I think it is a matter of personal choice.

Honestly, I truly believe this too. It's how you look in one, not your age. I've seen some 40 year old women look better than most 18 or 25 year old women. Heck, I look better than some 20 somethings I've seen out there. I can still wear a moderate style bikini (no, not string bikinis anymore), but I still look pretty darn good though.

I agree, its about how you feel about your body and age, more than your actual age.
If you are comfortable, go for it.

That Helen Miren looks good - but is rare that I see a 60 yr old look that good - heck - it is rare to see a 40 yr old look that good where I live -
I guess if you have the body for it - why not?
I was able to wear one for a brief time in my 20s - but then when you are 20 anything looks good on you - even if you are fat you have that beautiful bloom of youth that can never be replicated again - even with surgery....

Last time I checked, a bikini did not come with an age limit on it. If you've worked hard for a bikini body at 60....you've EARNED the right to show it off!

Default old and old fashioned here, I guess...

Frankly, I think bikinis are too revealing for a woman of any age to wear in public.

You're a grandma? No way. At least you don't look it.

I wouldn't want my grandma wearing a bikini! With that said if said granma looked like that actress then I guess who cares right!
Me, personally, I have never worn one and never will. I am just too shy.

Some great comments! When I was overweight, no way would I consider wearing a bikini--but nor would I wear a one piece BLACK swimsuit either--afraid of going to the beach and having people try to push me back into the water!
