Why Liz Hurley reigns supreme at 60 – from building a £50m business empire to her hilarious quip about Billy Ray romance
It started with a dress held together with safety pins. And three decades on, as she prepares to turn 60, Liz Hurley is still front-page news — and still redefining beauty rules for women. 18 18 On Tuesday, flanked by her latest love, Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, and her beloved lookalike son, Damian, 23, she will no doubt be blowing out her candles wearing a fabulous skimpy bikini – from her own multimillion pound Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection, of course. Decades before the It girls, influencers and YouTube fashionistas, there was Liz – the OG posh girl pin-up. 'I promise I didn't mean to steal the show' A woman responsible for white jeans, plunging necklines, leopard-print knickers, Jilly-Cooper -style high-octane romances, jet-set friends and an ability to pick herself up by her crystal-encrusted slingbacks and glide through any scandal with the grace of a swan. A woman who is never stuck for words and who, when asked on the red carpet what on earth she had in common with three-times-divorced Billy Ray (father of Miley Cyrus), quipped: 'Well, isn't it obvious? We have the same hair.' She originally met the country star on the set of the 2021 movie Christmas In Paradise, and Billy Ray – who is flying into the UK for her birthday celebrations – has described her as 'a great human being' who just makes him laugh. The OG posh girl pin-up As unlikely romances go, it's certainly compelling. Liz – or Elizabeth as she insists on being called today – and I go back a long way, before that Versace dress that catapulted her into global sex symbol status overnight, before the high-profile romances and break-ups or the paternity scandal surrounding Damian (more on these later). When I first met her at the 1988 launch of BBC drama Christabel – in which she was playing the title role – she was a little-known actress, who'd previously appeared in detective series Inspector Morse. The former dancer from a middle-class army family in Hampshire, Liz – sorry Elizabeth (she was a lot less grand back then) – was ambitious, smart, beautiful and a lot of fun, with a fruity sense of humour and an equally good-looking, up-and-coming actor boyfriend called Hugh Grant, who she'd met on the set of a Spanish movie the previous year. Elizabeth Hurley shares loved-up new video with Billy Ray Cyrus hinting at MARRIAGE after revealing secret romance In order to make it as an actress, she'd transformed from a rebel punk with a nose ring and pink, spiky hair into a classic English rose, all fresh-faced, dewy-skinned and with those sleek brunette locks. 'It's all about luck, timing, right place, right time, right look and a really great part to get that breakthrough,' the then 23 year old told me over several glasses of warm white wine. She wasn't totally wrong. Six years later, at the London premiere of Four Weddings And A Funeral in 1994, it was that low-cut, thigh-split, floor-length black dress that got everyone talking. She didn't even have a minor role in the movie, and was only there as a plus-one to Hugh. It's all about luck, timing, right place, right time, right look and a really great part to get that breakthrough Liz Hurley As blinding cameras flashed wherever she moved at the film's after-party in London's In & Out club, she laughed: 'I promise I didn't mean to steal the show!' But she did. Overnight, Liz Hurley became as big a star as her boyfriend, and certainly it's still the one thing everyone remembers about that night. Just shy of her 30th birthday, after a decade trying to make it as a serious actress, Liz got her chance to become a global star – and there was no way she was going to let it slip through her elegantly manicured fingers. 'What sets Liz apart is not actually her beauty but her brains,' says a friend who worked with her when she and Hugh set up the film company Simian Productions in 1994. 18 'She's smart. That Versace dress was her light-bulb moment. She immediately saw how she could make a great future for herself. It wasn't about her acting. It was about her. She was the brand, the product, the look. The English rose dripping with sex appeal. Or 'the Posh Totty' as her friends would joke. She never took herself too seriously, but she did realise she had something way beyond being an actress. 