Grammy winner Toni Braxton looked incredible as she posed in her “birthday suit” to ring in her 56th year. The R&B songstress left very little to the imagination as she posed against a black panelled wall with nothing but a tiny silk robe to preserve her modesty.
“In my birthday suit…” the star teased on Instagram, showing off her bare shoulders and slender thighs, along with an expanse of bare tummy. Her charcoal grey robe slipped all the way down her back, just about covering her bum as Toni slipped her arms through the sleeves.
The only other item added to her ensemble was a pair of tiny pearl earrings glinting at her lobes as Toni threw a look over her shoulder at the camera lens. Her dark hair was worn in its trademark cropped style, while the star embraced a glam make-up look for her celebratory shoot.

She applied a dark grey smoky eye and a glossy nude lip, matching things up with a shiny black manicure and going barefoot for the saucy snap – showing her toenails were painted the same colour as her fingernails.

It comes after Toni confessed she is “lucky to be alive” after being rushed into emergency heart surgery late last year. Toni has battled the autoimmune disease lupus erythematosus and fell behind in her precautionary care regime, and sought treatment after experiencing chest pain.
Doctors discovered an 80% blockage in her left main coronary artery, and told Toni she needed a stent fitted to combat the condition. She told People magazine: “The doctors told me I could’ve had a massive heart attack, I would not have survived.”

Her surgery came shortly after the tragic passing of her sister Traci, and things were “touch and go” for a while in hospital. Toni said: “I look at it like it was a blessing in disguise for me because now, putting off tests? Oh no, I will not put off tests.
“If all I have to do for my lupus and my kidney health is pee in a cup, I can pee in a cup. How many times do you need me to pee? If all I gotta do is get my arm pricked for some blood? Oh yes, I can do that. How many vials do you need?”
