Elizabeth Hurley keeps her figure by banning fruit after 4pm

By Andrea Petrou on April 12th, 2011

Elizabeth Hurley refuses to eat raw fruits and vegetables after 4pm.

The 45-year-old actress is famed for her stunning figure and says she maintains it by being quite strict with her diet although often falls “by the wayside”.

She said: “I’ve never been in danger of losing too much weight. I do watch what I eat and try to eat healthily but I frequently fall by the wayside. Right now, I’m drinking protein shakes mid morning and I think they really help. I also don’t eat raw fruits and vegetables after 4pm and follow a low-fat diet with very little dairy.”

Although Elizabeth – who has her own beachwear collection – is slim enough to flaunt her figure in bikinis, she now feels more comfortable wearing swimming costumes.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I certainly love everything we produce, but we sell a lot to women both younger and older than me. I often wear one pieces now, but they’re really sexy ones, with chains and crystals. I still dread the thought of shooting bikinis and we actually used a fabulous young Brazilian model this time too. Her body is amazing – she’s 20 years younger than me!”

Everyone went crazy for Stella McCartney's tropical fruit-printed dresses and blazers - this copycat version from Very.co.uk is an absolute steal.

Spring is definitely, finally here (I wish for good) and it’s time to ditch our fail-safe slouchy black sweaters and leggings for something a bit more cheerful. And what better to celebrate this gloriously unexpected weather with but some eye-wateringly pretty prints, just crying out to be worn in the rare British sunshine?

There were prints as far as the eye could see at the Spring/Summer 2011 catwalks. Breathtakingly pretty and feminine florals at Erdem, both seen on prints and stitched onto hand-made lace, shockingly bright leaf-prints at House of Holland, a sumptiously tropical offering from Stella McCartney of dress and separates printed with images of fruit.. I could go on.

Fashion prints have never been so sexy, so carefree, fun and happy, and the wonderful thing is that the high-street has wisely cottoned on to this. In the gallery above is our very favourite printed pieces available from the high street right now – so get stuck right in. This is a trend that excludes absolutely no one – all you need is the confidence to wear something eye-grabbing and fun, and there’s a piece out there to suit absolutely everyone.
