Elizabeth Hurley has once again captivated her global following by sharing a stunning bikini selfie alongside her "number one tip" for capturing the perfect summer photograph.

The 60-year-old actress and model took to Instagram to post a series of snaps featuring a white striped bikini, showcasing her timeless figure by a swimming pool.

Addressing the common anxieties associated with swimwear photography, Hurley penned a body-positive message encouraging fans to embrace a simple positioning trick to look their best.

"Being photographed in a bikini can be scary so here’s my number one tip: LIE DOWN!!" Hurley wrote to her followers. She explained that stretching out while lying down helps to mitigate the effects of "hideous overhead light" or high-definition camera phones.

The Austin Powers star added that even in direct sunlight, wearing sunglasses and lengthening the body ensures a flattering result. The post was met with a wave of appreciation from fans, who praised both her practical advice and her seemingly "frozen in time" appearance.

The update comes as Hurley continues to enjoy a high-profile romance with country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus. The couple famously took the world by surprise when they went public with their relationship on Easter Sunday in 2025.

According to recent reports, the pair reconnected in 2024 following the end of Cyrus's third marriage. Cyrus revealed that Hurley reached out to him during a difficult period, leading to a deep chemistry that has kept them together ever since.

Future projects for the star include continued expansions of her eponymous swimwear line.
