At 60, Elizabeth Hurley is proving you're never too old to try something new—and she's got the gardening gloves to prove it. The iconic model and actress, known for her decades-long career in Hollywood and swimwear, has swapped sandy shores for soil in Tennessee.
Hurley, who shot to fame in the 1990s with roles in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and the E! series The Royals, recently shared a photo of herself sporting brand-new gardening gloves. The caption? A call for help: “Brand new gardening gloves to start a brand new garden in Tennessee….no idea what will grow here- all tips welcomed.”
Her Instagram followers didn't disappoint. One fan gushed, “You’re stunning. Love the gloves. Have a nice time in Tennessee.” Another offered practical advice: “Start a herb garden for seasoning… you will never go wrong.” A third chimed in with confidence: “Something tells me whatever you plant is gonna thrive.” The suggestions kept coming—lilacs, tomatoes, peppers, raspberries, and string beans all got shout-outs.
Of course, Hurley is no stranger to the spotlight. She's graced the cover of British Vogue multiple times and built a swimwear empire with her own brand, Elizabeth Hurley Beach. “I decided to venture into beachwear not only because I’ve always been obsessed with vacation clothes, but also because it’s an area where women, regardless of shape or size, can either look amazing or really get it wrong,” she once said. “I wanted to develop resort collections which make women feel fabulous at any age.”
Now, she's trading bikinis for trowels—and fans are loving it. Olivia Dunne's Miller Lite Photo recently smashed 1.9 million views, but Hurley's down-to-earth gardening post is a different kind of viral hit. It's a reminder that even Hollywood royalty gets their hands dirty.
Will Hurley develop a full-blown passion for gardening? Only time will tell. But if her swimsuit line is any indication, she'll tackle this new hobby with style and determination. After all, she's already proven she can make anything look good—whether it's a beach photo or a pair of gardening gloves.
For now, her Tennessee garden is a blank canvas—and her fans are eager to see what blooms. As one Instagram user put it, “Something tells me whatever you plant is gonna thrive.” With Hurley's track record, it's hard to argue.
