Jewels are definitely shining bright this holiday season.
Recently, 51-year-old country singer Jewel took to Instagram, sharing a series of bikini photos from her getaway to the Caribbean island of Barbuda. She captioned the post with a lighthearted note about soaking up some sun before winter’s chill sets in.
The first shot in her set features Jewel at the beach, smiling and wearing an animal-print bikini, with the beautiful ocean waves in the background. Another picture shows her striking a mirror selfie in that same bikini while inside her hotel room. The collection also highlights some delicious meals and stunning sea views.
Fans were quick to comment on her fit physique, with one saying, “Amazing 🍷 Wine. 🔥🔥 Looks amazing!” Another quipped, “Didn’t you really drink the rejuvenating serum? It just makes you look younger forever.”
Another fan humorously commented about her timelessness, likening her to Benjamin Button, “He looks younger and younger as he gets older lol.” Others offered well-wishes alongside their compliments.
This winter jaunt comes after Jewel faced criticism earlier this year. She had performed with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the MAHA Inaugural Ball, which stirred some backlash among her followers.
During that event, she surprised attendees by singing an acoustic version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” and notable guests like Cheryl Hines were visibly moved. However, not all reactions were positive; fans expressed disappointment over her association with the event.
In response, Jewel reflected on her role as a mental health advocate. She mentioned that mental health issues affect everyone and emphasized the urgency to address the current mental health crisis in the U.S. Jewel has been active with various nonprofits focused on this cause, including the Inspiring Children Foundation and Innerworld, which she co-founded.
In a follow-up video, she stressed that if she waited to act until all views aligned perfectly, she’d never participate. “The situation is so imperfect that we must find ways to engage,” she encouraged her audience. “We can’t wait another four years.”
