Elizabeth Hurley ushered in 2026 with a glamorous and playful tribute to cinema history, proving that age is just a number. The actress and model, who turned 60 last year, celebrated the New Year at a 007-themed party, channelling the iconic Bond girl Ursula Andress.
A 007 Celebration with New Love and Family
For the festive bash, Hurley donned the legendary look: a white bikini with a toy gun tucked into the bottoms, completed with a matching white fur coat to combat the winter chill. She struck powerful poses, showcasing her remarkably toned physique, and even shared a playful moment with a cardboard cutout of Daniel Craig's James Bond.
The celebrations were a family and romantic affair. Her 23-year-old son, Damian Hurley, joined in the fun, while her partner, country music star Billy Ray Cyrus, 64, was quick to comment on her social media post. "Talk about a banger of a way to welcome in the New Year. I love you Baby," he wrote, confirming their romance, which went public in April 2025, is still going strong. Hurley captioned her photos, "Happy New Year. Starting 2026 with a bang #007Party."
Hurley's Simple Formula for Age-Defying Health
While Hurley has always been renowned for her looks—memorably in the safety-pin Versace dress in 1994—she maintains her enviable figure and youthful glow through a disciplined yet simple routine. She shared her core principles with the Associated Press, emphasising three pillars.
Firstly, staying active is non-negotiable. Hurley is a firm believer in "gentle exercise" and "lots of it." She told Us Weekly she avoids high-impact sports, preferring daily walks where she aims for 10,000 steps, combined with stretching, yoga, or Pilates. "I think sitting around on the sofa for hours and hours on end is not going to help anything, healthwise, lookswise," she stated.
Secondly, nutrition is key. Hurley advocates eating well and watching your weight for health. She starts her day with breakfast, favouring an omelette or avocado on toast, and focuses on whole foods. Her advice is to drink plenty of water, limit alcohol and processed food, and ensure you get plenty of sleep.
The Critical Role of Skincare and Wellness
The third, and perhaps most emphasised, secret is dedicated skincare. Having been a face of Estée Lauder for 27 years, Hurley credits high-quality products. "You have to use a really good moisturiser," she shared. "As you get older, your skin gets drier so you have to use more moisturiser, more eye cream, more body cream... I think moisture, moisture, moisture is the most important thing."
Beyond aesthetics, Hurley, a long-time campaigner for women's health and breast cancer awareness, stresses holistic wellbeing. She highlights the importance of keeping vital organs healthy, managing stress, and finding time to relax. "It's very hard to beat stress and to stay calm but it's a very valuable part of our health regime," she added, echoing medical advice.
By combining consistent, gentle movement, a clean diet, rigorous skincare, and a focus on mental wellness, Elizabeth Hurley continues to define her own standards of health and beauty well into her sixties.
