Drew Barrymore has long been a vocal advocate for body positivity, using her platform to celebrate self-love, authenticity, and aging on her own terms. In new photos obtained by The Daily Mail, Barrymore, 50, showcases confidence and body positivity. The actor was on a yacht vacation in St. Tropez with her family, embracing aging and self-love in a black swimsuit.
Drew Barrymore Embraces the Moment on the Water
Drew Barrymore is soaking up the summer sun and living life to the fullest in the moment. Page Six reported that the 50-year-old star was photographed over the weekend enjoying a family yacht trip in St. Tropez. The “First 50 Dates” actress was seen flaunting a sleek black swimsuit and her signature joyful energy.
Barrymore was seen laughing as she jumped off the yacht into the sea and later swam back with a loved one before climbing aboard the luxury vessel. Her children were also seen relaxing nearby, making it a true family affair.
Staying Grounded While Keeping It Real
Barrymore’s refreshing confidence has resonated with fans, especially after she addressed plastic surgery speculation earlier this year. During an April episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show“, one viewer asked her to share the secret behind her self-acceptance.
“I haven’t done anything, and I want to try and stay that way,” she said, before adding, “Do whatever works for you.” The actress emphasized that self-love and kindness matter more than chasing perfection. “The only thing I do know is don’t judge other people because they do things differently,” she shared.

Still, Barrymore is focused on embracing every part of herself: “I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself… The kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game.”
The Truth Behind the Transformation
The “Santa Clarita Diet” actress recently revealed on Instagram that she had lost 20 pounds during Wellness Week, but noted that her journey goes far beyond numbers.
“I go up and I go down. The rollercoaster of my body is a challenging, but beautiful ride,” she wrote alongside before-and-after photos.
She candidly admitted to feeling defeated at times: “There have been times I have stood in my closet and just cried. Hated getting dressed. Didn’t feel good!”
Body Image & Motherhood: A Real Conversation
Barrymore credits her daughters with helping her shift focus from vanity to self-worth. “Whatever the aftermath on my body, well bring it on!” she wrote, adding that her goals were never appearance-driven. “I never beat myself up or forced myself to look a certain way,” she told Health magazine. “We’ve got to embrace it. We were all made a certain way.”
