Laverne Cox celebrated her 52nd birthday in style on Wednesday with a steamy striptease video shared with her seven million Instagram followers.
The Orange Is The New Black star redefined middle age as she stripped out of a striking black jacket to reveal her trim figure and a tiny black bikini.
‘I turn 52 years old today. I’m so grateful to be alive and healthy and wiser, truly wiser!’ she began her post’s caption.
‘I genuinely love myself today. That hasn’t always been the case. I’m surrounded by love. That’s intentional,’ continued the transgender actress and activist, who was honored earlier in May at the Webby Awards.
Laverne wrote that she was ’52 and surrouned [sic] by love and abundance. Thank you God!’

She was dressed in an asymmetrical black jacket with decorative yellow embroidered lines over her sleeves and chest.
The jacket had a cropped front that left her toned stomach in full view, and the unusual item had cropped right half, while the left half of the jacket was connected to a longer back side that draped down her thighs.
Under the jacket, Laverne wore a black string bikini top made of a revealing semi-sheer mesh material, along with a low-cut hip-hugging bottom and sheer black gloves.
Laverne wore her hair in long blond waves, and she pouted her plump scarlet-painted lips as she looked suggestively into the camera while soundtracking her clip to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter song SPAGHETTII.
Laverne flipped her jacket back before removing it to reveal her svelte figure and her bikini.
She continued her caption by urging her followers to support transgender equality while referencing numerous states that have passed anti-trans laws in recent years.
‘In honor of my special day, please consider making a donation to @southernequality which helps families with trans members who may need relocation and travel expenses because 24 states now ban gender affirming care for young people,’ she wrote, before urging her followers to ‘Vote in November.’
She concluded with the hashtags ‘#TransIsBeautiful,’ ‘#BlackIsBeautiful,’ ‘#ProtectTransKids’ and ‘It’s my #Birthday.’
Earlier this month, Laverne took the stage in New York City at the 28th annual Webby Awards.
