Mad Men Star Kiernan Shipka Shares Swimsuit Photo "For My Birthday"

Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka is celebrating her birthday with a very special selfie. Shipka, who played Sally Draper on the hit show, just turned 24, and shared a picture of herself posing in front of the mirror in a pink bathing suit. “Got a bow on for my birthday,” she captioned the post. Shipka practically grew up on TV—here’s how the actress stays grounded day-to-day.

1. Keep It Moving

Shipka prioritizes getting some activity in every day. “Getting some good movement is really important to clear my brain when I can,” she says. “I love yoga; I love going on walks. If I’m feeling fun and wild, maybe a class. I love journaling. That’s been a huge part of my life for about a year now. It’s amazing. I actually just looked back the other day at a bunch of old journals. That’s why you do it, you know? To look back on them. I love playing music; I play the guitar. I also really like cooking for myself and eating foods that feel nourishing.”

2. Lots of Vegetables

Shipka enjoys cooking but keeps it very simple, with vegetables being the star. “I cook vegetables and meat, and that’s pretty much where it ends,” she says. “I’m so into vegetables. I could go so far as to say that I go to the farmers market and let the vegetables speak to me. A lot of root vegetables and warm foods during the fall and winter. We could get into the sort of Ayurvedic aspect of it—like grounding foods. Top-favorite vegetable is cauliflower, for sure. And have you ever done roasted celery? It’ll change how you look at celery. Because right now you look at it like ants on a log, and that only goes so far. But if you toss it with some good-quality oil, salt, pepper, even get some oregano and thyme up in there, and then roast it at 400º for like 45 minutes, you’re gonna love celery all of a sudden.”

3. Simple Skincare Routine

Shipka’s skincare regimen is simple yet thorough. “My first step is usually just wiping my face with some water; I normally don’t use a cleanser in the morning,” she says. “I wake up very groggy and tired, and if I can expedite the process in any way I will. I’ve struggled with my skin before—I’ve suffered from bouts of cystic acne. That started as a teen, and I think that’s what made me focused on my skin-care routine… I usually find that when getting my makeup done for an event or for a shoot, I peep the products that the makeup artist is using and if I see something new that I like I’ll buy it.”

4. She Loves Crystals

Shipka is interested in crystals for healing. “I’ve got some crystals, and I’ve been using them as of late, mostly for healing purposes,” she says. “I cleansed them under the moon; I did the whole thing. I mostly use quartz. I have bad hips, so I’ve noticed that if I’m achy and I lie down and place the stones there, it really does help. But you have to set a clear intention for it. You can’t just expect a crystal to work; you have to really vibe it and manifest. I also have a Dalmatian Jasper that I’m really into. It’s supposed to be a stone that’s really good for adjusting to change in your life. And since this show has been such a massive change, I think I’m gonna start leaning on that stone a little more.”

5. Self-Care

Shipka refuses to let any job burn her out, as when she was filming Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. “There were a couple moments when I just felt completely burnt out and had to start taking a good hard look at what I was doing outside of work and readjust,” she says. “I think that compromises are a good thing if you’re doing a job you love.”

Outer Banks star Madison Bailey has never been more confident in her own skin, and it shows. Bailey, who plays Kiara "Kie" Carrera on the show, shared a picture of herself wearing a black Tommy Hilfiger bikini and shorts, posing on a dock next to the ocean. “Red hot @tommyhilfiger summer,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Bailey’s style has evolved, and what’s next for the actress.

1. Low-Key Beauty

Bailey says her role on Outer Banks inspired a different approach to beauty. "I wear a lot less makeup than I did before the show," she says. "That definitely changed the way I view makeup. I'm more into a natural, glowy look versus a full face. It made me more comfortable in my own skin. I feel a lot more naturally beautiful than I ever have."

