She wore her honeyed blonde locks down loose and spruced up her holiday look with a pair of tinted square sunglasses, a cluster of bracelets and a slick of glossy lipstick.

In her caption, she simply penned "54" followed by a red heart emoji.

The mother-of-two is unapologetic when it comes to her sartorial choices and public image. The refreshingly candid star previously told Women's Health magazine: "I hate it when there's an age put on fashion – the idea that you can't get your knees or your arms out if you're a certain age," Amanda told the publication.

"I don't think like that. I dress for myself and other women, and I really try to encourage self-confidence. You can often change how you feel by feeling good in what you're wearing – it's like armour, isn't it?"

She went on to say: "I wish I could say that I dress for comfort, but I definitely don't. I try and show off what I think are my best bits while I still can, so I'll often have a bit of leg or a bit of hip out."
