Andie MacDowell has managed to stay in great shape after decades in Hollywood.

Turns out her enviable size four shape comes from exercising and feeling proud of her body.

‘I love to exercise, I go to yoga and I walk a lot,’ she noted as she was seen going bra-free in a silky negligee dress when at the Cannes Film Festival in France this week.

‘Everyone talks about ageing arms and I can be hard on myself about my arms because they’re not perfect any more, but they’re actually not that bad.

‘I try to go without sleeves and not cover-up too much. They’re not bad!’ added the Four Weddings And A Funeral star.

The Hollywood star also insists she won’t ‘cover-up too much’.

She said: ‘When you age, your skin changes, and the way your skin looks changes.

Turns out her enviable size four shape comes from exercising and feeling proud of her body. ‘I love to exercise, I go to yoga and I walk a lot,’ she noted as she gets outdoors every day for a constitutional

‘I tell myself, In ten years’ time you’re going to say those arms were fabulous. Remember what you thought about your legs and all that time that you wasted?

‘So, for me now, I show my arms because I do work out a lot, and they look pretty good.’ she noted.

She thinks beauty ‘comes from the inside’.

The 67-year-old star enjoys working out to stay a size four and she follows a skincare routine but Andie doesn’t obsess about her appearance.

The actress – who has previously modelled for brands like Calvin Klein – told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: ‘I think it’s important not to look in the mirror too much.

‘Your substance and your beauty comes from the inside, so I do my skincare and a little make-up before I leave the house, and then I don’t think about it. Just enjoy your life and let the beauty radiate from the inside.’

Andie now wishes she was more lenient on herself during her younger years.

Asked if she would do anything differently, the movie star explained: ‘I would tell my younger self not to worry about what people think. 

‘To trust myself and feel good about my body.’

‘Everyone talks about ageing arms and I can be hard on myself about my arms because they’re not perfect any more, but they’re actually not that bad,’ added Andie

And there was a part of her body she did not like.

‘Oh my God. My legs were so great and I didn’t like them because they were athletic,’ said the St Elmo’s Fire star.

Andie previously claimed that she feels ‘too old’ to conform to Hollywood’s beauty standards.

The actress has enjoyed a successful career in the movie business – but Andie feels female stars continue to face unhealthy pressures.

She told People: ‘I did a fitting and the dress was really tight around my waist. It looks so good, but I woke up and I just knew it was not the right thing for me to do.

‘I wanted to wear something that was comfortable. And, of course, immediately I shamed myself for not being able to fit into this dress. But that’s Hollywood.’