'Liz totally understands that beauty, style and fashion are so much more than how you look and what you wear. If you meet her at a party, she can talk about everything from the Kardashians to Sigmund Freud. Her taste in men is equally eclectic – she doesn't have a type, so her choices are always unexpected.' In her six decades, she's built an empire and is now worth over £50million. Eclectic taste in men As well as breaking Hollywood in iconic roles in Austin Powers, Gossip Girl and The Royals, she has a hugely successful bikini business (she is the flagship model) and has been the face and global ambassador for Estée Lauder for more than 30 years. She returns to our screens later this year on Channel 4's reality show The Inheritance, alongside Rob Rinder. Meanwhile, home is a £6million Georgian house in Herefordshire, where she lives with Damian and her black Labradors. There you'll find a beautifully kept English country garden (she is a keen gardener with a vast array of her own secateurs, shovels, hoes and pruning equipment), which is said to be one of the settings for her big 60th birthday celebrations. Figure defies gravity Best friends with Elton John and the Beckhams, she is godmother to Brooklyn and Romeo, plus Elton's sons Zachary and Elijah, as well as her close friend Patsy Kensit's son with Liam Gallagher, Lennon. Entering her seventh decade, she still looks insanely fabulous, with those glossy highlighted locks, the same dewy skin, expertly plucked brows and fresh, minimal make-up. Last year, she was voted by men's magazine Maxim as the World's Sexiest Woman – beating off women half her age including Sabrina Carpenter, as well as Margot Robbie, Jennifer Aniston, and Beyoncé – and celebrated her 59th birthday by showing off her perfect body in a bright-blue skimpy bikini. Her figure defies gravity – not that she'd ever admit to hours sweating in a gym. Three years after the birth of Damian, she told me during an interview that the best thing about motherhood was nibbling on kids' party foods. World's sexiest woman 'I've discovered a passion for pink fondant fancies and those chocolate mini rolls – oh, and egg mayonnaise sandwiches with the crusts cut off.' I had to laugh. Not that I'm cynical, but Mr Kipling just doesn't make exceedingly good bodies like that. But as much as Liz Hurley has redefined a carefully curated beauty look – think English aristocrat meets sexy Hollywood glamour – her life has not been without scandal, humiliation, disappointment and grief. The real measure of Liz's everlasting appeal is the grit and grace she has shown in the face of a series of highly public messy affairs, which have threatened to destroy her image. In fact, it was this that brought her and Billy Ray together. In April, he revealed Liz had reached out to him after his marriage to fellow singer Firerose (AKA Johanna Hodges) collapsed last year, amid tabloid reports of an ongoing feud with his daughter, and a disastrous performance of epic proportions at Donald Trump's inaugural ball. 'Hugh was always there for her. Their bond is truly remarkable' On The Ty Bentli Show in April, Billy Ray said: 'I felt like: 'Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?' For me, at a certain point, it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you.' And at this moment, a friend reached out to say: 'I'm in your corner.'' There are few people who understand how hard it is to go through a public disgrace more than Liz Hurley. In 1995, a year after her triumphant breakthrough, her 'perfect relationship' with Hugh was destroyed after he was arrested following an incident with sex worker Divine Brown in Los Angeles. Giving the outward appearance she was unshaken by the scandal, which dominated the tabloids, Liz stood firmly by her partner's side, explaining afterwards on an American news show that that although she felt 'like I had been shot' when she heard the news, 'you don't kick someone when they're down.' Their relationship lasted for five more years before ending in 2000 after 13 years together. She still refers to Hugh as her 'closest friend', and their strong bond has baffled many and infuriated some. It was Hugh who stepped up after her brief relationship with multimillionaire Steve Bing in 2001 hit the skids. The businessman refused to acknowledge that Liz was pregnant with his child, until a DNA test proved it shortly after Damian's birth in 2002. Their acrimonious court battle and his initial refusal to be involved in his son's life was intensely difficult for Liz, and Hugh's advice and support according to friends was 'everything to her'. At the time, she had begun dating her future husband, Indian businessman Arun Nayar – who she would marry in 2007 – but, says one friend: 'Hugh knew exactly what it was like to be dragged through the mud in public. Liz had been by his side throughout the worst months of his life and he just knew what to say, what to do, and how to be there for her. 'She was pregnant, desperately sad that Steve was refusing to acknowledge the baby she was carrying – but there was Hugh, always there for her. Their bond is truly remarkable.' Hugh – along with Elton John, his partner, David Furnish, actor Denis Leary, multimillionaire Teddy Forstmann and aristocrat Henry Dent-Brocklehurst – is Damian's godfather ('Godfather Number One,' as friends describe him). He was there to lend support again when, in June 2020, Damian's estranged father jumped from the 27th floor of his luxury Los Angeles building and fell to his death. In the traumatic weeks that followed, Liz, as she had always done, showed grace under fire. Despite the conflict over Damian's parentage and the fact Bing did not include him in his will, she revealed that he had in fact sent a text to Damian on his 18th birthday and left a note for him before he took his life. 