For many women, aging is undoubtedly made out to be a terrifying thing. This causes some to attempt to hold onto their youth in vain through the use of various cosmetic procedures and beauty regimens. Thankfully, a new generation of 40-something celebrities has been markedly proving that getting older doesn't have to be scary. In fact, it can actually be sexy. Starlets (and mothers) like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj consistently put their curvaceous bodies on display online. On Monday (March 13), Ashanti joined them with some saucy snaps of her own.

The R&B darling's Instagram photo dump starts off relatively innocent. She stands chest-deep in a beautiful pool, an extravagant tray of colourful food sitting in front of her. "Floating breakfast in Abu Dhabi," Ashanti wrote in the caption, tagging her location specifically as Saadiyat Island. It appears that she indulged in tropical fruits, a smoothie, and plenty of other yummy treats while hiding from the sun in an oversized hat.

In the next photo, the 42-year-old shows off her entire orange bikini (and her toned but curvy body). She wore her swimsuit under a floor-length coverup in the same colour. Her long black hair was worn down and left to hang around her waist. The same sunhat from before shaded her face from the UV rays shining down. The third and final image is taken from the edge of the pool, where much of the breakfast remains in the wicker tray, waiting to be eaten. Off in the distance, Ashanti relaxes on a chair, fruity drink in hand.

While she's enjoying Abu Dhabi alone in her post, the New Yorker obviously had company who captured the perfect snapshots for her. Many fans are praising her lavish lifestyle in the comments, writing things like, "Ashanti is overall lifestyle goals! Taking notes," and "Little miss STAYS ON VACATION." Elsewhere, someone joked about the food left to sit in the sun, writing, "Can I get them leftovers? Respectfully."

She keeps her love life relatively private. Still, if we had to guess who Ashanti would bring on a baecation, it would be Nelly. Just last month, she was reportedly caught wearing the "Just A Dream" hitmaker's chain. This caused some to speculate about a possible reunion between the former lovers. Nothing has been confirmed at this time, but make sure to check back later for more updates on your favourite celebrities.
