Kate Beckinsale, 52, poses in a bikini and mini-skirt as she reflects on suffering the 'worst grief' after hitting back at body-shaming trolls.

The actress last week tearfully revealed the loss of her beloved mother in 2025 and stepfather a year earlier, was the reason behind her dramatic weight loss

Kate Beckinsale has defied skinny-shamers by posing in skimpy bikinis and mini skirts for slew of new Instagram snaps on Monday.

The actress, 52, who last week tearfully revealed the loss of her beloved mother in 2025 and stepfather a year earlier, was the reason behind her dramatic weight loss, has now once again opened up about suffering the 'worst grief'. 

 Kate previously admitted that she had been left 'paralysed' with grief following mum Judy Loe's death in July 2025 aged 78 following a long battle with cancer, while stepfather Roy Battersby died aged 87 in January 2024. 

 She showcased her taut frame in the snaps alongside a lengthy caption about dealing with death and telling others in grief to 'wear whatever the f*** you want'. 

 Kate penned: 'Learnt a few things today. All the Guatis are female. I don’t know what the men think they’re doing, but my apologies to the one I called Philip for three days- I didn’t know. 

 'In Polo, the most aggressive and keen to win are the females. The males will go on a little trek with you but the females are too keen to win ….didn’t know that. Watching 55 episodes of Four in a bed helps with complicated early grief as does kissing multiple horses on the nose.'

She added over her 26-year-old daughter Lily Mo Sheen (pictured) who she shares with ex Michael Sheen: 'And finally, my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the whole world X'

Judy's death came 18 months after the death of her second husband, and Kate's stepfather Roy (pictured), who died in January 2024 

Kate's biological father, actor Richard Beckinsale, famed for his roles in popular shows Rising Damp and Porridge, suddenly died on March 19, 1979 at the age of just 31 

She continued: 'When you are suffering, it is very often not the people you expected to be there for you who are. In actual fact it’s usually women who have suffered a tremendous loss, multiple losses, been raped, been abused, injured or betrayed by everyone in their lives who actually step in and try to carry some of your grief with you. That is the most immensely humbling and moving thing.

'Grief is not a contest - whatever and whoever you have lost, your grief, your own grief is the worst grief. Don’t let anyone make you feel you’re in some kind of grief competition that’s just bulls***.

'Grief needs a witness. You cannot do it alone. It will sometimes be the most surprising people who can even for five minutes sit with you in it and sometimes it’s animals and in fact often it’s animals and thank God thank, God thank, God for animals.'

Kate went on: 'Wear wherever the f*** you like. Whether that is a hat with live birds in it or ruffled knickers, platform shoes, sweatpants covered in stains, cargo pants and wraparound sunglasses- do your thing. Life is short. Give yourself joy and amuse your sensibility in whatever ways you can.

'Emily Dickinson, Mary Oliver, David Bowie,Verlaine,Rimbaud,Brian Patten, Sylvia Plath,Yevgeny Yevtushenko,C.S Lewis, Simon and Garfunkel, Adrian Mitchell. Anna Akhmatova et cetera et cetera have helped me through dark times since I was very young. Thank you to the poets x.'

Before adding of her 26-year-old daughter Lily Mo Sheen, who she shares with ex Michael Sheen: 'And finally, my daughter is the most beautiful girl in the whole world.'

Last week Kate explained in a tearful video how the loss of her mum and her stepfather the year before, led her 'body to close down'.

Kate looked visibly emotional as she wiped away her tears, and said: '2025 was a really really hard year. It was also the last year that my incredible mum was on this planet.
