'Desperate' Elizabeth Hurley Accused Of Photoshopping Bikini Snap: 'Not Buying It'

Elizabeth Hurley is turning heads on Instagram once again, but not everyone is impressed.

On July 21, the 60-year-old actress and model shared a mirror selfie from what appears to be a luxe bathroom overlooking the sparkling coastline of Monaco.

Rocking a bold red bikini with gold chain accents and oversized sunglasses, Elizabeth Hurley posed with her phone in hand, giving followers a glimpse of her toned figure and tousled beach waves.

The post, which racked up over 100,000 likes, came with a warm caption thanking her friend Tamara Mellon for “a few days in paradise” alongside the hashtag #Monaco.

Plenty of fans, and even celebrity pals, jumped into the comments to show their love. Lisa Rinna hyped her up with a string of “Body body body” fire emojis, while one follower called her “still smoking hot” and another gushed, “Still love you.” Hurley’s son, Damian, also dropped a heart emoji-filled comment in support.

But the post wasn’t without its critics. One user bluntly accused her of relying on heavy editing, writing, “Has got to be some type of photoshop in all the bikini pics… not one mole, mark, trace of cellulite or aging skin at her age. Nope, not buying it.”

Others took a more subtle jab, suggesting the image felt “too perfect” to be completely natural.

Just days before her Monaco mirror moment, Hurley shared another swimwear snap, this time in a bright turquoise bikini, that quickly set Instagram ablaze. Posted on July 15 and racking up over 78,000 likes, the close-up shot showed the star leaning against a dark wooden wall with wet hair and a relaxed, makeup-kissed expression.

“Early morning swim in paradise #nofilter, but lots of last night’s @esteelauder Sumptuous Mascara,” she wrote in the caption.

Fans flooded the comments with compliments, calling her “absolutely gorgeous,” a “goddess,” and the “original English rose.”

One admirer even joked, “How do you age like a fine wine and not even take off your makeup? No fair!”

On July 13, Hurley turned up the heat with a golden-hour bikini snap that quickly became one of her most-liked recent posts, pulling in over 147,000 likes. Wearing a neutral-toned string bikini with gold detailing, the actress posed in the warm sunrise glow, her hair tousled and her gaze fixed in the distance.

In the caption, she let followers in on her “secret to flattering bikini pics,” advising them to “BAN overhead sunlight” and instead shoot during sunrise or sunset. She added that the photo was taken at 7 a.m., and by 8 a.m., she was “lounging around” in one of her Elizabeth Hurley Beach kaftans.

Fans, including famous names like Josh Gad, Mario Testino, and Ann Caruso, flooded the comments with praise, calling her “stunning,” “amazing,” and even likening her to “Helen of Troy,” who “caused a global bikini shortage.”

Back in May, Hurley gave her followers a glimpse of paradise with a carefree beach snap from the Maldives. In the May 2 post, which drew over 74,000 likes, the actress posed barefoot on the white sand in a bright red bikini, arms raised in the air with a wide smile as palm trees and turquoise waters framed the background.

“Well…it’s been a helluva few weeks since my glorious sojourn in the Maldives, but here are some of my happy memories,” she wrote in the caption, tagging the luxury resort Baglioni Maldives.

While plenty of fans cheered her on with heart and fire emojis, calling her a “super star” and “so happy for you, dearest,” not everyone was sold. One commenter bluntly wrote, “Pic without the heavy editing would be lovely!” hinting at suspicions of retouching.

Rounding out her string of tropical bikini updates, Hurley posted a sun-drenched shot from the Maldives on April 10 that garnered more than 62,000 likes. Wearing a fiery red bikini from her own Elizabeth Hurley Beach line, she posed sideways beneath palm fronds, flashing a wide smile while showing off the swimwear’s gold chain details.

In her caption, she thanked Baglioni Maldives for “an amazing vacation full of sun, sea and sand (and moonlight, delicious food and the best outdoor bathrooms)” before giving herself a playful nod for the design of the “Blaze” bikini she was modeling.

The comments section was filled with fire emojis and compliments, with fans calling her “Superwoman” and praising the “beautiful natural lighting.”

Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter also chimed in with her approval.
