. Henson took the plunge in a sheer black and silver Elie Saab gown. The actress, who recently launched her own workout, maintains that her diet helps her stay in shape. "I try to do my proteins. When I want a salt taste, I'll do boiled eggs with my fermented vegetables. When I want a sweet taste, I'll grab a Special K protein bar or protein shake. I just want to make healthier choices. I had a health scare and I want to live. My health scare came from me not eating right. You think just because you're small and you work out that everything is coming up roses, until you take a look inside. There are so many things that we eat that are bad for us — hormones in animals — that affect you. Coffee on an empty stomach — who knew it could kill you? I know now," she told the Cut.

9. Catherine Zeta-Jones

73rd Primetime Emmy Awards - ArrivalsRich Fury/Getty Images

Catherine Zeta-Jones looked forever young and oh-so-leggy in a strapless, cabernet colored Christina Ottaviano gown slit to the thigh. Catherine once revealed to the WSJ. Magazine that she eats three, healthy meals a day. "I only actually eat real food because I have to right now. My dream is to only eat desserts, ever. It's a goal. I'm a big kind of European, three meals a day [person]," she added. "In the whole lockdown, I relished having my kids and my husband here for breakfast, lunch and dinner." And, unlike many other stars she creates her own workouts. “I don’t have a trainer. Crazy, right? But I don’t need anyone to motivate me,” she told InStyle. “I love exercise, even things like the elliptical machine and stretching. It’s a legacy of dancing all those years.”

10. Keri Russell

HBO/ HBO Max Emmy Nominees ReceptionFilmMagic/FilmMagic

Keri Russell flaunted her fabulous figure in a glam-to-the-max sequinned and feathered Zuhair Murad gown. The actress has a “workout anti-routine,” she once revealed to Shape. “I’m definitely a physical person. I’m happiest when I work out. You need that hit—where everything is moving and pumping and you instantly feel positive. I feel my absolute best—my sexiest—after a good workout. Right now, that’s usually a tough bike ride. Or I’ll dance around in my room to loud music and do moves I remember from a pregnancy video I had. But if I have a good chunk of time, I’ll go to a gym and do exercises using a band that a trainer taught me 20 years ago,” she explained.

Los,Angeles,,Usa.,June,11,,2019:,Jennifer,Aniston,At,TheShutterstock

4. Kerry Washington

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,March,02,,2023:,Kerry,Washington,At,TheShutterstock

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,15:,Zoe,Kravitz,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Witherspoon worked with Zoe Kravitz on Big Little Lies, and the two developed a close friendship.

And, you know, I've found a really wonderful balance in terms of, you know, putting my mental health and my body first, and I can't perform if I don't have fuel and if I don't feel well.”

6. Mindy Kaling

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,25:,Mindy,Kaling,Arrives,For,ProducersShutterstock

Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling worked on the 2018 film A Wrinkle In Time together. In an interview with People, Kaling revealed that she has found self-acceptance. "I'm feeling really confident in my body these days, which is not something that I've been able to say for my whole life, unfortunately," she says. "I feel great. I know people are really interested in my body and the changes in my body, and I think it's flattering and sometimes it's just a little much, so I don't try to tune it in too much. The truth is that I spend so much time and energy trying to be healthy."

7. Kate Hudson

Los,Angeles,-,Jan,14:,Kate,Hudson,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Witherspoon has known Kate Hudson for over 20 years. She works with trainer, Brian Nguyen, to help her stay in shape. Nguyen talked about Hudson’s workout routine to Shape Magazine.

8. Julianna Margulies

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,07:,Julianna,Margulies,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Julianna Margulies is Witherspoon’s co-star in The Morning Show. The actress shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with TODAY. “I like being alone with no to one hear me.

9. Nicole Kidman

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,18:,Nicole,Kidman,Arrives,For,ìtheShutterstock

Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman worked together on Big Little Lies. Kidman has amazing skin, and shared her secrets with Forbes. "I wouldn’t say I have a typical skincare routine as my routine definitely changes based on where I am (Nashville vs Sydney), what I’m doing (i.e; on-set or on vacation) and the weather. Over the years, I’ve added more oils and serums to my routine but my constant is a simple cleanser. And I'm always wearing sunscreen.”

10. Laura Dern

Laura,Dern,At,The,90th,Annual,Academy,Awards,Held,AtShutterstock

Witherspoon and Laura Dern have been best friends for years. They even worked on Big Little Lies together. In an interview with Shape, Dern talked about her skincare routine.

London,,United,Kingdom,-,March,13,,2018:,Oprah,Winfrey,AttendsShutterstock

Witherspoon and Longoria are close friends. Longoria is an avid chef, and tells Women’s Health that she likes to use natural foods. “I grew up on a ranch where we ate what was on the land—when it was squash season, we ate squash for three months. It gave me such an appreciation for where food comes from: It comes from the ground.”

13. Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek is close friends with Witherspoon. She revealed in an interview with People that she does restorative yoga exercises throughout her day. “I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long,” she said. “She taught me to tone [my muscles] without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.”

