Elizabeth Hurley is celebrating her dear friend and fashion designer Patrick Cox's birthday. Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the actress and model shared a throwback snap, plus a video from the time she dyed his hair brown in her back garden. "Happy Birthday to my best partner in crime @thepatrickcox - please let me torture you in my hair salon again soon," she joked in the caption. "Love you, P Face."
© InstagramFriends for over a decade, Elizabeth and Patrick frequently post about one another on social media, and they're also seasoned travel companions, having returned from India this month, where they celebrated Holi with makeup mogul Trinny Woodall and Liz's son, Damian Hurley. Assuring his BFF that a trip to the salon was off the table, Patrick replied: "NEVER AGAIN!!! But love you."
Among the comments, fans also remarked that Elizabeth, 60, looked "incredibly stunning" as she tended to Patrick's hair in a turquoise bikini. As the founder of her own beachwear brand, the Austin Powers star often models her two-pieces on social media, prompting questions about her fitness regime and diet.
Elizabeth Hurley's approach to fitness and diet
Back in 2024, the 60-year-old revealed her personal approach to fitness and dieting. "One question I get asked all the time is, 'How do you stay in shape?' and 'What do you eat?' So here goes. My mantra is: don't eat too much, too fast, too often or too late," the model wrote on Instagram.
"Or, put another way, eat smaller meals, chew properly, ban snacking and eat dinner earlier. This works for me. I don't drink weird green juices or shakes and only take supplements. If a blood test tells me I'm lacking something, I try to have vegetables or fruit equal half of every plate I eat - i.e., if I have a sandwich, I also eat an apple.
"I eat pretty much everything but only have junk food as an absolute treat - and I count junk food as anything that contains any ingredient that I don't have in my own kitchen, so that includes 'diet' and 'low-fat' everything, all ready meals, all bought sandwiches, cakes and biscuits and all sodas," Elizabeth continued.

I don't go to the gym or do any set exercise, but I'm extremely active. There endeth the sermon. Let me know if this makes sense for you."
