Sharon Stone revealed her new cover shoot for Icon magazine to her 3.4million Instagram followers on Sunday.
The 64-year-old actress went braless under a sheer, long-sleeved black dress for the dramatic image.
The Basic Instinct star wore a short white skirt and heels underneath the form-fitting piece of clothing.

The post was captioned: “Thank you @icon.magazin & our team!”
The black and white snap was shot on a marble floor with two large screens hanging against an ivy wall as a backdrop.
Earlier this week, the Primetime Emmy Award winner announced she was undergoing surgery to remove a large tumor.

Stone took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday with a personal message about her health
Stone took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday with a personal message about her health, saying she had “just another misdiagnosis and wrong procedure” and opted for “double epidurals” to treat her pain.
She then encouraged her followers to get a second opinion after she said a “large fibroid tumor” was found in her body following a previous medical misdiagnosis.
The Oscar nominee said that amid “worsening pain” she got a second opinion from another doctor, which revealed she “has a large fibroid that needs to come out.”
This comes 21 years after the beauty suffered a brain hemorrhage and stroke that nearly killed her.
Addressing women directly, the Total Recall star wrote: “Especially ladies: don’t be put off. GET A SECOND OPINION. It can save your life.’
Stone said she would be “out for 4-6 weeks to fully recover” and thanked fans for their care, adding, “It’s all good.”
This isn’t the first time the Sliver actress has spoken publicly about her health issues.
In her 2021 autobiography, The Beauty of Living Twice, benign tumors were removed from her body in 2001, which she described as “gigantic” and “bigger than my breast alone.”

She said that after the medical procedure, a plastic surgeon gave her larger breast implants, which she agreed to undergo in breast reconstruction surgery after the tumors were removed.
Stone also had a stroke and a brain hemorrhage in 2001 when she was 43 years old.
Appearing on the Today Show in March 2021, Stone shared details of the critical moments when she was hospitalized and a doctor told her she almost died.
“The room was so quiet,” Stone said. “When the room is so quiet and nobody is running around trying to fix you, that’s when you realize how close death is and how serious everything is.”

Stone would later recover, but she said the stroke impacted her career and the way others treated her.
“People have been brutally unkind to me,” she told Variety in 2019. Women and what it takes to recover – it took me about seven years.’
She added: “I had to reschedule my house. I lost everything I had. I lost my place in the business. I was like the hottest movie star you know? It was like Miss Princess Diana and I were so famous – and she died and I had a stroke. And we were forgotten.”
Earlier this year, Stone also revealed that he has lost nine children to miscarriages.
The actress – who is mom to three sons by adoption, Roan, 22, Laird, 17, and Quinn, 16, insists women are made to feel that losing a baby “is something you do alone and secretly endure with a certain feeling”. Fail’.
In an Instagram comment, she wrote: “We women do not have a forum to discuss the depth of this loss. I lost nine children to miscarriage. It’s no small thing, either physically or emotionally, but we feel like it’s something we alone and secretly have to endure with a certain sense of failure. Instead of receiving the much-needed compassion and empathy and healing that we so desperately need. Female health and well-being, left in the care of male ideology, have become careless at best, indeed ignorant, and violently repressive in their efforts.’
What are fibroids?
Fibroids are growths that develop in or around the uterus.
The growths, which are noncancerous 99 percent of the time, are made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and vary in size.
Many women don’t know they have fibroids because two out of three have no symptoms.
Those who show signs of fibroids may experience heavy or painful periods, abdominal pain, lower back pain, frequent urination, constipation, and pain or discomfort during sex.
In rare cases, complications can affect pregnancy or cause infertility.
It is believed that between 20 and 50 percent of women between the ages of 16 and 50 have fibroids.
And about three-quarters will develop fibroids at some point during those reproductive years.
But only a third are large enough for doctors to detect during a physical exam.
Doctors don’t know why fibroids develop. But they believe growth is related to the female reproductive hormone estrogen, levels of which are highest during the reproductive years.
They tend to shrink when estrogen levels are low, e.g. B. after the menopause, and are therefore not treated unless they cause symptoms.
Treatment includes drugs to relieve symptoms and shrink the growths, or surgery if they don’t work.
