Hilary Duff's Mexico Bikini Photos 'Creepy' During A 'Private Moment'

Hilary Duff largely received praise for her fit figure as her bikini-clad photos circulated in 2016, but not everyone was commenting on the actress' body. Enjoying an ocean day with then-boyfriend Jason Walsh, Hilary flaunted her sizzling physique in a colorful swim look, going skimpy in a halterneck bikini as the cameras caught her frame. Spending time South of the Border, Hilary embraced her Mexico beach setting as she stripped down, but some thought that the paparazzi's presence was invasive. Comments both on The Daily Mail and on Instagram sent daggers at the press, with one user calling the photos "creepy."

Scroll for the photos. Flaunting an impressive set of abs as she modeled a patchwork-style bikini with pops of blue, red, and purple, Hilary wowed with a display of her gym-honed muscles while also flying the flag for curves. Flashing her cleavage and curvy hips, the Younger star explored a Puerto Vallarta beach in a two-piece The Daily Mail called "barely there," with most of the photos showing her and personal trainer Jason clambering around rocks.

Wearing a second skin-effect pair of barefoot running shoes in blue and black, Hilary kept her look practical for the uneven terrain, also opting for a sporty feel via her swept-back locks. Going 100% makeup-free, the Lizzie McGuire alum was seen smiling, although one photo taken from behind did show her bending over.

When a fan on Instagram reposted the snaps last month, another jumped in to say: "Creepy photos of a private moment." A similar sentiment had manifested when The Daily Mail first published the photos, with one user replying: "She looks happy, healthy and confident. My God can the pics be any closer?? Intrusive. captions on every photo though..'Two heads are better than one' Smh." Over 40 fans agreed with the comment.

The majority of remarks, however, focused on what fans were seeing. "She's got an amazing body!!" one exclaimed. Over 100 users agreed with another positive comment, one reading: "Definitely a natural beauty. And to those criticizing her size, ten years ago she was so thin she looked ill. Now she's toned and fit and looking much healthier. She works out and it shows that she's still very feminine. And she has a great smile too."

Hilary is known for being a body-positive celebrity and has often slammed the size zero trend in Hollywood.

Despite covering up, Hilary still wowed fans in this stylish look, rocking a skintight pair of jeans paired with spiked stiletto heels. Adding a chic printed blouse in black and white, the blonde teamed her grayish look with her shoulder-slung purse, also carrying another smaller one in black.
