It feels like just yesterday Carys Douglas was a little girl holding hands with her parents, Hollywood icons Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. Now 22, the recent college graduate is the spitting image of her glamorous mother, and she’s turning heads with her latest social media post.
Carys recently gave followers a peek at her summer mountain escape, striking poses in a bikini that highlighted her natural beauty. On August 21st, Carys took to Instagram to show off her idyllic vacation setting. “Mountainside,” she captioned the post, capturing the striking backdrop of a sparkling lake and dramatic peaks.
Wearing a simple black bikini from Brazilian brand ORIXA, designed by a close friend, Carys radiated effortless style. In one photo, she shielded her eyes from the sun while sitting on the grass with the sweeping mountains behind her. In another, she closed her eyes and let the sunlight warm her face, arms resting loosely on her knees.
Though she didn’t initially reveal the location, Carys later confirmed in the comments that her dreamy photos were taken in Wyoming. Fans quickly flooded the post with praise, with one writing, “You can really see those Douglas and Zeta-Jones genes,” while another added, “Have the best time!”
Carys’ first summer after graduating
The youngest of Catherine and Michael’s two children, Carys, is enjoying her first summer after graduating from Brown University, part of the prestigious Ivy League. She earned her degree in Film and International Relations earlier this year.
In June, she proudly marked the milestone on Instagram, sharing a carousel of moments from her commencement ceremony in Rhode Island. Wearing a black cap and gown over a pleated white dress, Carys beamed with joy alongside her famous parents. One emotional shot showed her embracing Catherine in a teary hug.
She also posed with her father, who gifted her a striking bouquet of white orchids. Catherine couldn’t resist celebrating her daughter online, commenting, “I’m so proud of you. What an achievement. Congratulations, darling ❤️.”
Just before the big day, the Oscar-winning actress had posted, “The night before graduation! We are so proud to be your parents. This is only the beginning, @carys.douglas!”
