Catherine Zeta-Jones took to Instagram on Friday to share a throwback photo of herself in a stunning backless gown, and the shot was taken over 30 years ago. 

The actress can be seen with her back to the camera in the photo, wearing an incredible black ball gown that featured an open back with sparkling jewel straps. 

Catherine looked the epitome of elegance in the photo, despite not being able to see her face. The star wore her hair in a curled pin-up style as she posed for the cameras on the red carpet. 

The 53-year-old shared the throwback snap on Instagram with the caption: "Friday Flashback! Me, in my 20's! Backflash!!!!"

The star's post was inundated with comments sharing their love for the three-decade-old shot. One follower wrote: "Gorgeous then, gorgeous now."
