Elizabeth Hurley Shares Top Tip for Perfect Bikini Photos: Lie Down

Elizabeth Hurley shared her top tip for taking bikini photos on Instagram. The 60-year-old actress posted a series of pictures of herself posing next to a swimming pool in a white bikini with thin black stripes. She wore sunglasses as an accessory.

"Being photographed in a bikini can be scary so here’s my number one tip: LIE DOWN!! Even in hideous overhead light, or with nasty hi-def camera phones (these were taken on a phone in direct sunlight) if you s-t-r-e-t-c-h out enough and wear sunglasses you’ll look fine. Thank me later," she wrote in the caption.

In the photos, Hurley displayed her toned abs and slim figure. She lay on her back with her upper body propped up on her elbows. In one shot, she tilted her head back so her hair touched the water.

Fans praised the post in the comments. "Thanks for the tip, Elizabeth, but you look great in every picture and in every pose. I love your beachwear, it's simply the best," one wrote.

"And she is in her sixties?? God bless THE Queen!" another said. A third added, "Can't believe Elizabeth ever has taken a bad photo wearing a bikini."

This marks the second time Hurley has offered bikini photo advice to followers. In July 2025, she said lighting makes all the difference. "BAN overhead sunlight," she captioned photos from a Maldives trip. "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."

Hurley last appeared publicly with her son Damian and boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus at the Olivier Awards in April. She presented on stage in a long-sleeve white gown with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit. Fabric gathered around the waist created soft ruching. Cyrus wore a black T-shirt, black blazer and dark pants.

"So proud of my beautiful girlfriend @elizabethhurley1 presenting last night @OlivierAwards. The evening reminded me why I love our industry — and gave me the perfect excuse to wear the best birthday presents ever from Elizabeth & Damian," Cyrus posted on Instagram with event photos.

The couple revealed their relationship on Easter Sunday in April 2025. They shared a photo of themselves leaning against a fence in a field, his arm around her.

"I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising. It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well," Hurley told Page Six in May 2025.

"We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country," she added. "And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely."
