Yes, That's a 16-Year-Old Ina Garten in This '60s Beach Throwback

Simply earlier than this previous Fourth of July vacation weekend, Garten shared a picture to Instagram that stood out from the opposite high-res pics she’s lately uploaded. Sandwiched between a lobster roll recipe and an American Flag cake reel, is a throwback picture.

Within the first picture, Garten, sporting a black polkadot swimsuit together with her brunette hair in a ’60s pouf—is gabbing with a good friend as they sit atop the sand. In her lap, a large quantity, notepad and pen. Multi-tasking on the seaside appears very Ina Garten.

The second pic reveals Garten and two associates hanging out on the rocky a part of the seaside, the ocean waves glistening behind them. Garten, younger and tan, is the epitome of summer time youth. However I wasn’t certain how previous Garten really was in these snaps till I did a little extra digging…

Seems, this is not the primary time this picture has hit Garten’s grid. The multi-hyphenate queen of the Hamptons initially posted this identical picture in September 2024 with a caption that provides a bit extra context to its topics:

“In researching my memoir Be Prepared When the Luck Occurs, I reconnected with some nice associates from highschool like Janet Sloatman Recordsdata (@janetsfiles ), which was a lot enjoyable after 60 years!!

I had a fairly tough life at dwelling so my associates had been like a lifeline for me. They had been good, artistic and so supportive. This is a image of Janet and me on a seaside in New Jersey the place her dad and mom had been vacationing. I had simply met Jeffrey so my guess is that I’m writing a letter to him!

Have a joyful and secure Labor Day weekend. ❤️❤️

My memoir is out on October 1st. You’ll be able to preorder it wherever books are offered or on the hyperlink in bio.”
