“Happy Birthday to meeeee!” That’s the caption Elizabeth Hurley wrote under a picture of herself in a sexy blue bikini she recently posted to Instagram. The star decided to celebrate her 58th year on Earth by giving her fans a gift they’ll never forget!

The steamy photo features the England native standing in the ocean and stretching her arms up to the sky, most likely in celebration. Her perfectly toned midriff is on full display, as are her luscious lips, parted in exclamation. Slightly windswept hair cascades down Hurley’s chest, covering—but not entirely obscuring—her bikini top. All in all a gorgeous birthday pose for a gorgeous actress.

The star has been designing her own line of bikinis and other swimwear since 2005, and her current collection is available now at Elizabeth Hurley Beach. Much to her fan’s delight, the ageless star often models her creations on Instagram. It’s not readily apparent if this latest bikini is part of her personal line or not, but either way, Elizabeth Hurley wears the royal blue two-piece like a second skin.

Hurley was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire, England, and originally dabbled in punk fashion as a teenager before graduating to the elegant gowns and spicy bikinis she’s known for. Pink hair and a safety pin through the nose is a far cry from the middle-aged hottie currently fogging up fan’s iPhone screens with her steamy Instagram selfies.

Elizabeth Hurley started modeling at an age a lot of models start thinking about giving up the runway. The fact that Elizabeth Hurley, at 29 was just starting a career that many women start in their late teens is a testament to her ageless beauty. Along with modeling, Hurley is best known for her acting.

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was the movie that put Elizabeth Hurley on most fans’ radar. Playing the straight-laced Vanessa Kensington to Mike Myers‘ goofy spy, Hurley was nothing short of shagadelic in the 1997 comedy classic. In 2000 Elizabeth starred opposite Brendan Fraser in the comedy Bedazzled. The movie is mostly known today for a single scene in which Hurley wears a sequined red bikini while holding a large snake.

What can we say? Bikinis and Elizabeth Hurley are just a natural combination.

The actress did some television work as well, including parts on Gossip Girl and The Royals. Further TV roles saw Hurley dipping her toe in both of the prominent superhero universes. For DC, she played the villain Veronica Cale in the unreleased 2011 Wonder Woman pilot, while her role as Morgan le Fay in the final season of Runaways ticked the Marvel box.

Elizabeth Hurley continues to juggle her role as a fashion mogul with that of an iconic actress. Just last year, she starred in a pair of Holiday themed movies, Christmas in the Caribbean and Christmas in Paradise as well as the horror movie The Piper.

Luckily for the fans, Hurley still finds the time to model her bikinis on social media between acting gigs.
