Elizabeth Hurley Finally Spills Her Bikini Photo Secrets at 60 — Including Her Number One Ban

Elizabeth Hurley is spilling her secrets.

The actress, 60, took to Instagram to reveal her top tips for nailing a bikini photo shoot. In a photo posted on Sunday, July 13, Hurley posed in front of a glass door wearing a tan string bikini with gold chain detailing. The star looks away from the camera, her hair falling behind her shoulders in a tousled style.

In the caption, she wrote, “The secret to flattering bikini pics? BAN overhead sunlight 🤣 When shooting bikinis, sunrise or sunset are your best friends 😉 “

Hurley continued, “We shot this at 7am… By 8am, I was lounging around in one of my equally flattering @elizabethhurleybeach kaftans, feeling glamorous AND shielded from the lethal sun ♥️”

The bikini Hurley wears in the post is also from her beachwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach.

The actress has never shied away from sharing bikini snaps. Earlier this month, she posted a photo of herself in another Elizabeth Hurley Beach look consisting of a red bikini top and leopard-print bottoms in celebration of International Bikini Day, which took place on July 5.

“Every day of my life is bikini day … but somehow I missed posting for official International Bikini Day!!!” she wrote in the caption.

She continued, “Here’s a pic from my hol in Greece to make up for it 💋,” and also noted that she was wearing her Elizabeth Hurley Beach swimwear line.

Hurley and Cyrus, 63, first sparked romance rumors in April when the country star posted a photo on Instagram of the duo kissing as they celebrated Easter together.

The couple made their red carpet debut in Rome on May 24 as they stepped out for a dinner celebrating the opening of the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition, staged by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti, at Palazzo Barberini.

Hurley stunned in a pink, figure-hugging gown featuring a plunging neckline and dramatic trailing sleeves, accessorizing with 1960s-inspired silver platform sandals and a pair of statement earrings. The actress wore her hair down and styled in soft waves.

Cyrus, meanwhile, opted for a pair of tight-fitting black pants with silver medallion embellishments along the leg and a black jacket with leather accents. He topped off his look with a western hat, sunglasses and boots.
