Elizabeth Hurley is our bikini inspiration every summer, and her latest oceanside photoshoot proves it.
The 61-year-old showcased her toned and tanned figure as she stepped off the side of a boat into the glistening water, wearing a tiny white bikini. Elizabeth was beaming with a pair of stylish oversized sunglasses in the sun-soaked holiday snap shared on Instagram on Sunday.
Her halter-neck bikini top and bottoms were held together with gold chain links for a luxurious finish. In other photos from her holiday, Elizabeth stunned in a leopard print bikini and a collection of flattering maxi dresses, including a strapless pink one with a split down the middle and a form-fitting white dress with a plunging neckline.
"Paradise [red heart emoji]. Thank you to the most wonderful hosts, my darling friends K & A, who have been having me to stay every summer for the last 27 years… I love you," she captioned the holiday album.

A scroll through The Royals star's Instagram reveals the actress has truly nailed the art of the perfect bikini photo. Elizabeth is often posting spectacular photos of her in a range of bright and patterned bikinis, and once revealed the behind-the-scenes secret to her flattering social media pictures.
"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," she wrote on Instagram in May.
"If you stretch out enough and wear sunglasses you’ll look fine [pink heart emoji]. Thank me later [wink face]."

Elizabeth previously revealed to HELLO! her go-to outfit to feel great in, telling us: "My whole life I’ve been happiest in jeans and a T shirt but this summer has been so hot that I’ve spent most days in a bikini. Luckily, I have a warehouse full of them."
The actress has her own luxury swimwear brand, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, which she launched in 2005.
"Elizabeth Hurley Beach makes me very happy," she told HELLO! last year, which marked 20 years of the company. "I know all my employees by name, design every piece myself and answer to no one. I keep it small and manageable and genuinely still enjoy doing it.
"We’ve just started working on a very exciting crochet collection, for women who don’t want to show off lots of skin but still want to feel sexy on the beach. Watch this space…"
