Actress Elizabeth Hurley stole the limelight on Saturday as she stepped out to attend the 28th SPA Awards in Germany.
For the glittering occasion, the actress donned a shimmering silver gown crafted from a sea of sequins. Her disco-inspired frock featured a plunging neckline, a body-gliding column skirt and a cascading knotted detail running down the front.
Ramping up the sparkle, Elizabeth, 59, wore a pair of statement chandelier earrings and a gem-encrusted twisted bangle. She wore her flowing brunette locks in bombshell waves and highlighted her radiant features with vampy black eyeliner and a slick of glossy lipstick.
The Austin Powers star was joined at the star-studded event by her lookalike son, Damian, who looked stylish dressed in a pair of funky leather trousers, a lace-trimmed black shirt and a statement blazer emblazoned with botanical motifs.
During the event, which took place at the Steigenberger Icon Grand Hotel & Spa Petersberg, the famous mother-son duo posed for an array of snapshots on the red carpet.
Amongst the pictures, Damian, 23, could be seen towering over his mother with a megawatt smile etched across his face.
Elizabeth and Damian’s unbreakable bond
The pair share a deep bond which Elizabeth attributes to the fact that she’s been “a single mother of a single child.” She raised Damian alone after his biological father, the late American businessman Steve Bing, with whom she had a relationship, denied paternity. It was later proved by a DNA test.
Steve, who was also the founder of Shangri-La Entertainment and perhaps best known for investing in films including The Polar Express and Beowulf, dated Elizabeth in 2001, and Damian was born soon after in 2002.
In a 2024 interview with HELLO!, the TV star said: “We have completely separate lives in some ways, and there are, of course, private areas, but we’ve become a very strong team.
“For some things, we’re each other’s confidants; for other things, we’re each other’s best friends, the person the other one most wants to tell things to.”
Damian added: “We have a twin-like telepathy, and I think that serves us very well. But the moment there’s a clash, it’s like you’re arguing with yourself.”
“If we’re fighting, we’ll suddenly interrupt ourselves mid-sentence and go: ‘Oh my God, I forgot to tell you.'”
The pair recently worked together on Damian’s directorial debut, Strictly Confidential. Of directing his famous mum, Damian previously told Vogue: “We work insanely well together.”
In conversation with Pop Culturalist, Elizabeth shared: “I found it very liberating having someone that I trusted behind the camera, someone who I could trust on set, someone who I could trust in the edit, and someone who I could trust in post-production.”
