Gabrielle Union has something to celebrate.
The actress, who turned 53 on Wednesday, Oct. 29, rang in the milestone with a thirst trap video shared to Instagram.
In the clip, Union is seated in a chair sans makeup, wearing a leopard-print robe and eye patches as she lights a birthday candle. She leans forward to blow it out, and then the video then cuts to the star sitting in the same spot but wearing an elegant black dress with her hair and makeup done.
"blew out a candle, kept the fire. 🔥 #53," Union captioned the post.
Fans were quick to hype up the star in the comment section.
"Sooooo freaking GORGEOUS!" one wrote.
"53 where?! The finest 53-year-old to ever do it 😍🔥 Happy Birthday, Queen! 👑💋," said another.
A third wrote, "You mean 35!!!! Happy Birthday beautiful ❤️🎉"

Earlier this month, the actress spoke to PEOPLE about her 53rd birthday plans.
In an exclusive interview at the Peabody Trailblazer Award ceremony honoring Questlove on Friday, Oct. 10, the actress revealed she'll be in Italy filming a project on her birthday.
"Hopefully my husband takes me out on the town," Union says of her partner — retired NBA star Dwyane Wade, 43 — who will be in Italy with her.
The entrepreneur added that it will be "iconic" to celebrate her birthday with "a couple of cocktails" in "such a romantic, beautiful and fun city."
Asked how it feels to "still be that girl," the Bring It On and Love & Basketball star reflected on giving herself "grace."

Union continues, "And my grandmother lived to be 110 years old, so I got a good 60-plus years to continue to make myself proud."
While speaking to PEOPLE, Union also shared her go-to workout routine.
"I've gone to three Pilates [classes] this week — I feel ready for a triathlon," she said.
"I swear by Pilates, lightweight training, dance parties with Robin [Thede] and the rest of our friends," Union explained.
"But yeah, and then everything in moderation," she added.
