Why Sharon Stone posed nude at 57

Sharon Stone, who created a stir by crossing and uncrossing her legs in the 1992 thriller Basic Instinct, has done it again. At 57, the super sexy actress has posed in nothing more than heels and diamonds for Harper's Bazaar's September issue.

"I'm aware that my a*s looks like a bag of flapjacks. But I'm not trying to be the best-looking broad in the world. At a certain point you start asking yourself, 'What really is sexy?'" peoplestylewatch.com quoted her as saying.

"It's not just the elevation of your boobs. It's being present and having fun and liking yourself enough to like the person that's with you. If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we'd all be having a hard day today," said Stone.