14. Kate Winslet

London,,United,Kingdom,-,May,14,,2023:,Kate,Winslet,AttendsShutterstock

Kate Winslet is close friends with Witherspoon. She talked about her diet in an interview with MindFood.com. “Lots of green juicing. Our fridge is always full of spinach, kale, cucumbers. I’m vegetarian and my husband is vegan, so there’s a lot of plant-based focus in our home. My husband turning vegan is relatively recent, so that’s been a really fun education because you have to learn to be a little more inventive with foods.”

15. Natalie Portman

Los,Angeles,-,Jun,23:,Natalie,Portman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Natalie Portman is friends with Witherspoon, and the two have been photographed at events together. To prep for her role in Thor: Love & Thunder, Portman worked with Naomi Pendergast. "It wasn't just about having big muscles,” Pendergast told Shape Magazine. “Her role involved learning various stunts that required her to have a strong core and an agile ability to land well. I was definitely surprised at how intense the physical side of the role was.”

Halle Berry is devoted to fitness. “You just have to have the will and the desire. And you have to make up your mind that it's important. That's the hard work that people have to do," she told Harper’s Bazaar. "I've always been fit, and have always thought about fitness and taking care of my body. It's only changed in terms of how I've been adding to my fitness regimen," she told the magazine about how her approach has evolved. "It used to just be working out with weights, and then I got into Pilates, and then I got into yoga, and now I'm into martial arts."

2. Hailey Bieber

The supermodel, who trains at The Dogpound and is also a fan of pilates, tries to eat as plant-based as possible. "I tried a plant-based diet for two months during quarantine," she recently explained in Harper's Bazaar. "I felt great and I had a lot of energy, but it was not for me. I don't eat a strictly plant-based diet and I do still eat meat. I just don't eat a lot of it. I've picked up more fish, greens, and lentils." You will find her eating "a lot of vegetables and fish, not much meat, minimal dairy,” she recently told Byrdie. "I just feel better when I eat that way."

3. Gal Gadot

Gal prioritizes hydration. "I wake up and drink water like a camel," she recently revealed to Shape. "I have a full, chilled bottle of Smartwater + Clarity before coffee or anything else. She is also a big fan of the Mediterranean diet. I love to cook it, and I enjoy eating it too," she revealed. However, she is “not a saint” and does admit to cheating on occasion. "I eat cheeseburgers and stuff like that. But the majority of the time, I keep it healthy. And when I do, I'm more vital."

Kerry explained to Allure that she actually enjoys exercise, dabbling in lots of types. “I love to work out. It’s really important to me; it’s part of the culture of my family,” she said. Some of her other favorites include SoulCycle, yoga, Peloton classes, dance classes, Gyrotonic training, and the elliptical machine. “I do different things, but I’m most obsessed with water aerobics. Now I do it with my friends on the weekends.” She also likes pilates and jumping on her JumpSport trampoline.

5. Jordana Brewster

Jordana works out early in the morning. “I get up at, like, 5:15 a.m. every morning to run. I like treadmills—it hurts my knees too much to run outside. [My mom] is still a member at [a gym]. She’s in her mid-60s, and she works out. So I really got that from her, and I still defer to her,” she told Health. “I also go on hikes, which is really nice. I need to get steps in. I need to be outside and breathing fresh air. I’m so lucky that I live in L.A., where I can do that, because otherwise I would go absolutely stir-crazy.”

6. Ciara

While she trains four times a week, Ciara prioritizes her health daily. "What I learned by having that daily commitment—and it doesn’t mean that I go in the gym every day, because you need to let your body recover—but when I started to become more consistent, I realized how much better I felt, and how much easier my workouts became because it wasn’t so aggressive,” she told People. “That’s game-changing on the body and the mind. I feel like I can conquer the world on the days I work out, and it’s very rewarding.”

7. Addison Rae

Addison Rae flaunted her flat abs in a cutout gown courtesy of Brandon Maxwell. The TikTok sensation trains at the celeb-mecca The Dogpound, recently giving fans a sneak peak of her workout, which included battle ropes, cable glute kickbacks, jumping jack slams and ankle weight kick backs like a boss. Read more about it here. She also focuses on her glutes during her workout sessions. "I've done this butt workout so many times because it literally burns so bad but it's so good,” she told Kourtney Kardashian during a pandemic workout video the duo shot. A few of her everyday butt-busting moves include donkey kicks, fire hydrants and fire hydrant extensions on each leg.

8. Eva Longoria

"Especially as you get older, people want to know the secret to looking good and there is no secret. It's diet and exercise," she told Vogue Australia. "People say they eat well but they don't exercise. Or they run 20 miles a day but they can't lose weight. You have to do both." Eva does a bunch of different workouts. "I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she revealed to People.

9. Jennifer Hudson

“I don't have time to do much exercise, I just watch what I eat,” the Weight Watchers ambassador said in an interview. “I'm very careful and conscious of what I eat.”

10. Demi Moore

Demi Moore is embracing aging, recently confessing to W that “things do change” in an interview. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance,” she said.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

She Runs

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
