Elizabeth Hurley surprises fans with ‘nude’ beach photo

Liz Hurley, 53, certainly isn’t camera shy — but she may have given fans more than they bargained for in her latest racy photo.

Liz Hurley has caused a stir with her latest bikini photo — but this time it’s not down to her incredible figure.

The 53-year-old posted a seemingly innocent photo of herself on the beach in her swimmers, but fans were forced to do a double take as at first glance she appeared to be completely naked.

“Are you even wearing a bikini?” one fan wrote.

While another said: “OMG, I thought you were completely nude at first.”

However the British actress was just wearing a skin coloured bikini, causing confusion among her 1.1 million Instagram fans.

In a second snap of the flesh-couloured swimwear, Liz flaunts her curves while wearing a pair of purple sunglasses.

Fans remarked that the Austin Powers star looked “age-defying” in the $123 honey bikini from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach range.

“Good God woman. Don’t you ever age? Unbelievably Beautiful,” one delighted fan wrote.

“You’ve got the body of a 21 year old,” another declared.

Some were in complete shock at the Hollywood star’s age: “This woman is NOT 53, I’m just not having it!!!”

“One of the hottest 53-year-old women on the PLANET!” another said.

Earlier this month, Liz caused a stir while wearing a white one-piece that fans, with fans declaring the bikini photo was “perfect” as she modelled another of her own designs.

“This is just the most perfect photo,” an excited fan wrote at the time.

Liz regularly dazzles her followers, sharing her exotic lifestyle on her social media page — usually in one of her skimpy bikinis.

Last November, she left many speechless over her impressive figure during a trip to the Maldives.

“You have the body of a 20-year-old!” one declared.

“Wow. Killer, Ms Hurley,” wrote another.

She’s previously admitted her son Damian often takes the racy snaps, as well revealing it takes a lot of hard work to look after her body.

“I’ve been in the business for a really long time so my body is something I have to take care of and think about all the time. I use as much (sun) cream as possible on it,” she told The Sun in February 2018.
