Once known for her revealing red carpet looks like the 1990s safety pin dress, Elizabeth stays true to her personality on Instagram as well. In August 2023, she posted a video that went viral for many reasons but mostly because of how stunning, she looked even on a vacation while naked on a watermelon-shaped pool float.
Elizabeth Hurley confesses why she likes to stay covered up in public
However, the 58-year-old who seems to literally defy the law of nature and ageing has now revealed that she tries to not reveal too much of herself. The shock confession comes as she’s seen avoiding showing off her body as she used to before, unless it’s a shoot or scene.
Despite appearing to have a flawless complexion and perfect figure, the Wonder Woman actress revealed that she does get ‘self-conscious’ especially because of the ‘unflattering’ photos taken by paps at events, reports The Express. Talking about it in one of her recent interviews with Times Radio, Liz explained:
Unfortunately, you know, cameras now are high-def and they're really unflattering.
She shared that these high-def cameras may be an advancement in technology but they are bearers of bad news for celebs and fashionistas. As such, Liz confessed:
I only show very small bits of me now. Obviously, when you're older, your skin isn't so good on your body - and I do find myself covering up quite a lot when I'm in public.
Highlighting how more and more celebs are opting for ‘covered’ looks on the red carpet, Liz added:
If you look at the red carpet now, people are covered. They cover their arms, they cover their legs. They just show a little bit because it's deeply unflattering.
No matter how old you are - and people don't like it. Why would they? No one likes it.
And while the actress may want to cover up on the red carpet, she’s still happy to strip off for a shoot. According to MailOnline, Liz recently posed half naked for the Loaded relaunch - a lads’ magazine that is launching a new digital platform nine years after going out of print.
She also played a steamy lesbian role in a movie directed by her 22-year-old son - Damian Hurley. Damian directed his mother in an intimate lesbian scene that became the talk of the town.

Let’s find out what they are!
Free beauty secrets that can be easily done
Moisturising thoroughly
Liz moisturises like her life depends on it. According to The Sun, she uses a moisturiser at least 10 times a day. The mum-of-one swears by it. She previously revealed:
The one thing I swear by is moisturiser—and lots of it. I’ll moisturise my face about six times a day and my neck about 10 times a day.
Lightly dab it over your face and it instantly makes you glow.
She also told MailOnline that if there was only one skincare product she could use for the rest of her life it would be a good moisturiser.
Eating clean
Liz doesn’t drink three green juices a day or anything but she eats as many vegetables as possible and a ‘big salad at lunchtime.’ The actress - who was once accused of taking Prince Harry’s virginity - follows the mantra of ‘you are what you eat.’ She explained:
I like simple, natural, easy food. I don’t really like food with a lot of chemicals or additives
Liz has no processed food at her home. She eats a lot of protein and even makes her own bread as she has a breadmaker. What’s more? The actress never snacks, she revealed:
I don't snack. Ever. I eat plenty for breakfast, lunch and dinner…But I haven't snacked for about ten years. It suits my digestion better.
Water is her best friend
Apart from eating clean and right, Liz also makes a conscious effort to drink as much water as she can. Her morning routine also includes drinking two cups of warm water before her espresso. She admitted:
It tastes fairly disgusting. But it's fantastic for your digestive system.
Beauty sleep
It’s no doubt that getting your beauty sleep is the key to a healthy body, mind and soul. It aids in giving glowing skin as well, as such, Liz swears by her sleeping routine as well. Liz shared:
I'm a morning person by nature – a lark as opposed to an owl. And I really annoy the owls, too.
The actress added that even when her son wants to talk to her at night (even at 10.30 pm) she brushes him off and asks him to talk to her in the morning. She added:
I’ve learned how to rest when I need to rest
Exercise
Exercise does wonders to your body, no matter what your age is. Liz does a lot of yoga, pilates and stretches a lot. She explained:
They could be ballet, yoga or old-fashioned stretching moves. I do them while waiting for the kettle to boil or cleaning my teeth.
And when I'm in the country I do lots of walking and gardening. I'm always moving furniture, too. I'm pretty active.
Liz added she doesn’t rest until 6 pm and then she just relaxes. Additionally, she doesn’t smoke and has also limited her alcohol intake.
Beauty secrets that will have you spend money
Apart from having a balanced lifestyle, Liz also uses a lot of high-end products that aid in enhancing her look. As a spokesmodel for Estée Lauder, she religiously uses their Advanced Night Repair Serum. Liz first started using it in 1995 and has been using it twice daily since then.
Her body care includes a lot of body brushes, even one on her bedside table that she uses right before going to bed. Her make-up essentials include a Bobbi Brown Blush and Lip Gloss.
