Elizabeth Hurley, 61, turns heads in tiny string bikini as she showcases enviable figure

Elizabeth Hurley proved that age is just a number when she shared a snap of her soaking up the sun in a striped blue and white bikini on Monday. The 61-year-old looked incredible in the string bikini as she stood on the deck of a boat and waved her hands in the air in excitement.

“Bye bye to the best summer ever…New chapter about to begin,” she wrote in the caption, as fans rushed to the comment section to exclaim over her svelte beach body.

“Body of a 21-year-old, ageless and classy! So much respect,” wrote one fan, while another added: “61 years old and she still looks 32. She is a GODDESS!” 

A third chimed in: “Thank you for making 60+ look fabulous!” while her son, Damian Hurley, simply said: “I mean…”

Elizabeth famously avoids working out at the gym, and instead leads an active lifestyle to maintain her incredible figure. “I can’t remember when I last went to a gym,” she told The Times.

“I don’t like that sort of exercise. But when I’m in the country, I’m very active outside, plus I spend my life running up the stairs carrying things. Cleaning the skirting boards, you can burn a lot of calories. There are things we can do that aren’t yawn, yawn, going to the gym.”

Elizabeth’s food mantra

As for her diet, the mother of one explained her food “mantra” to fans on social media in 2024. “My mantra is: don’t eat too much, too fast, too often or too late,” she began.

“Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier. This works for me. I don’t drink weird green juices or shakes and only take supplements if a blood test tells me I’m lacking something. I try to have vegetables or fruit equal to half of every plate I eat.”

Elizabeth added that she occasionally treats herself to “junk food” and bakes bread and cakes all the time.

Loved-up couple

The pair went public with their relationship in April of the same year, and enjoy spending time together away from the public eye.  

“We’re very happy together. We’re really enjoying trying to get this balance between America and the UK. He’s always been based in America – Tennessee, for the last 35 years or something,” she told E! News.

“But the good thing is that he’s very country where he is in Tennessee. I’m very country where I am. And that’s a really important thing in our relationship that neither of us wants to be out and about.”

“Nobody would look at either of us and think that’s who we were, but we are,” she continued. “And I love it. I love gardening. He loves being outside in nature. We both love watching birds of prey. It’s a really lovely life.”