2. Dreaming of Cher

Bailey is passionate about any female-driven storylines. “Honestly, my dream role would be if they remade Burlesque. Me and Cher, oh my God,” she says. “At the end of my career, I want the list of things I haven’t done to be very small. I like so many different movies myself. I am a watcher of many genres, whether it’s Burlesque or if they did a modern black-and-white spy movie…I hope people can watch one movie that I’m in and cry and watch one movie that I’m in and laugh and then be terrified — I want to tell all of the stories.”

3. Skincare Style

Bailey is a proud face of Fenty Beauty. “My skin is usually pretty in the middle—not too oily or too dry,” she says. “For the most part, my skin stays clear, but if I’m breaking out, it’s typically either from traveling or it’s that time of the month. I usually gotta up my skincare routine when I’m traveling and always make sure to bring a variety of products with me. In general, my skin priorities are having an even tone and keeping my skin hydrated. I feel like that’s the key.”

4. Social Media Star

Bailey has a huge following on social media, which she says is a double-edged sword. “The best part is I feel like I can interact with people at any moment,” she says. “The other day I got on Live just to talk to people and let them get to know me more. I plan on being solely an actress and I feel like that’s my platform for people to get to know who I am in my private life. I don’t mind getting personal. I’m an open book 90 percent of the time. I’d say the worst part about the following is the other 10 percent of that time, when I want privacy. It brings me a lot of anxiety at random times.”

5. SPF Every Day

Bailey’s skincare regimen is simple yet effective. “My skincare routine has definitely evolved since I started getting into it—lots of trial and error,” she says. “I’d say one of my biggest mistakes was using harsh exfoliants and using them too often. Now, I use way gentler products overall. Another thing is that I, like a lot of other people, underestimated the importance of applying sunscreen daily. I do [apply it daily] now.”

You star Tilly Keeper celebrated her birthday this year with a fun-filled trip to sunny Ibiza, Spain. Keeper, who plays Phoebe on the show, shared pictures from her celebratory trip, including ones of her enjoying food and drinks while wearing a variety of bikinis. “Took a brief hiatus from my binge-watch of Vanderpump Rules to go to Ibiza for my bday,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Keeper stays fit, and how she feels about playing Phoebe.

1. Running In the Park

Keeper focuses on staying active over spending hours at the gym. “I used to dance, but now I just do whatever I can whenever I feel like it,” she says. “I might run around the house, run around the park or do a few star jumps. I’m not rigorous with it – I don’t do it very often at all! I like to avoid fatty or sugary foods, but it’s not a priority –I cheat every day! My mum is really slim, so thank goodness that I inherited those genes.”

2. Beauty Essentials

Keeper has a few beauty essentials she can’t live without. “Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat highlighter, because it makes me look more awake in the morning,” she says. “I also love my eyelash curlers. I curl them every morning – even if I’m up at 6am! A good red lipstick. My favorite is Chanel Rouge Coco because the color is flattering on my skin tone. It’s important to use make-up to highlight your beauty, rather than try to create something that’s not there. I have done it in the past and it looks terrible.”

3. Playing Phoebe

Keeper loves the complexity of her You character. “On first look, Phoebe comes across as vapid, a bit of an airhead, materialistic, superficial… and she can be all those things,” she says. “But the real core of this character is goodness, light and naivety. She has a lot of love to give – and she doesn't have a lot of love in her life, and I think that makes her quite a lonely individual. But it doesn't necessarily make her a jaded person. And I think that's really nice – she's very optimistic, despite the tone of the whole show.”

4. Rock and Roll Fashionista

Keeper describes her style as very edgy and rock and roll. “I own a lot of leather jackets,” she says. “I like the idea that it looks as if I’ve just rolled out of bed and put my outfit on, when actually I’ve very meticulously planned what I’m going to wear!”

5. EastEnders Star

Keeper started her career on the iconic British soap EastEnders. “It was my drama school!” she says. “I was there from 18 till 21 or 22 and I learned how to work with multiple directors. Not just over the years but over weeks because you have such a wide range of episodes to work across. It just taught me so many skills. It's a skill set that you can only learn by being on the kind of set where everything's fast paced and a huge ensemble. It was like a bootcamp – a really great learning experience and set me up so well.”
