‘Friends’ Star Courteney Cox (62) Serves Sizzling ‘Friends’-Level Heat in a Black Bikini on Her Hawaiian Getaway

Courteney Cox has spent decades proving she can do it all. She helped define a generation of sitcom humor, anchored a horror franchise and is now carving out a second career behind the camera. So it’s no surprise that when she takes a break, the internet notices.

This autumn, the actress has been in full vacation mode. She spent time on a luxury yacht off the Spanish island of Mallorca with longtime friend Jennifer Aniston, along with Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and Pedro Pascal. The group was photographed relaxing on the boat, swimming and trying water sports.

Her next stop was Hawaii, and the beach photos from it have fans buzzing. Cox, 62, was photographed in a black bikini during a dip in the ocean ahead of the wedding of her close friend Jennifer Meyer. She layered stacked gold necklaces and gold earrings over the swimwear and pulled her dark hair into a ponytail.

The photos show her wading knee-deep through the surf, then back on the sand slipping on a dark cover-up. It’s an effortless, confident beach look, and the images have gotten the “age is just a number” treatment from several outlets. The vibe is pure vacation, with a glamorous touch.

The occasion was a big one. Meyer’s wedding to billionaire Geoff Ogunlesi reportedly drew a star-studded guest list, including Kate Hudson and Leonardo DiCaprio. Cox was also reported to have hit the beach with Hudson before the ceremony.

The trip came about a month after Cox made another rare public appearance, this time with her daughter Coco Arquette. Between the yacht, the beach and the wedding, it’s been a busy stretch of social outings for the ‘Friends’ star.

Cox has been open about how she stays active. She has said she plays tennis twice a week and does Pilates once a week. She used to box twice a week, but a hurt left knee changed that.

She has also said that as she gets older, weight training matters more to her. Reports describe her routine as including interval training and a mostly clean diet, with things like celery juice and decaf coffee. It’s a balanced approach that seems to be working for her.

The beach photos arrive at a high point for her career. Cox returned as Gale Weathers in ‘Scream 7’, which was released this year and became the highest-grossing film in the franchise. She is the only actor, aside from the voice of Ghostface, to appear in every ‘Scream’ movie.

She has also been busy behind the camera. Her new film ‘Evil Genius’, a true-crime thriller starring Patricia Arquette and David Harbour, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 12. Cox has said she would be open to directing a future ‘Scream’ installment, noting that nobody knows the franchise better than she does.

It’s a long way from her early days, which included a role in Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing in the Dark’ video in 1984. Four decades later, she’s still reinventing herself and still turning heads.

Celebrity beach photos are nothing new, but these struck a chord because of the star at their center. Cox has been a familiar face for so long that watching her enjoy life, with friends and without a care, feels like a gift to longtime fans. She seems to be having a blast, and the internet is happy to celebrate with her.

The trip also fits her recent run of adventures, from a yacht in Mallorca to a wedding in paradise. If this is what a break looks like for Courteney Cox, we hope she takes many more of them.
