At 60, actress and model Elizabeth Hurley continues to turn heads—and this time, she's sharing a simple strategy for getting the most flattering bikini photos: avoid harsh sunlight and shoot at sunrise or sunset.
In a recent Instagram post, Hurley appeared in a glowing gold bikini from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach line and offered followers a rare behind-the-scenes look into her photo routine.
The secret to flattering bikini pics? BAN overhead sunlight 🤣
She later expanded on her tip:
When shooting bikinis, sunrise or sunset are your best friends 😉 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 ♥️
Her advice comes at a time when many celebrities rely on filters and heavy editing. Instead, Hurley leans on natural light and practical skincare. She's long been praised for her glowing skin and fitness at 60—attributes she credits to a disciplined routine and sun protection, not just good genetics.
In the viral photo, Hurley poses beachside, bathed in soft morning light, wearing a gold chain bikini from her namesake collection. The image went viral, with fans praising her look and thanking her for the honest tip.
Hurley's posts are more than just bikini photos—they reflect a wellness-first beauty strategy. Early sunlight is softer on the skin and ideal for photography, she says, helping reduce the risk of UV damage and eliminating the need for heavy filters or artificial lighting.
Known for her roles in Austin Powers and Bedazzled, and her advocacy with the Breast Cancer Campaign, Hurley remains a timeless style icon—and an inspiration to those embracing beauty at every age.
