Elizabeth Hurley looked incredible in a black string bikini and sheer pants on Instagram.
The two-piece swimsuit is part of Hurley's swimwear collection, Elizabeth Hurley Beach.
Hurley's swimsuit photo comes just days after she celebrated her 61st birthday.
Elizabeth Hurley made waves on Instagram on Saturday in a cheeky bikini held together by a teeny-tiny string.
The photo features Hurley leaning up against a wall with a set of potted palm trees in the background. Looking directly into the camera, Hurley poses with one hand in the pocket of her sheer coverup. The pair of breezy pants feature a tie at the waist and thigh-high slits on either side of her legs, creating the illusion of a wrap skirt.
Hurley's halter bikini top—from her swimwear brand Elizabeth Hurley Beach—features thick shoulder straps hidden beneath her brown waves. Between the cups, the actress's top is held together by a single thin string that wraps around to tie at the mid-back.
She finished the ensemble with a smoky eye, thick mascara, dark eyebrows, and warm orange-tinted blush that complemented her glossy peach lip.

While a classic black bikini is a beach staple, Hurley has a rotating collection of swimsuits that come in several intricate patterns and colors. On April 10, Hurley hit the beach for a sandy photo shoot while wearing a string bikini with nautical blue-and-white stripes. A few days earlier, on April 2, the model went topless in a pair of bright yellow bikini bottoms while reposing in a field of flowers. In May, Hurley also offered pro tips on how to pose for bikini photos while lounging by the pool in a white striped bikini held together by tiny gold chains, which she accessorized with tinted sunglasses.

On June 10, the Strictly Confidential star celebrated her 61st birthday in an introspective Instagram post featuring a photo of herself in a yellow bikini. "Happy Birthday to me!" Hurley captioned the photo of herself smiling and waving a tie-dye towel in the air. "I used to fear that as every year passed, my life might get less exciting and I'd get more and more world weary… but I'm pleased to tell you that if you hang on in and keep your chin up, nothing could be further from the truth. I am LOVING my life today 🩷 ."