'Damian adores her, and she can't go a day without talking to him' She put up pics of her ex on Instagram, and told her 3 million followers that he was a 'sweet, kind man' and 'our time together was very happy'. Liz has never been one to dish the dirt – when her four-year marriage to Arun came to an end in 2011 and she began divorce proceedings citing his 'unreasonable behaviour', she never once hinted what that behaviour was. Three months after her divorce, she began dating Australian cricketer Shane Warne, and within the year they were engaged. Again, it seemed an unlikely match: the classic English beauty Liz with the hard-drinking, partying, bad boy. After two years, the relationship – which he described as 'the happiest of his life' – came to an end. 18 They remained close friends and when he died suddenly of a heart attack in Thailand in 2022, she spoke of her deep grief at his loss. In an interview last year, she said: 'It was appalling losing Shane, it was a terrible thing. And it's a sadness, you know, that stays with you a long time.' Elizabeth also acknowledged the impact on her son. 'I know as we get older we're going to experience more and more loss, but Damian as a young man has experienced probably more than most.' In tabloid terms, it may be Liz's latest romance that keeps her in the news, but those closest to her know that there is really only one man who will forever remain in her heart – her beloved film-producer son Damian. 'They are a unit,' says her friend. 'He adores her, she is his muse and she can't go a day without talking to him. They collaborate on everything, including her modelling shots for her bikini business. She has appeared in his films, they laugh together, cook together, go out together. He is completely her world. 'Her greatest sadness was he didn't get to have a father, which is why he has six godfathers, and Liz has always made sure that any man in her life knows he comes first. On her 60th birthday, of everything she has done, Damian remains her greatest achievement.' Like that dress fastened only with golden safety pins, Elizabeth Hurley has tenaciously held her world and her family together in the face of circumstances which could have floored a lesser mortal. At 60, she has emerged as a true woman of substance. Happy birthday, Elizabeth. The Ex Factor She may be loved-up with Billy Ray Cyrus, but there's been no end of drama when it comes to Liz's love life. Hugh Grant 18 The pair met when he was 27 and she was 22 on the set of 1987 movie Rowing With The Wind. They have remained firm friends ever since. Steve Bing 18 Liz dated The Polar Express producer for 18 months on and off in the early 2000s, before giving birth to their son Damian. Steve Nash The Canadian basketball player dated Liz briefly in 2001. At the time, a representative for Steve described the duo as having 'just vibed'. Arun Nayar 18 The actress and the Indian heir had not one but two wedding ceremonies in 2007. Three years later, Liz announced their divorce. Shane Warne 18 Liz and the Australian cricketer got engaged in 2011, but split in December 2013. After his death, she called him her 'beloved lionheart'. Justin Theroux Paparazzi pics with the actor sparked rumours of a relationship. However, Liz denied any romance between them. She's forever in fashion Ever since that Versace dress, Liz has barely put a foot wrong when it comes to her style choices Put a pin in it 18 It was the Versace gold safety-pin dress that catapulted the relatively unknown Liz into the limelight in 1994. Her gravity-defying outfit, which cost £3,000 at the time was, she said: 'The first incredibly expensive dress I'd ever put on in my life.' Pretty in pink Liz dazzled again in this hot-pink, sequin, maxi-dress she wore to the 1995 César Awards in Paris. Pared-back make-up and coiffed hair completed the look. Mellow yellow This vibrant yellow Versace blazer and matching skirt marked a very different look for Liz as she was unveiled as the new face of Estée Lauder in a £2million deal in March 1995 – a role she still holds 30 years on. Animal magic 18 All eyes were on Elizabeth when she flashed her leopard print knickers while wearing a red Versace dress with a thigh-high split to the wedding of millionaire film producer Henry Dent-Brocklehurst and model Lilikoi Maltese in 1998. All white on the night 18 Attending the Rocketman premiere in London in May 2019, the actress showed she was out of this world as she posed in a sequined white Versace suit paired with silver heels. Her marble-effect clutch bag added a pop of colour. Barely there 18 Stepping out at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, Elizabeth showed off her incredible figure in a Celia Kritharioti form-fitting optical illusion gown that was covered in crystals and made it look like she wasn't wearing a dress at all. Beach babe The actress showed off her enviable figure in a skimpy red two-piece from her hugely successful Elizabeth Hurley Beach in a collection of shots taken in Baglioni, in the Maldives, last month. If we looked this good in a bikini at almost 60, we would too!

