Liz Hurley flaunts her amazing cleavage
Over a decade ago, her hourglass figure and a certain designer dress propelled her to stardom.
And last night Elizabeth Hurley revealed that her amazing gravity-defying cleavage still has what it takes.
All eyes were on the former actress and model as she attended a fundraising dinner organised by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana.
Dressed in a plunging black beaded gown, Elizabeth, 44, appeared to defy the laws of gravity.

The mother of one needed no help to pick the perfect outfit from friend Trinny Woodall, also in attendance, as she showed off her curves in a daring black gown.
The dress brought back echoes of her headline-grabbing debut in a black safety-pinned Versace gown back in 1994.
Her striking appearance which made Elizabeth the star at the premiere of then boyfriend Hugh Grant's film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The dinner, in aid of Women's Aid, was organised by Tana and Gordon Ramsay, who are patrons of the charity.

St Tropez holiday for Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar.... and Hugh Grant makes three
Liz Hurley and husband Arun Nayar met up with the model's former boyfriend Hugh Grant in St Tropez yesterday.
The trio dined at the exclusive Club 55 beach restaurant with a group of friends, including Sir Elton John's partner David Furnish, before heading off for a cruise on the seas.
Grant and Hurley dated for 13 years and have remained the best of friends since their split in 2000.
The 47-year-old actor is godfather to her son Damian - from a brief relationship with Hollywood producer Steve Bing - and is often pictured with Hurley and her new businessman husband.
Hurley, 43, has previously described the three men as the centre of her world, saying: 'If I’m alone with Hugh, Arun and Damian, I can turn off my cell phone…No-one else really matters.'
Meanwhile, Hurley recently announced she will be starring in a new reality TV show about her life on her farm in Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
Of the new show, she says: 'People always imagine me with perfect hair. But that’s not who I am.'
'The first time he saw me in the country, my husband found me in wellies, covered in mud.'

Liz Hurley and my husband... by wife of the co-star she got close to
When Liz Hurley was dogged by rumours of an affair with American actor and comedian Denis Leary, the co-stars were quick to insist they were ‘just good friends’.
Now, a novel written by Leary’s wife has revived the rumours, with one character appearing to be a thinly-disguised version of the Estee Lauder model.
Ann Leary’s book Out-Takes From A Marriage features a glamorous actress who wears skimpy see-through dresses to parties, dates only billionaires and flirts outrageously with her co-star.
Ms Hurley famously wore a revealing Versace safety-pin dress to the premiere of Four Weddings And A Funeral and later had a son with billionaire Steve Bing.
There were reports of an ‘intimate dinner’ she had with Leary in 2001 after her break-up with Bing. Now she is married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar - worth a comparatively modest £13million.
Mrs Leary, who remains happily married to her husband of 19 years, insists that any similarity between her novel’s character and her ‘good friend Elizabeth’ is entirely coincidental.
But she has admitted using her experiences as the wife of a celebrity in her novel - Leary has even accompanied her to book signings.
In the story, Julia Ferraro accidentally finds a suggestive voicemail message from a woman left for her husband Joe, a TV actor. Julia stalks Joe to discover who the woman is and finds several candidates including Susanna Mercer, an Australian actress.
At first, Julia rules out Susanna but then the actress invites the couple to a party at her home. Mrs Leary writes how Susanna wears a see-through dress showing off her ‘flawless’ body and ‘firmly uplifted breasts’.
When the wife visits the two actors filming in Mexico, she discovers Susanna has persuaded her husband to go on a carb-free diet. Ms Hurley, 43, went on a similar diet before her wedding last year to Nayar.
Leary, 50, is one of Ms Hurley’s closest friends and is godfather to her six-year-old son Damian. He helped her get roles in two films they starred in together – Bad Boy and Double Whammy.
He has spoken fondly of their long nights chatting in Manhattan bars. He said: ‘Mutual friends kept saying, “You guys should hook up, you’d get on really well”. The truth is, she’s got a lot of Irish blood in her, like a lot of the girls I grew up with, and the first time we met, we ended up in one of my favourite Irish bars in New York, talking music trivia.’
Mrs Leary, 46, said in a recent interview that the fictional couple were not based on her and her husband.
However the actor, Joe, is nominated for a TV award, just like her husband who has been up for two Emmys. And Susanna runs her own film production company – just like Ms Hurley’s Simian Films.
Mrs Leary told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I can see how people would think I was talking about our dear friend Elizabeth. But in fact Susanna was a small character I created, who was not based on Elizabeth Hurley at all.’
Neither Mr Leary nor Ms Hurley had any comment to make.
Her flimsy gown was eyecatching. A body that appeared flawless and was plainly visible to all.'
'Her breasts managed to stay uplifted without the benefit of a bra.'
'She will only date billionaires... She has her own film company.'

