At Nearly 60, Hurley Reveals Secrets Behind Viral Bikinis
Elizabeth Hurley is making waves again with her annual Maldives vacation, this time just weeks before her 60th birthday. The British actress and entrepreneur is showcasing her newest swimwear designs while sharing insights into maintaining her confidence and physique as she approaches this milestone birthday on June 10.
Hurley, whose beachside content consistently generates viral attention, posted a striking video of herself in a khaki bikini with distinctive gold chain detailing while wading through the crystal waters of the Maldives. “The most glorious sunset in the glorious Maldives,” she captioned the clip set to Billy Ray Cyrus’ “She’s Not Cryin’ Anymore,” according to Hello Magazine.
Following this, Hurley debuted what she’s dubbed the “Blaze” bikini – a vibrant red two-piece from her eponymous swimwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach. The actress posed on white sands at the Baglioni luxury resort, where she’s vacationing with her son Damian in accommodations starting at $999 per night, as reported by Daily Mail.

Philosophy of Authenticity
In contrast to many celebrities who retreat from swimwear modeling as they age, Hurley has made it a cornerstone of her personal brand. Her approach centers on authenticity rather than conforming to expectations about appropriate behavior at certain ages.
“I’m really all for everybody doing whatever makes them feel comfortable. I wouldn’t want anyone to do anything because they feel they ought to,” she told Yahoo! Life in 2022. “The most important messaging for all women is be aware of what makes you feel comfortable,” she added, emphasizing the importance of resisting pressure to follow trends that don’t align with personal values, as referenced by OutKick.
This philosophy has guided Hurley through nearly two decades in the swimwear business. Elizabeth Hurley Beach, founded in 2005, continues to thrive with its founder serving as both designer and model. “Find your own thing,” Hurley advised, a principle she has clearly embraced herself.

The Age Advantage
Perhaps most surprisingly, Hurley recently shared that she believes life improves with age. “It gets better in some ways,” she told the Daily Star last month. “I just feel that as you become more confident, you really know your friendships.”
She specifically cited her 30-year friendship with Sir Elton John, godfather to her son Damian, as an example of how time enriches relationships. “It’s so meaningful when you’ve been with people through their ups and their downs, they’ve been with you and it makes your life very rich,” Hurley explained.
This perspective on aging as an opportunity for deeper connection rather than a period of decline represents a refreshing counterpoint to youth-obsessed cultural narratives. Sir Elton and Hurley’s friendship has been particularly significant, with the legendary musician referring to her as his “daughter” during a speech at her 2007 wedding to businessman Arun Nayar.

The Mother-Son Bond
The Maldives getaway follows Hurley’s touching tribute to Damian for his 23rd birthday last week. She shared both a throwback photo from 2002, showing her holding baby Damian while wearing blue satin underwear, and a recent glamorous selfie of the pair.
“23 years of loving you @damianhurley1 ❤️ May you have the happiest of birthdays and know that you will always be my sunbeam,” she wrote in the caption.
Damian, who has followed his mother into modeling and filmmaking, has previously praised Elizabeth for filling the role of “800 parents at the same time.” Their unusually close relationship—which Damian has described as making them feel like “siblings”—has been a constant in both their lives since Elizabeth conceived him during a brief relationship with the late Steve Bing shortly after her split from Hugh Grant in 2000.

Fan Reactions
Hurley’s Maldives content has generated enthusiastic responses from fans amazed by her age-defying appearance. “Has anyone checked her for vampire genes???” one follower commented, while another simply wrote, “Forever 21.” Others referred to her as the “Pride of Herefordshire,” acknowledging her connection to the UK county where her £6 million mansion is located.
The actress’s ability to maintain her physique and confidence approaching 60 has made her something of a cultural phenomenon. While she doesn’t explicitly share her fitness regimen, Hurley has previously credited an active lifestyle, careful diet, and avoiding excessive sun exposure for her youthful appearance.
As Hurley continues to defy conventional expectations about aging in the entertainment industry, her annual Maldives photoshoots have become more than just promotional content—they represent a statement about redefining beauty standards across generations. With her 60th birthday approaching in June, all signs indicate she plans to continue challenging those expectations for years to come.