Elizabeth Hurley, 59, flaunts her incredible physique in a red bikini during Maldives getaway amid shock new romance with Billy Ray Cyrus
Elizabeth Hurley looked nothing short of sensational as she shared a series of beach snaps from the Maldives, amid her blossoming romance with Billy Ray Cyrus. The actress, 59, took to Instagram on Friday to share a gallery of snaps from her recent trip, with one showing her frolicking on the beach at sunset. She showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy red two-piece, featuring a triangle top and matching bottoms, from her swimwear range Elizabeth Hurley Beach. Later, the beauty slipped into a stunning pink backless maxi dress, striking a pose with her back to the camera. She completed the look with oversized black sunglasses and a chic beige handbag. Wrapping up her vacation photo dump, Elizabeth shared a snap of her luxurious hotel villa and a plate of delicious-looking food. She captioned the snaps: 'Well…it's been a helluva few weeks since my glorious sojourn in the Maldives, but here are some of my happy memories.' Elizabeth shocked fans in recent weeks when her romance with country music star Billy Ray, 63, which she made public with a cosy Instagram post. She has since revealed the true depth of her feelings for new boyfriend Billy, sharing a very loved-up snap of them packing on the PDA to Instagram on Wednesday. And the model revealed it's true love as she took to the comments sharing a black heart emoji before writing 'you xx'. And Elizabeth has the full support of her son as Damian also commented on the snap as he penned: 'Awwww ❤️.' Their unexpected romance comes just over two years after the pair fatefully met on the set of their 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise, which was shot in the Caribbean. Last week, Billy Ray broke his silence over his new relationship while appearing on Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show. The Achy Breaky Heart crooner, who finalized his divorce from ex Firerose in August 2024, revealed Elizabeth reached out during a difficult period in his life. 'I felt like, ''Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?'' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you,' he said. 'And in this moment... a friend reached out.' According to Billy, Elizabeth's message read something along the lines of: ''Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner; you've got a friend in your corner''.' Upon getting her text, the father-of-five admitted he 'didn't even know the number'. He shared: 'So, I text back, I go, ''Who is this?'' And it's like, ''Elizabeth Hurley.'' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh.' Although they hadn't spoken in 'two years' after wrapping their holiday film, Billy instantly remembered 'there was a chemistry' between them on set during their 'very few scenes together'. 'We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot,' he noted. 'The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.' Christmas in Paradise was shot in the Caribbean, and was filmed not long after he separated from ex-wife Tish in April 2022 after 28 years of marriage. He went on to have a short-lived relationship with Firerose but he filed for divorce in May 2024 after seven months of marriage. A source recently revealed Elizabeth 'spent a beautiful couple of weeks in Tennessee with Billy Ray' and that they would be getting back together soon after she jetted off. 'She loved being surrounded by nature in a more laid-back environment. She had a great time with Billy Ray,' the insider told People. As their love for each other continues to blossom, the pair are reportedly not deterred by navigating long distance or either of their demanding schedules. 'They are keeping in touch now and plan on seeing each other soon again,' the source explained. 'They both believe they were meant to connect again.' The insider also revealed that the stars 'appreciate each others' love and friendship' and have formed a 'very special connection.' It is unknown at this time if he will be joining her on her 60th birthday celebrations, which she plans to keep intimate with just her closest loved ones. Billy Ray also described the actress as a 'a great human being' and insisted he would have been satisfied just being friends. 'She's so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman,' he gushed. 'If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.' Billy Ray also teased that there would be more photos of them coming since taking their relationship public on Easter with a sweet photo of him giving her a kiss on the cheek. 'There will be one coming where she's kissing me because people have been saying, 'Why's he always kissing her?' Unfortunately when I see her, when she puts her cheek out there, I don't know what happens, I just kiss it,' he mused. The singer raved that their relationship has 'been beautiful' and also said he loves her son, Damian, 23, 'a lot'. 'It's great that God brought them into my life when he did. It's just a good thing. It's been a long time since I've been this happy,' he said of his new relationship. A source told Us Weekly that the pair 'bonded over life experiences' as they've 'both been through a lot in life' adding that the relationship is 'very recent.' 'They really understand each other and Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores,' the insider added.

