Elizabeth Hurley shares her time-tested secret to capturing flattering bikini photo
In a recent Instagram post, the 60-year-old "Austin Powers" actress posted a photo of herself in a string bikini, as she divulged what her "secret to flattering bikini pics" is.
"BAN overhead sunlight," she wrote in the caption. "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."
The photo featured Hurley in a tan string bikini as she looked off in the distance as she accessorized the Elizabeth Hurley Beach bikini with a gold chain.
Fans were quick to flood the comments section with compliments for the actress, with one writing "You always look amazing but good to know," and another adding, "Billy Ray is such a lucky man ❤."
Her son, Damian, also took to the comments section, leaving a series of heart emojis for his mom.
Hurley is no stranger to sharing swimsuit photos of herself on Instagram, having recently posted a picture of herself enjoying a sunny afternoon on a small boat while wearing a low-cut leopard-print swimsuit. In the photo, Hurley can be seen smiling for the camera as a rainbow shines in the sky above her.
"Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true," she wrote in the caption, referencing the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
"Thank you for sharing our song in such a sweet… beautiful… and truly wholesome way!!!! You are one of a kind young lady!!! Truly an original," her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, who recently released a cover of the iconic song with artists Micki Free and Buck 22, wrote in the comments section.
All proceeds of the single will benefit the National Museum of African American Music.
Cyrus and Hurley made their relationship public when they posted a photo of the two of them spending Easter Sunday together. In the photo, the two can be seen leaning on a fence, with Cyrus' arm wrapped around her as he's giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Since then, the two have spoken about their relationship a few times, with Hurley telling Page Six that while she understands people "found Billy and I being together a little surprising," she didn't, adding "we're actually quite similar and get on extremely well."
"We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We've got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely," she explained.

Woman Gets Indoor Slide for Grandkids, Shock Over Who Shows Up at Midnight
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A grandmother's thoughtful gift to her grandkids has served an unexpected function. A new indoor slide, meant to bring joy to her grandkids, found an unlikely, and much furrier, fan. In a viral Instagram reel, the grandmother captured a hilarious moment of her cat secretly using the slide in the middle of the night—a twist on what was intended to be a family toy. Since the reel was posted, it has received over 903,000 likes. "When you get a slide for your grandkids, but this is happening at midnight," the woman, @grandma_gin_, captioned the video, which shows a gray slide set up indoors. But instead of a giggling child, what comes down the slide is a cat, backwards, sliding helplessly towards the bottom. The cat's clumsy adventure quickly charmed viewers who recognized the mischievous nature of felines. Stock image: A young girl prepares to go down a slide. Stock image: A young girl prepares to go down a slide. ASphotowed/Getty Images The commenters were just as surprised as the video's creator. One user, who was expecting a very different kind of late-night hijinks, commented, "I was expecting a drunken adult to be falling down the slide not...[a cat]." "The look on the cat's face is great! They do not like you to see their mischief—unless they want something," one commenter wrote. Another person had a more innocent theory about the cat's predicament: "You could tell he accidentally got on the slide the way he must've been curious and then slid all the way down." One viewer even imagined the cat's inner thoughts: "She looked embarrassed like, 'Why do you laugh? God forbid a cat wants to have fun.'" Cats and Their Love for Slides As many pet owners know, cats are naturally curious creatures who are drawn to new and unusual objects in their environment. It seems that slides, in particular, hold a special fascination for them. A commenter noted this tendency, writing, "Cats looove slides. The strays in our old apartments used to play on the playground and the slide was a particular favorite!" "Did y'all see that [the cat] intentionally walked up there to slide back down?" another pointed out. "That's his slide, not your grandkids." A final, comical detail drove the absurdity home—the slide ended abruptly against a wall, leaving little room for little ones, or cats, to get off. "I love that it dead ends into the wall," one person wrote. "Building that next generation a little stronger than the last. Well done." Newsweek reached out to @grandma_gin_ for comment via Instagram.

Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal invites Kim Kardashian to 'dinner' wearing Skims face wrap
Anthony Hopkins had a salivating reaction to Kim Kardashian's new Skims face wraps. The Hollywood icon took to Instagram on Thursday, July 31, wearing a face wrap and invoking his character Dr. Hannibal Lecter from 1991's "The Silence of the Lambs" and 2001's "Hannibal." "Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger," Hopkins, 87, says in the video, making Hannibal's signature slurping hiss. "Goodbye!" Kardashian, 44, seemed to have sent the beloved actor official merch, as Hopkins captioned the post: "Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner." The reality TV star shared Hopkins' video on her Instagram stories, writing, "I'm screaming!" Online, people have roasted Skims' new seamless sculpt face wrap, which encases the head, chin and neck, leaving the ears and back of the head exposed. Some users have pointed out that models wearing the wrap resemble the cannibalistic serial killer played by Hopkins over three films, including 2002's "Red Dragon." A post shared by Anthony Hopkins (@anthonyhopkins) Kim Kardashian's Skims face wrap sparks jokes: 'What in the Hannibal' Skims recently unveiled the face wrap as a new addition to the clothing brand's shapewear line designed to offer jaw support and marketed as "infused with collagen yarn." The brand calls it a "must-have addition to your nightly routine." The wrap, made of polyamide and elastane, quickly sold out online, according to the Skims website. A post shared by SKIMS (@skims) The face wrap takes a page out of South Korean skincare trends and TikTok viral "morning shed" routines, both of which offer an elaborate take on skincare. Skims has long offered a unique take on sculpting garments, offering everything from the nipple bra to hip-enhancing padded shorts, to viral and often mixed reactions.

Anthony Hopkins reprises Hannibal Lecter while wearing Kim Kardashian's Skims on his head
Anthony Hopkins reprised his iconic " Silence of the Lambs" character, Hannibal Lecter, for an audience of one: Kim Kardashian. On Thursday, Hopkins posted a video on Instagram sporting the new face wrap from Skims, Kardashian's shapewear and clothing company. Since the release of Skims' Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap — made for 'targeted compression for shaping & sculpting' on the face, according to Skims' website — this week, social media users have been comparing the beige face wrap to the mask Hopkins wore as Hannibal Lecter in the classic horror movie. Hopkins had clearly seen the chatter and posted a video to Instagram while wearing the face wrap. 'Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger," Hopkins said in Lecter's eerie voice before reviving the character's iconic slurping sound. "Goodbye.' He paired the video with the caption, "Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner," in another reference to the cannibalistic character. Kardashian seemed to embrace Hopkins' poking fun at her, posting his video on her Instagram story on Thursday, writing "I'M SCREAMING!!!!!" Skims face shapewear wasn't the first time Kardashian's products caught the internet's attention. In 2023, the company released bras with built-in nipples that drew both criticism and praise.
