Elizabeth Hurley

Elizabeth Hurley has designed a diffusion line for Mango. Speaking to the Sunday Times, Elizabeth Hurley talks swimwear shoots. 'Shooting bikinis is now my life,' she said, 'which, as you can imagine, is unmitigated hell. I can't think of anything worse in the world than another bikini shoot'.

British fashion label Monsoon has dumped Liz Hurley, 42, from her one-million-pound contract as the face of Monsoon. Rumor has it that Monsoon was looking to go with a younger woman, and hired Helena Christensen (38) in place of Hurley. However, the company denies any age rumors and blamed the firing on poor sales.

Monsoon also hired Heidi Klum as the new face of their sister company, Accessorize, a popular British accessories boutique. She is taking over the role formerly held by model Lily Cole.

This is the second time this year Liz Hurley has been fired from an ad campaign - the first was from Jordache denim, the company which, coincidentally, Heidi Klum just did a major ad campaign for. Hmm...do I smell a pattern here?

Pictured here is Elizabeth Hurley, in a bold and festive Pucci gown that she wore to an event honoring the design house recently. What do you think? This dress is a tricky look that wouldn't work for just anyone, but I think Elizabeth Hurley pulls it off with just the right amount of class - but without looking like a multi-colored beach ball. On anyone shorter or stockier, the loud prints would have the potential to make one look huge. But on her tall, lanky frame, this dress can work, and is very representative of the bold colors and prints used in typical Pucci designs--perfect for the event she wore it to, which honored Pucci's 60th anniversary, but not suitable for most other occasions. I love it, and hats off to Elizabeth for making a risky, artsy dress work for her. What do you think?
