And the benefits this can bring to your relationship and sex life.
“I would like to see more women proudly show their naked bodies to their partners,” says the 36-year-old, who has more than 15,000 followers on Instagram (@iamellemace).
“You don’t have to post a photo for the world to see – but show yourself as the trophy that you are, to be won by your lucky loved one or significant other.
“I know how important it is for you which skin you are in – my body has had a hard time with pregnancies and deliveries.
“I have felt insecure in the past, but now I think my body is at the highest level.
‘You’re not shallow or smug if you enjoy taking sexy photos or admiring your body.
“Like Zeta-Jones, we should all be naked.
“Whether you pose over a bathroom sink is up to you.
“Personally, I think I would find it a bit cold.”
Elle also points out that it’s especially great to see an older woman proudly showing off her body.
She said: “Zeta-Jones is a respected influencer.
‘She is an older woman who shows older people that it is liberating to take off your clothes.
“Society has told us that growing older is bad – but growing older is not negative, it is natural.
“Don’t fight it, own it.”
Elle also shares some tips for becoming more confident in your own body, but also for being naked with your partner.
“How would you like to see me?”
Elle said: “Be brave – ask your partner: what does he like?
‘In what physical way do they want to admire you?
“Being naked in front of someone else can be incredibly beneficial for both of you.
“It takes a certain level of trust, especially when it’s beyond the comfort of the bed.”

MEN MUST PARTICIPATE
Elle said: “People often think nudity is about women putting on a show for men.
“But it’s not just women who should do this – husbands and boyfriends should show off their bodies too.”
TAKE BABY STEPS
Elle said: “First show off a body part you like or take baby steps by removing a layer or two.
“For example, you could stand naked with just your top off so it’s not all immediately ‘out there’.
‘Or wear underwear, then go topless and then drop your panties.
“Similarly, men could start with a T-shirt and boxer shorts.”
KEEP IT CASUAL

Elle said: “Instead of making nudity a big reveal, start incorporating it into your daily life.
Practice walking naked from the shower into another room.
Or maybe incorporate some nudity into your wardrobe, by swapping long-sleeved tops for tank tops or something similar.
“Get used to showing off your skin in the comfort of your own home.”
DO A NAKED ACTIVITY
Elle said: “For some people, just going to the beach in a bikini is a big deal – for others the goal may be to go to a nudist beach or other nudist spot.
“Work at your own pace.
“As for couples, they can play games together, like strip poker or maybe just do exercises, like looking at each other, then hugging and kissing.
“Or maybe you tease each other by sending some sexy photos back and forth.
“If you dare, do a nude or boudoir photo shoot alone or together, at home or with a professional photographer.
“Couples who have been together for a while and want to get back into it may benefit from starting with foreplay.
“This takes away the pressure of having sex.
“It’s also worth setting aside a specific time for this kind of closeness so it doesn’t feel rushed.”
