Elizabeth Hurley (61) Shows off Her Go-to Holiday Kaftan in New Topless Beachwear Photos
Elizabeth Hurley has turned her Instagram into one of the most effective storefronts in celebrity fashion. The 61-year-old British actress and model regularly uses her feed to showcase pieces from her swimwear line, Elizabeth Hurley Beach, often modeling the designs herself.
Over the years, she has mastered the art of the beachwear shoot. Back in April, while promoting sun protection alongside her swimwear line, she advised followers to avoid overhead sunlight when shooting bikinis, explaining that sunrise or sunset work best.
Now the ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery’ star has given fans another look at a long-time favorite. In new Instagram photos, Hurley wore her white embroidered Eleni kaftan from her beachwear collection, styling it open over matching white bikini bottoms as she leaned against a sunlit wall.
Hurley explained in her caption that the kaftan has become a regular fixture in her holiday wardrobe. She revealed that she takes it on every vacation and counts it among her all-time favorite pieces.
The cover-up features short sleeves, delicate floral embroidery, sheer panels and a long row of fabric-covered buttons. Her bikini bottoms added gold ring detailing at the hips. She completed the look with a long gold pendant necklace and oversized drop earrings. In one image, she posed with an arm raised against the wall, while another captured her smiling toward the camera.
The photos quickly drew a wave of compliments. Followers flooded the comments with responses like “Unbelievable” and “Gorgeous still.” It’s a familiar reaction for Hurley, whose beachwear posts consistently attract attention. Fellow celebrities have joined in before too, with Heidi Klum once leaving an enthusiastic comment on one of her Elizabeth Hurley Beach posts.
This isn’t the first time Hurley has sung the praises of this particular piece. In July 2024, she shared a photo in the same white kaftan, calling the Eleni her favorite kaftan of the year and saying she had been living in it.
The design’s appeal lies in its flexibility. Her website listing at the time noted that the kaftan is versatile, since the look changes depending on which buttons you choose to close. That versatility has kept it in heavy rotation for years. It also reflects Hurley’s broader approach to her brand, which focuses on glamorous yet practical pieces for vacation dressing.
Hurley’s year has included plenty of travel and family moments. In January, she kicked off 2026 with a trip to the Maldives, sharing photos that included her 23-year-old son, Damian.
Away from the camera, she has also spoken about the simple routines she enjoys. Those include gardening, walking and preparing simple food, along with understanding and caring for her body as she gets older.
Whether she’s lounging in a kaftan or promoting her latest swimwear drop, Hurley continues to prove she’s one of her brand’s most effective ambassadors. Judging by the reaction to these latest photos, the Eleni kaftan isn’t going out of style anytime soon.
