Elizabeth Hurley welcomed the New Year the only way she knows how — bold, glamorous, and unapologetically fun. The actor-model rang in 2026 with a James Bond–themed party that blended old-school spy vibes with her signature flair, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
A 007-inspired start to the year
Hurley took to Instagram to share snapshots from the New Year’s Eve celebration, which featured sleek Bond-style décor and playful nods to the iconic franchise. “Starting 2026 with a bang,” she wrote, perfectly summing up the mood of the night.
Staying true to the theme, the 60-year-old turned heads in a striking white lingerie set paired with a faux pistol belt, a fluffy white coat, and statement earrings. One of the most talked-about moments? Hurley posing confidently alongside a cut-out of Daniel Craig, channeling full Bond energy.
Billy Ray Cyrus joins the party
Joining her for the celebration was boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus, marking yet another public moment for the couple since they officially confirmed their romance last year. The two first crossed paths while filming a Christmas movie in 2022 but only reconnected romantically after Cyrus’ divorce in 2024.
They hard-launched their relationship in April 2025 with a kissing photo on Instagram — a move that surprised many but clearly signaled they were serious.
A stylish family affair
The party also included Hurley’s son, Damian Hurley, who matched the night’s dramatic energy with a sleek black outfit featuring leather pants, a low-rise top, and a sparkling cross necklace. Damian even posed with his mother, adding a sweet personal touch to the glamorous evening.
Friends and guests quickly filled the comments section with praise. Michelle Visage summed up the general reaction perfectly, marveling at how incredible Hurley looked, while Damian called it “the best night.”
A romance that keeps getting stronger
Since making their relationship public, Hurley and Cyrus have remained largely unbothered by outside skepticism. Insiders previously shared that the two had been quietly together for months before going public, adding that while they may seem like an unexpected pairing, their connection is genuine and strong.
Final words
Between the Bond theme, fearless fashion, and a loved-up appearance with Billy Ray Cyrus, Elizabeth Hurley’s New Year celebration felt like a confident statement — she’s happy, glowing, and doing things her own way. And if this is how she’s starting 2026, it’s safe to say she’s entering the year fully in control of her spotlight.
