This Christmas, Elizabeth Hurley is giving everyone the gift of the perfect bikini snap.
“Life’s a beach,” she captioned her December 27th Instagram post, standing tall with one hand on her hip, wearing a leopard-print bikini of her own design, held together with metal chain detailing.
With her signature smoky eye and glossy lips, her layered brunette hair falls to her shoulders; thin gold hoops are barely visible on each ear.
And, while the 60-year-old model looks unbelievably flawless, she used the social media platform to share her tips and tricks to help anyone create a foolproof bikini photo.
“When I shot my first American Vogue cover (in a bikini, of course), the extraordinary Steven Meisel taught me how vital backlighting was for a flattering beach pic- to this day I heed his wisdom, so here I am showing off @elizabethhurleybeach 😉❤️,” she added.
The Cheetah Bikini ($182) is from her eponymous brand and is currently available on the Elizabeth Hurley Swim website.
This isn’t the first time Hurley has used Instagram to share her bikini-clad modeling knowledge.
Back in October, she posted a series of photos wearing a mint green bikini, writing, “My secret to flattering bikini pics? STRETCH!”
A few weeks later, she put that advice on display yet again, wearing a bright red bikini, arms in the air.
On Christmas Day, Hurley shared a decidedly more covered-up pose, standing next to boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus, 64, both twinning in red Fair Isle onesies with reindeer headbands on their heads.
This is the pair’s first Christmas together after going Instagram official with their relationship on Easter.
Whether wearing barely-there bikinis or cozy Christmas onesies, Hurley clearly knows her way around a photo shoot — we will certainly be absorbing all of the advice she’s willing to share.