Elizabeth Hurley and Brooke Shields prove 'the bikini couldn't care less about your birth certificate': expert
Elizabeth Hurley and Brooke Shields are redefining 59 as they stunned in bikinis earlier this week. In photos and videos shared to Instagram, the actresses, who both turn 60 this year, flaunted their toned figures in skimpy two-piece swimsuits while on vacation. The "Blue Lagoon" star posted a trio of images in which she soaks up the sun while rocking a black and white two-piece. In a video Hurley uploaded, she played in the ocean waves as she sported a revealing taupe bikini embellished with gold chain links from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach swimwear line. Shields and Hurley are among the stars who are proving that "60 isn't a milestone; it's a mindset," according to PR and branding expert Eric Schiffer. "The bikini couldn't care less about your birth certificate," the Reputation Management Consultants chairman told Fox News Digital. "It's no longer about aging gracefully. It's about aging gloriously," he added. "Beauty doesn't fade; it evolves. When you look this good at 60, you redefine the meaning of prime." By putting their confidence on full display, Shields, Hurley and other stars "inspire many people to embrace each stage of life with style and grace," Schiffer said. "It reminds us that life doesn't end at 50 or 60. It accelerates," he added. Doug Eldridge of Achilles PR told Fox News Digital the celebrities were setting a positive example with their age-defying appearances. "Credit to these women — both for putting in the hard work to maintain this aesthetic at that age, and for having the self-confidence and positive body image; not only to pull it off, but to attempt it in the first place. In an era of sweeping mental health crises, this is a testament to self-confidence and an empowering sense of self," Eldridge said. Beverly Hills cosmetic dermatologist Jason Emer shared his opinion on how Shields, Hurley and other stars have maintained their youthful looks and fit physiques as they've aged. "The secret lies in a holistic approach to wellness and beauty," Emer said. "These women understand that maintaining a youthful appearance and vibrant health requires more than just good genes. It's a combination of cutting-edge medical aesthetics; a disciplined fitness regime; a clean, anti-inflammatory diet; and a focus on inner wellness." Emer noted the women were "investing in their healthspan, not just their lifespan." "They maintain muscle mass, prioritize collagen-boosting foods, incorporate biohacking techniques and take medical-grade supplements, all of which have a profound impact on their overall vitality and appearance," he said. "What sets them apart is their commitment to staying ahead of aging, taking preventative measures instead of waiting for the effects to show up." Emer noted that many stars who rose to fame in their youth are challenging aging stereotypes with their confidence. "Christie Brinkley, Elizabeth Hurley and others like them have completely shifted the narrative around aging," he said. "They're showing that aging doesn't mean decline, but rather it can represent a new chapter where one gains confidence, embraces wisdom and celebrates the beauty that comes with experience. "They're redefining what it means to age gracefully, focusing not on fighting aging, but thriving at any age," Emer added. "The traditional idea that youth is the only measure of beauty is being replaced with the understanding that beauty is timeless. Aging doesn't have to mean losing vibrancy; it's about gaining elegance and confidence." Over the years, many stars have revealed how they are flipping the script on aging into their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. Elizabeth Hurley previously shared some of her age-defying beauty and wellness secrets in a 2017 interview with The Cut. "People often ask me how you can look good as you age, and, for me, it's a couple of things," the "Austin Powers" star said. "You need to look after your skin. That's important. "You also have to look after your health," she added. "You can't look good if you're not healthy, and diet plays a big part. You can't smoke and have too much alcohol. We all get hard knocks in life, but it's important to stay positive and stay engaged and not be angry. Anger doesn't seem to go hand in hand with wellness." Brooke Shields, who rose to fame at the age of 12 when she played a child prostitute in the controversial 1978 movie "Pretty Baby" and became a household name at 15 after starring in 1980's "The Blue Lagoon," detailed her experience with aging in her 2025 memoir, "Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old." During a January appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Shields shared that her book was inspired by an encounter with a man that left her "shocked." "I was at a cocktail party, and I was having a nice conversation with a gentleman, and he was sort of impressing me with his knowledge of wine, so I decided to talk about my vintage," the "Blue Lagoon" star said. "And I said, 'Oh, I'm 59,' and he said, 'I wish you didn't tell me that.'" Shields recalled that she was "shocked" by the man's remark, though she understood he had "a knee-jerk reaction." "In that one moment, he had to understand his age, he had to understand that I was no longer 'Blue Lagoon,' and all of it got put on its head," she