Elizabeth Hurley Looks Like ‘Beautiful Royalty’ in New Beachy Photoshoot

Elizabeth Hurley blew fans away with one of the images from her latest magazine photoshoot.

The English actress and model graced the cover of Maxim’s September/October 2024 issue, which was officially unveiled earlier this month. Hurley, 59, shared her cover for the Hot 100 issue on Instagram on Friday, Sept. 20.

In the cover photo, Hurley wore a large button-down shirt in a light blue shade that nearly blended with the blue background behind her as she stood in front of the ocean while posing on a beach in St. Tropez, France.

Hurley’s windblown brown hair framed her face as she aimed an open-mouthed smile at the camera. Several of the top buttons of her shirt were unbuttoned, revealing some of her chest as she crossed one arm in front of her body. She paired the business casual look with a chunky gold necklace.

In her caption for Friday’s post, the Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery actress thanked Maxim “for making me your No 1 🩷” and for “a delightful day in St Tropez this summer,” which she spent with photographer Gilles Bensimon. The two have a long history of working together, with Hurley noting it has been “30 years since our first shoot 🩷🩷🩷🩷.”

Fans said it was “no surprise” that Maxim chose Hurley to top its Hot 100 list, with many declaring the magazine “Definitely” made “the right decision 😍.”

“Absolutely! They got it right!” one fan wrote, as another agreed there was, “no other choice for No. 1 ❤️🔥❤️🔥.”

“They are not wrong 💫,” an Instagram user echoed.

“Still beautiful as ever,” one Instagram user commented, adding, “What a gorgeous smile ❤️❤️❤️.”
