Why Elizabeth Hurley Is Still Queen of the Hot 100 at 59?

Elizabeth Hurley has once again left her fans in awe with her latest photoshoot, and honestly, can you blame them?

The 59-year-old English actress and model stole the show on the cover of Maxim’s September/October 2024 issue, revealed just a few days ago. Hurley shared the jaw-dropping cover from the Hot 100 edition on Instagram on Friday, September 20.

For the cover shot, Hurley rocked an oversized light blue button-down that practically blended in with the soft blues of the ocean and sky behind her. The scene was pure St. Tropez magic. Standing on the beach, with her wind-swept brown hair framing her face, Hurley flashed an effortlessly confident, open-mouthed smile. She kept it classy yet bold, unbuttoning the top of her shirt just enough to give a peek while crossing her arms in front of her. Her look was perfectly tied together with a chunky gold necklace—just the right touch of glam to her laid-back vibe.

In her Instagram caption, the Austin Powers icon showed some love to Maxim for making her their No. 1. She also gave a shout-out to photographer Gilles Bensimon, who has worked with Hurley for over 30 years now. Talk about a dynamic duo!

Fans, of course, had no chill. “Absolutely no surprise” was the general consensus across the comments, with many agreeing that Maxim definitely nailed it by putting Hurley at the top of their Hot 100 list.

“They got it right!” one fan exclaimed, while another chimed in with, “No other choice for No. 1 ❤️🔥.”

“Still stunning as ever,” someone else added, while another couldn’t help but gush, “What a gorgeous smile ❤️❤️.”

One fan took it even further, calling Hurley “Beautiful royalty,” while another dubbed her the “Eternal goddess.” Not a bad title, right?

Even Hurley’s 22-year-old son, Damian—who directed her in his 2024 feature film debut Strictly Confidential—hopped into the comments with a simple yet sweet, “LOVE ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️.”