Liz Hurley upstages the bride AGAIN as she steps out in a canary yellow dress
Elizabeth Hurley managed to upstage the bride AGAIN yesterday as she stepped out in a stunning canary yellow dress and an over-sized cartwheel hat.
The 42-year-old looked the image of perfection as she left her London home today for the wedding of society writer William Cash and Venezuela-born socialite Vanessa Neumann.
While Hurley opted for summer brights, husband Arun Nayar and son Damian - who was a pageboy at the ceremony - opted for the more toned down shades of black and white.
Ahead of her wedding to former Spectator writer Cash at Westminster Palace, 'the Cracker from Caracas' attempted to settle her pre-wedding nerves by smoking in her bridal gown.
Cash, who claimed he is dramatically poorer after his 2007 divorce from Bulgari heiress Ilaria Bulgar, proposed to Neumann on New Year's Day in the exclusive Caribbean island of Mustique.
The 41-year-old son of Eurosceptic MP Bill Cash proposed to Neumann, 35, during a tropical storm.
Cash said: 'We were on our way to meet friends at the Firefly restaurant when I spontaneously proposed in the rain. It was rather romantic. Thank goodness she said yes.'
Neumann had a high-profile affair with Rolling Stone Sir Mick Jagger in 1999 and broke off her engagement to Scottish landowner William Stirling - who also proposed in Mustique - in 2004.
Hurley famously upstage the bride at her friend Henry Dent-Brocklehurst's 1998 marriage to Hawaiian model Lili Maltese.
Hurley wore a slashed-to-the-waist red dress that clearly showed off her leopard-print knickers.

Liz Hurley is back in a bikini at 42 but only after striking a deal with the airbrushers
Not so long ago she declared that she was done with bikinis.
Never again, Elizabeth Hurley said, would she sit eating lunch on a boat in a skimpy two-piece.
The same went for tripping around the beach in a bikini top and skirt with her midriff showing.
But as these pictures indicate, Miss Hurley will relax the rules under certain conditions.
Firstly, it must be in her best business interests, such as helping to launch a series of her own swimwear designs in a diffusion range for the High Street store Mango.
And there must - read must - be an airbrush involved.
In an interview to accompany these photographs in the Sunday Times Style magazine, the model and businesswoman conceded that "shooting bikinis is now my life".
She said: "I can't think of anything worse in the world than another bikini shoot - and I've got two next month.
It's unbearable and I bring it all on myself. I've got nobody else to blame."
But, she revealed, she now relies on "nice photographers" and a little digital enhancement.
"I like a certain amount of retouching like anybody," she admitted.
Even if they have been airbrushed a little, the photos suggest that Miss Hurley, 42, has made good on her promise to "go to ground and annoy everyone by emerging thinner, sexier and mentally cleansed".
She made that vow in an interview in 2005, at the same time as she spoke of instituting her bikini ban.
Miss Hurley, a mother of one, revealed that when she looked in the mirror she saw "a person who eats too much junk food and doesn't exercise. That has sadly become my reality over the past year".
Commenting on one of her own designs for Elizabeth Hurley Beach, she said her days of wearing a towelling miniskirt, bikini top and flip-flops were over.
"I don't feel comfortable doing that any more," she said. "As the years go by you do feel less confident about your body."
Miss Hurley is not afraid to follow strict diets when she needs to drop weight fast.
Her regime after the birth of son Damian, now six, was punishing, she said at the time.
"I did it by eating very little breakfast and not too much lunch.
"And only boring snacks such as a banana or six raisins. The only meal I have is dinner."
She lost four stone, and was back in her trademark white jeans within three months of Damian's birth.
