Liz Hurley, 54, thrills fans in racy red bikini and denim shorts

Summer may be on its way out in the UK but not without one last bikini shot from Elizabeth Hurley.

The 54-year-old actress and swimsuit designer is marking the “last of the summer sun” with yet another steamy photo shoot for her fans.

The Instagram photo shows Liz channeling Daisy Duke in short denim cut-offs and a plunging red bikini top from her beachwear line.

The Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery star was bombarded with compliments from awe-struck fans.

“Luv it,” an admirer wrote. “You're more gorgeous than any 25-year-old.”

“How do u not age? What a woman,” added another fan.

“God made you when he was thinking about bikini,” read another comment.

“You’re the reason the sun doesn’t want to leave,” one fan remarked, while another pronounced Hurley the “hottest woman on the planet.”

Given all this attention, will Liz actually hang up her string bikinis for the off-season? And if she does, how will her fans ever cope?
