Elizabeth Hurley does not let the cold winter weather overwhelm her.
The British model and actress (55) went to social media on Sunday to end her ‘pretend holiday’, where she posted one swimsuit shot of herself a day to deal with the pandemic boredom.
Hurley just put on a lime green bikini from her Elizabeth Hurley Beach swimwear range and sunglasses and baked in the sunshine on Sunday’s photo. The star is shown drinking a glass of champagne in front of the scenic blue waters.
“Alas, my #pretendvacation is coming to an end; time to return to the mud and mist of my beloved Herefordshire. Fingers crossed, it will snow, it will be bikini again. Just enough time to squeeze in a glass of ice-cold champagne before I pack it, ‘she writes, along with the hashtags’ stay home’ and ‘live through my camera roll’.
Hurley started the faux holiday last month and promised ten days in a row bikini photos.
“Go on vacation!” wrote Hurley. “I’m so fed up with being home, I’m pretending to be gone and living the next ten days through my camera roll.”
In the first shot was Hurley, with another bikini from her swimwear line, as she kicked her leg up and frolicked on a sandy beach in a throw-back photo.
Before her ‘pretend holiday’, Hurley received some negative reactions after placing a particularly juicy shot of herself without a top, on which Good morning Britain host Piers Morgan called “thirsty” and “creepy.”
The negative reaction to Hurley’s steamy snaps reflects reactions to stars such as Salma Hayek and Paulina Porizkova, who are also known for their regular bikini photos. So, what is the root of the hostility towards stars that celebrate themselves cheerfully?
‘There is a fine line between jealousy, which is a competitive or hopeful feeling (‘ Maybe I can look like that ‘) and envy, which drives our impulse to destruction. “‘You have something I want and there is no hope I can get it’),” psychotherapist Bethany Marshall recently told Yahoo Life. “A position that has historically not been applied to women. It is a kind of freedom that we can not stop looking at.”
Marshall also said part of the setback has to do with the age of the stars in the photos. It is no coincidence that Hurley, Hayek and Porizkova are already in their 50s.
“Older women are not supposed to be sexy, especially not if they are mothers,” Marshall said. “These photos are taboo for those who believe that women should hide their bodies outside of their gestational age, and if they do not, it is vain.”
