She has been an advocate for breast cancer awareness for more than twenty years. And Elizabeth Hurley certainly showed no signs of stopping on Monday, as she attended the 25th Anniversary of the Estee Lauder UK’s Breast Cancer Campaign in London.
The actress, 52, commemorated the special occasion in a fitting midi dress of the campaign’s famous hot pink hue, as she led the glamour at the star-studded bash, held at Winfield House.

The frock pulled into an illusion mesh neckline adorned with floral embroidery on each side, which gave a flash of her smooth skin underneath.
Pulling across her chest in a bardot cut, the dress then skimmed her enviably slender figure all the way to its demure knee-length hem, with its striking magenta hue.

Accessories are key: Maintaining her glamorous appearance from head to toe, Liz tied her look together with metallic heeled sandals and a delicate box clutch bag, of matching pink

Styling her hair into big, bouncy waves, the actress not only drew attention to her age-defying complexion – accentuated by lashings of mascara and a soft pink lip – but also her dazzling drop earrings, which featured a show-stopping pink diamond at the centre.
It is no wonder Liz took centre stage at the bash, having already attended the Make Your Mark ladies lunch, in honour of the cause, at the Savoy Hotel earlier that day.

The Austin Powers actress spoke this week about her commitment to the cause on NBC’s Megyn Kelly Today.
‘I lost my grandmother to breast cancer in the early ’90s,’ she explained. ‘I joined the Estée Lauder company a couple of years later, and Evelyn Lauder, who was Estée Lauder’s daughter-in-law, came up to me straight away and said, “I’ve just started this new campaign, would you help me?”‘

Leading lady: Liz happily chatted to guests at the bash, and signed a book in memory of those lost to the disease
Doing her bit: Liz was joined by a host of high-profile guests for the occasion – including Princess Eugenie of York (above)
‘I said, ‘Yes, yes, what is it?’ and she said, ‘Well, women all over the world are dying of breast cancer and nobody is talking about it. I want to change that.’
The company launched its Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and the pink ribbon shortly after – which is now a widely recognisable symbol for the fight against the disease.
‘At that time, there was no pink ribbon. Nobody spoke about breast cancer,’ she said.
Liz was joined by a host of high-profile guests for the occasion – including Princess Eugenie of York, former Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman and Camilla Kerslake, as well as a number of inspiring breast cancer survivors.
