A few years ago Elizabeth Hurley famously declared she would never again be seen eating her lunch in a bikini, nor strolling the beach with her midriff showing. Now she's stepped back into a two-piece, though, in a series of stunning shots to launch her own designs for a High Street store.
The sultry pictures depict the mum-of-one on the deck of a boat in a selection of the colourful creations she designed for Mango. And they show that at 42, Elizabeth looks better than ever, though she has admitted in an interview to accompany the shots that she enlisted the expertise of "nice photographers" and a little digital enhancement.

Jamie Lynn Spears has put away her baggy clothes and is starting to show her baby bump.
The very pregnant future mom was out doing some shopping in Mississippi over the weekend.

"We went somewhere very nice for dinner — it was very good but I can't tell you exactly what we did," she told Pop Tarts last week with a cheeky smile. "It would be too naughty and you can’t run it anyway. It would just be bloop bleep bloop bloop bleep. But it was a very good first date. ..."
The comely couple met in a New York City hotel lobby in 2004, and Klum will forever be remembered for telling Oprah how she checked out Seal in his bicycle shorts.
And after three years of marriage, it seems as though the "Project Runway" princess pretty much gives her hubby full credit for her career and the fact that just last week she was named Us Weekly magazine's Style Icon of the Year.
"I have my husband to thank first, because he has such a great style I wanted to keep up with him," she said. "I know I have to look good next to him and look good for him."

Nicole Kidman urged the world leaders to join the global battle against violence on women.
The actress, who is in the seventh month of pregnancy, is devoted to he role as good will ambassador of the UN Development Fund for Women.
"Obviously, I'm emotionally connected to this," Kidman said of her commitment during a press conference Tuesday at United Nations headquarters in New York. "I'm a mother. I have a child on the way. A lot of it is realizing the things that are wrong and [pondering] how can I contribute to help my children have a better life?"
Kidman, 40, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women (since 2006), spoke passionately about the need to curb violence against women – which she called the "most widespread human rights violation of our time."
Though U.N. statistics show that some progress is being made (89 countries have laws on domestic violence, more than 100 have made rape a crime, 90 have provisions against sexual harassment, and 93 on human trafficking), Kidman noted that "one in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime."
She added, "That's an extraordinary statistic. Yet do we ever hear it?"
