Elizabeth Hurley is celebrating her birthday in style.
The “Austin Powers” actress celebrated her 61st birthday by posting a photo on Instagram of herself soaking up the sun on the beach.
In the photo, she is seen wearing a yellow bikini, holding a large tie-dye flag and smiling broadly for the camera, with a picturesque ocean view behind her.
“Happy Birthday! With each passing year, I was worried that my life would become less exciting and more and more jaded by the world… but I’m happy to say that as long as I try and keep my chin up, nothing could be further from the truth. I love my life so much today 🩷,” she wrote in the caption.
She went on to say that she is “so happy and grateful to be surrounded by the most amazing friends and family,” who she said love her and help her “make life so much better.”
“I would also like to sincerely thank all of my best fans and followers around the world for their loyalty and kindness. This has already been a tough year, and I can’t wait to see what happens next,” she added.
Her fans immediately flooded the comments section with wishes for her birthday, while others commented on her youthful appearance.
“Happy birthday to you. What a great example of healthy living,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Age is just a number.”
A third fan added: “Oh my god I’ve never looked so beautiful in my life.”
Hurley previously gave fans tips on how to take the perfect bikini photo in an Instagram post shared in May, in which she posed poolside in a black and white striped bikini.
In the photo’s caption, Harley admitted that “being photographed in a bikini can be scary,” but said the most important thing to keep in mind is “Lie down!!”
“Even in scary overhead light or with a high-resolution camera phone (photographed with a cell phone in direct sunlight), as long as you stretch out enough and wear sunglasses, you’ll be fine. You’ll thank me later,” she shared.
She recently looked stunning on the red carpet at London’s Air Ambulance Charity Black and White Gala in a figure-hugging white off-the-shoulder dress with floral embellishments, sequins and a train flowing behind her.
She walked the carpet alongside her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, wearing a simple black suit and matching sunglasses.
