Elizabeth Hurley celebrated turning the big 5-8 by rocking an itsy-bitsy string bikini.
The British model, actress and swimwear designer, who celebrated her birthday on June 10, took to Instagram and shared a photo of herself jumping for joy while at the beach.
The star wore a sapphire-hued two-piece, featuring a triangle top with silver sequins and matching side-tie bottoms. She completed the look with tousled waves and aviator shades.
“Happy Birthday to meeeee,” Hurley captioned the photo. In a separate post, she’s seen sporting a white bikini as she embraces her son Damian Hurley, a fellow model, during a picnic.
Her 2.6 million followers quickly flooded the comments section.
“Happy birthday La Divina! XXX” commented actor Richard E. Grant.
“What age? U don’t age!!!!” wrote one follower.
“Happy Birthday Queen!” chimed another.
“You look amazing,” wrote one user.
Hurley is known for going viral thanks to her sizzling snaps. Back in 2021, Hurley revealed her secrets to staying in shape.

“I haven’t eaten processed food for 100 years,” the star told U.K.’s Sunday Times. “I don’t eat sweets. I drink little alcohol. I don’t smoke, but I deeply regret that I once did. I have learned to eat lighter and not so late.”
“I think one of the most transformative things that I’ve done is making 50% of what I eat vegetable matter,” Hurley continued. “If you have a slice of toast for breakfast, have an apple too. Counteract everything with vegetables.”
But the star has one weakness – peanut butter.
“I have one spoon, then another, and I’ve emptied the jar before you know it,” Hurley admitted.
Hurley also enjoys an occasional piece of nicotine gum.
“I stopped smoking 10 years ago,” she said. “But I can’t give up the Nicorette.”
And when it comes to going under the knife, Hurley said she’s not a fan of excess plastic surgery.
“No! I don’t think it makes you look younger, I think it just makes you look like you’ve got filler,” she said. “It’s not my cup of tea.”

Hurley also noted that your mindset is just as important.
“I am more immature by the moment – my son is more mature than me,” she said. “I used to be grown up, but I’ve lost it.”
Hurley launched a London-based swimwear line named Elizabeth Hurley Beach in 2005.

“I decided to venture into beachwear not only because I’ve always been obsessed with vacation clothes, but also because it’s an area where women, regardless of shape or size, can either look amazing or really get it wrong. I wanted to develop resort collections, which make women feel fabulous at any age,” she announced on the company’s site.
Back in 2017, Hurley also told The Cut she tries to break a sweat as much as possible.
“I don’t do any regulated exercise, but I’m very active,” she told the outlet at the time. “On the weekends, I go for long hikes with my dogs. I try and stretch every day.”

“I do the occasional yoga or Pilates class, but mostly it’s just self-exercise at home,” she added. “I might do some stomach exercises or some bottom or arm exercises, but because I trained for a dancer when I was young, I sort of know all the exercises. I find it very hard for my schedule to regularly go anywhere else. It works very well for me.”
That same year, Hurley told Closer Weekly that being a mom inspired her to launch her swimwear brand. She previously took a break from Hollywood to focus on motherhood but found herself wanting to do something new professionally.
“Looking after my son became my number one task, and it was a joy to have someone else on whom to focus,” Hurley told the magazine. “I was 36 and had been worrying about myself for quite long enough. I stopped doing movies and TV for the first eight years of his life, and I don’t regret it for a moment. I always put him first.”

When it came to launching her swimwear collection, Hurley added, “It allowed me to be more flexible with my time and work when Damian was at school.”
Still, Hurley insisted she was eager to take on new challenges as her son grew older.
“I love my life,” she said. “I love change and I love new experiences.”
