Hollywood favorite Queen Latifah seemed to not have a care in the world as she took a dip in the ocean off the coast of Florida this weekend.
The 53-year-old movie star wore a very low-cut black one-piece swimsuit as she added black-and-white shorts from SHAN for a fashionable day-at the-beach look.
The rap singer had her hair back as she was bedecked in shiny gold jewelry that added an element of glamour. She also had on a large metal sports watch with a royal blue face.
The former stand-up comedienne looked to be having a blast as she smiled and laughed while walking up the sandy beach after taking a dip in the ocean.
The Last Holiday star was brave to walk into the ocean after weeks of chilly weather in Florida.

Temperatures have hovered in the low 65 degrees at night but it warms up during the day.
The movie and TV star also had on a white wrist band that may have been from the resort she was staying in. On the other hand was a large tattoo.
This comes after the Beauty Shop actress was seen in Washington DC. Queen was honored at the Kennedy Center.

Eboni is a professional dancer and choreographer who has toured with some of the biggest names in music including Beyoncé, Rihanna and Usher.
She graduated from Chapman University in Southern California with a degree in Theatre and Dance.
Eboni also spent some time dancing as a Laker Girl for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball time.
Latifah and Eboni met in 2009 while the Just Wright star was on Dancing With the Stars.
The couple are famously private. So much so that the All Hail the Queen rapper didn’t even mention Eboni publicly until eight years into their relationship.
Latifah publicly acknowledged her partner Eboni and son Rebel for the first time during her acceptance speech for the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2021 BET Awards.
She closed her speech with a ‘Happy Pride’ message before saying, ‘Eboni, my love; Rebel, my love’ while placing her hand on her heart.

Latifah has kept her private life out of the spotlight for her entire career.
In 2008, she told the New York Times: ‘I don’t have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life.
‘You don’t get that part of me. Sorry.
‘We’re not discussing it in our meetings, I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life, and I don’t care if people think I’m gay or not,’ she continued.
‘Assume whatever you want. You do it anyway.’
Later the silver screen veteran was seen with a jacket that matched her shorts and was stamped SHAN
Latifah was also seen holding on to her white flip flops
In July, Latifah hailed her pal Jamie Foxx as ‘one of the nicest people that you’ve ever met’.
The rapper has heaped praise on Jamie, 55, explaining that he’s had a huge impact on the music and movie industries over the years.
She told Entertainment Tonight: ‘He is secretly behind so many people’s success in music, in Hollywood.
‘Jamie is a unicorn, and if you aired a whole show on him you’d be surprised how many people had been put on because they came by Jamie’s house and they invited him over to play piano or make some beats or make some music.’
The chart-topping star also explained that Jamie has remained humble, in spite of his fame and success.
She said: ‘I hear so many kind stories about people who tour with him and how he treated them so respectfully and made sure they were all taken care of.’

In April, Jamie’s daughter Corinne announced that her dad was suffering from a medical complication.
In a statement written on behalf of her family, Corinne explained: ‘We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday.
‘Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.’
Jamie entered a physical rehabilitation facility in Chicago after being released from hospital and is now said to be making a good recovery.
Earlier this month he gave a speech at an event in LA where he said his medical issue was a ‘near-death experience.’
