Nineties Hollywood movie staple Shannon Elizabeth has posed in a swimsuit for the first time in 25 years.
The movie star was last seen in a bathing suit when she played up her pinup image by posing for Maxim magazine in 2001.
And before that the brunette bombshell showed off her figure in white lingerie for her smash hit teen movie American Pie in 1999.
The 52-year-old Texas native made the move on Instagram on Sunday during a luxury beach vacation in Mauritius.
‘Mauritius just raised the bar! ☀️,’ began her Instagram caption.
‘A day at Shangri-La Le Touessrok… pristine white sand beaches, a private island you reach by boat, and the most dreamy beachside lunch at Coco’s Beach House. This place is something else.’

The sexy post fits nicely with her new career as an OnlyFans model.
‘My fans have come out for me like nothing I could have ever expected,’ Elizabeth told Us Weekly earlier this month.
‘It’s been a while, and I didn’t know if anybody would show up, if anybody would care that I was doing content,’ she continued.
‘To see the fans come out and support me the way they have has just been so overwhelming and humbling and exciting. It drives me to want to do more, to share more and to give back more.’
She also asked her pal Denise Richards, who has been on OnlyFans for almost four years, if she should try it out.
‘I reached out to Denise, actually,’ she said of her Love Actually costar.

‘Denise has been really helpful. She’s talked me through the whole thing, and she recommended people that she worked with who helped to teach her. I’m sure sometime in the future, maybe we’ll do a collaboration together.’
