Sharon Stone is trying to give 20-year-old women a run for their money. Stone, 47, who is set to recreate her infamous leg-crossing scene in the sequel to ‘Basic Instinct’ has proved that age has nothing to do with sex-appeal or success.

The blonde star reportedly didn’t wear any underwear for the original scene that sent pulses racing during the steamy police interrogation scene in the 1992 movie.

She has also recently been chosen as the new face of Christian Dior. Stone says, “I think it’s very bold and daring to hire me. But I believe that older women can be interesting and sexy and valuable.

Some of the most beautiful women in the world are over 40, and doesn’t everybody think that Judi Dench is the most amazing actress? “What does a 20-year-old have to say?” She was quoted as saying.

Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction hits cinemas on March 10th 2006. Earlier this month Stone allegedly opened a new Louis Vuitton store in Paris almost naked. According to onlookers, the actress turned up with nothing on but a jacket designed by the fashion giants.