said. "Unless you are a figure that sadly dies early, you don't stay frozen. And so it made me really start thinking of what we do, especially in this country, to women," Shields explained. "And then, for me, to be around this long but not be 15, and have people imprint on me at age 15, or maybe I was in their locker or their posters." The "Suddenly Susan" alum told Clarkson a fan expressed a similar sentiment while commenting during one of her Instagram Live videos. "I got one of the little notes that said, 'Wow, I wish you looked like the way you used to look,'" she said. "And I was like, 'Read the title of my book. Do you understand what you're doing culturally?'" While Shields asserted that the comments didn't bother her, she said she felt "offended for women who are not allowed to age gracefully." "You're either the sexy girl at the bar or you're in Depends, and there's no middle ground," Shields said. "I love this middle ground because I've earned it. "By the time you're 59, you start going, 'He he he, come on, bring it on, and I'm going to have fun.'" Last year, Christie Brinkley spoke about why she continues to share photos of herself in swimsuits. "I post these pictures because I hear from women my age all the time that say, 'Thank you for changing the way people think about the numbers,'" the former Sports Illustrated model told Fox News Digital in April 2024. "Back in the day, numbers represented something. I remember people thinking that, after 30, you should never wear your hair past your shoulders or your hemline needed to hover your knee caps. "I've always found those rules so limiting," she added. "Everybody's different, everybody's unique. But it's like telling a gymnast she can't do flips past a certain age. It doesn't make sense. If you've got great legs, show them. If there's something about yourself that you really love, celebrate that. Don't be controlled by those numbers." In February, Halle Berry launched her platform Respin, which aims to "redefine menopause and longevity, providing women with resources and support to navigate this life stage and feel their best," according to its website. During an interview on "Today," the Oscar winner shared her view on how women can feel empowered as they age. "We don't have to just fall off into obscurity when we hit 40," Berry said. "We have half of our life to still live." "We are really our best selves. We've worked our whole lives. We've raised our kids. Many of us have gotten to the top of our career," she continued. "It's not time to sit down. It's time to reinvent. "It's time to have a beautiful, glorious second act. We just need to know how." Salma Hayek has continued to showcase her age-defying looks in swimsuit photos she shares on social media. In a 2021 interview with People magazine, Hayek opened up about how her body image has changed over the years. "When I look at pictures of me in my 30s or in my 40s, I see myself more beautiful than I saw myself at the time," she told People magazine in 2020. "I used to criticize myself so much. "Now, when I look in the mirror and there are things that I don't see, I think about how much I'm going to like me in 10 years." Paulina Porizkova has frequently spoken out on social media about the pressure that women face as they age. In 2021, the model shared an Instagram photo of herself in a gold bikini and penned a lengthy caption in which she addressed phrases like "reverse aging" and "anti [aging]," which she noted were harmful because they are not possible to achieve. "Combat age. Reverse aging. Rejuvenate. Anti age. None of this is possible," she mused. "Yet, if you do an internet search on aging, this is what you'll get. Pills, potions and workouts to fight the aging process. You know what the only way to stop aging? Dying. "I do not want to fight myself everyday for the rest of my life," she added. "But I do want to make the best of what I was given. And I want to shine a bright light in the dark corners of the shame that is heaped on women for daring to age. "I can't change the world alone, but if you feel like I do, there are some amazing women here on IG that I get inspired by everyday. There are many many more, and inspirations for all different reasons, but for now I'm just picking those who are accepting their aging and making it beautiful." To celebrate turning 60 Wednesday, Porizkova posted a photo of herself in a blue bikini, writing, "Reached level 60 today! Grateful, inspired, full of joy and waaaay too busy enjoying it all to post more - for now. And THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE BEST WISHES- I APPRECIATE THEM AND YOU SO MUCH! Back next week to share all the fun- but for now, I'm living it." "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Lisa Rinna continues to shine in her bikinis on Instagram despite some negative comments. In 2022, Rinna defended Porizkova on social media after an Instagram user called her "old and ugly" in a comment on her bikini post. Rinna fired back at the negative comment, posting an image of herself in a green bikini on her Instagram story and writing, "Paulina Porizkova posted a photo of herself in a bikini and she was called old and ugly for doing so." "Well I'm 58 and here is my 'old and ugly.'" The reality TV personality also celebrated her 59th birthday with bikini shots on Instagram. "Another trip around the Sun. This is 59," she captioned the images.
