Kate Beckinsale's Hottest Shots For Her 52nd Birthday

Kate Beckinsale's celebrating another year around the sun ... so, pull an Adam Sandler and "Click" through all of her smoking hot snaps!

The actress and model turned 52 on Saturday ... and whether she's in a cocktail dress or some steamy lingerie, Beckinsale's proof that some stars simply age like fine wine.

Check out this pic where KB's showing off in a black bra and matching undies ... throwing on a huge bow to accessorize and flashing a sultry look at the camera.

Kate also loves to show off her ink ... like in this pic where she's wearing just a bikini -- and giving fans a look at the small tattoo on her shoulder.

Beckinsale's an animal-lover, too ... sharing the screen with her pomeranian, Myf -- though her swimsuit may have taken the attention from her pup.

We know Kate has no issue doing her own stunts ... and, it makes sense that she wouldn't want a body double when you take one look at her.
