A few years ago Elizabeth Hurley proclaimed she would never again be seen eating her lunch in a bikini, nor strolling the beach with her midriff showing. Now, she forgets her statement and back into a two-piece, though, in a series of stunning shots to launch her own designs for a High Street store.
The sultry pictures paint the mum-of-one on the deck of a boat in a selection of the colourful creations she designed for Mango. And they show that at 42, Elizabeth looks better than ever, though she has admitted in an interview to accompany the shots that she enlisted the expertise of “nice photographers” and a little digital enhancement.
she said “I like a certain amount of retouching like anybody,.”
“I don’t have professional Photoshop, just the one that comes with your camera. Every time I download my holiday snaps, I always go over them. Just the red eye and the colour enhancement. I don’t do any slimming because you need a silly programme – but the colour enhancing is heaven.
“Vanity retouching – who wouldn’t?”
Even if the pictures have been retouched slightly they suggest Elizabeth has fulfilled on the promise she made in a 2005 interview to “go to ground and annoy everyone by emerging thinner, sexier and mentally cleansed”.
