Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has shared a striking snapshot of herself posing in her 'birthday suit' to mark her birthday on Wednesday.

Taking to Instagram on her special day, the Welsh star uploaded a black-and-white throwback image of herself rocking nothing except a pair of towering strappy heels. 

She is pictured posing in a lavish bathroom complete with slabs of marble, an ornate sink and a large bathtub. For added va-va-voom, Catherine has her raven tresses billowing behind her in a dramatic fashion. 

"In my birthday suit! After over 25 years of sharing my birthday day with my husband, I am running out of gift ideas!," she noted in her caption. "This is gift option two, golf balls being option one… of course."

Their Welsh abode reportedly boasts four bedrooms, a grey exposed brick exterior, dormer windows, glass bannisters and a mammoth garage for their cars.

Catherine and Michael had the property built for £1 million in 2004, with the hope that it would allow Catherine to visit her native country more often, and so that their two children could have a "Welsh upbringing".
