In a dazzling display of confidence and fitness, Tori Spelling, 50, took to Instagram to share a carousel of images that showcased her impressively toned abs. She donned a sheer crop top paired with low-hanging charcoal khaki pants that teasingly revealed her Calvin Klein underwear.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star’s post caption read, “work hard. play hard. repeat,” and was accompanied by specific hashtags and mentions of her glam squad, who helped bring her look to life. Tori’s appearance sparked a spectrum of reactions among her followers.

While some admirers showered her with praises, commenting, “You’re aging in reverse! What’s your secret?!? 😍” and “Have you been lifting weights? Your abs look great!”, others expressed their disapproval specifically regarding the visible underpants. “Everything is great except the underpants showing,” stated one user, while another asserted, “Love everything but the undies sticking out […] Looks bad.”

Amidst the varied feedback, one person wrote, “You know you’re 50, right?” highlighting the age-centric expectations often imposed by society. However, another fan came to Tori’s defense, saying, “Love your pants. No age limit [is] required. Where are they from?” In response, Tori disclosed, “@tillys,” which is an American apparel brand that makes clothes for women, men, and children.

When it comes to fitness and health, Tori’s wellness journey has been spoken about a number of times. In a revealing 2009 interview, the actress shared the nuanced challenges of bouncing back after her first two pregnancies with Liam and Stella McDermott—two of the five children she shares with her ex, Dean McDermott. She described the distinct approaches she took with each pregnancy and highlighted the societal pressures she faced.

“Fitness-wise, umm, it was different with both pregnancies […] I gained 40 pounds with each pregnancy, with Liam, I went on a diet regime, I went on an exercise regime and I did lose the weight […] I see all the actresses, like weeks after they have a baby and they look perfect so, I thought that’s what would happen and it didn’t,” explained Tori.

Juggling a busy work schedule and the desire to spend quality time with her kids rather than spend hours in a gym, Tori—with the support of her then-husband Dean—opted for lifestyle changes over strict regimes. This approach included biking—which she said was new for her—and cooking meals together as a family.

However, in her book “Spelling It Like It Is,” Tori Spelling provided a candid look into the reality behind her post-pregnancy weight loss, admitting to previously lying about the methods she used and revealing that she didn’t eat much and would nibble on rice cakes.
In a stark revelation, she confessed, “Women didn’t want to know that I had lost weight through dieting, not exercising. I didn’t want to be the […] who didn’t work for it. So I said that I swam. It was sort of a bad choice […] Stella, who had witnessed the mineral wraps, almost blew my cover. She was in the kitchen with the makeup and hair person from Us before I came in.”
This acknowledgment in her book comes as a juxtaposition against the interview she gave to Us Magazine in 2013, where she showcased her bikini body and discussed her weight loss journey. In this interview, she misleadingly claimed, “I feel like I took off the weight safely, and I’m totally happy here,” which showcased the complex pressures celebrities face to portray an idealized image of health and fitness.
Transitioning to her current fitness practices, Tori’s consistent effort to stay in shape is evident through her collaborations with wellness brands. For instance, she has previously shared how Flat Tummy Tea’s app has been a “game-changer” for her, allowing her to work out “anywhere, anytime with no gym or equipment required.”
Similarly, her partnership with Hydroxycut highlighted her dedication to her fitness goals for 2022, as she integrated the drink mix into her daily routine to stay on track.

Reflecting on Tori’s evolution from her post-pregnancy weight loss journey to her current fitness endeavors provides a multifaceted view of her commitment to health and well-being. From confronting societal expectations and embracing a more holistic approach to wellness after becoming a mother, to actively engaging with health and fitness brands, her story is one of perseverance, adaptation, and transparency.
Her candidness in sharing both the struggles and successes of her journey offers a valuable perspective on the complexities of navigating health and fitness in the public eye, underscoring the importance of authenticity and self-care in achieving personal wellness goals.
