Liz Hurley's sexiest pics at 56 – from safety pin dress to her own bikini range

Liz Hurley has seemed age-defying for years.

Her incredible figure, youthful skin and gorgeous hair mean she could pass for someone in her twenties. But believe it or not, the British beauty turns 56 today, June 10.

Liz, who grew up in the suburbs of Basingstoke in Hampshire, was an aspiring actress and model in the late eighties, and her first movie appearance was in the 1987 film Aria.

But it wasn’t until she attended the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral with Hugh Grant in 1994 in the iconic Versace safety pin dress that Liz shot to global fame.

Lucrative modelling contracts and movie roles ensued and a true star was born.

After splitting from Hugh, 60, she had a son, Damian, with American businessman Steve Bing.

She eventually married Indian textile heir Arun Nayar in 2007 but they divorced in 2011.

Another high profile relationship was with Australian cricketer Shane Warne.

So to celebrate the star’s birthday, here are some of her loveliest looks over the years.

Versace safety pin dress – 1994

This dress is where it all began back in 1994 when Liz accompanied Hugh Grant to that fateful premiere.

Legend has it that as she was not a well-known actress at the time, no major designers would lend her a frock.

But someone at the Versace shop on Bond St did her a favour – and the rest is history.

Not only did it launch Liz’s career, it also put the flashy Italian fashion brand on the map.

Her ‘favourite bikini’ – 2021

This was a recent snap and Liz was celebrating her “favourite bikini” being back in stock.

Naturally, the two-piece was from her own swimwear brand Liz Hurley Beach, which she launched in 2005.

The Austin Powers star seems to be a big fan of animal print, and it’s a perfect choice to show off her killer curves.

And her followers were loving what they saw, with more than 156,000 hitting the like button.

The Oscars – 1995

Back on the arm of Hugh Grant, Liz attended the 67th Academy Awards in LA in an eye-popping white embellished number by… you guessed it, Versace.

Proving the saying ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is very true, Liz stunned in the floor-length gown.

Double straps kept the sweetheart neckline in place, though plenty of cleavage was on display, while the tight-fitted bodice showed off her curves too.

Fun in the snow – 2021

This was a bit of controversial one – depending on how liberal you are – as it was snapped by her teenage son Damian.

He is also a model though, so maybe it doesn’t count.

Liz was pictured wearing a pair of bikini bottoms from her own range and not much else outside her sprawling country mansion.

She threw on a furry coat to cover at least some of her assets – and to keep her warm from the snow.

Topless temptress – 2020

Last year, Liz shared a topless photo as she lapped up the rays in a green grassy field.

Her long brunette locks tumbled down her back as she glanced over her shoulder, smiling to the camera as she grasped a bottle of sun cream.

The star, who was 54 at the time, wore just a pair of soft yellow bikini bottoms that barely covered her peachy rear.

Baywatch vibes – 2017

Channeling Baywatch, Liz looked nowhere near her what were then 52 years in the sultry snap she shared back in 2017.

She could certainly give Pamela Anderson a run for her money.

Again, the one-piece was from her own collection.

And as fans pointed out, she had barely changed since the 90s – and even now she’s looking just as scorching.

Dripping dress – 1999

Back in 1999, Liz attended the CFDA Awards in New York, and really stole the show.

She slipped into a stunning floor-length frock, complete with a leg slit and a deep plunging neckline.

The metallic fabric of the dress looked like molten silver, and it almost appeared to be dripping between her assets and down her bronzed legs.

She accessorised with a seriously sparkly bag, and some matching silver open-toe heels.
