  • Story Text: Liz Hurley's arrival in Cannes was not inspired by the red carpet of its annual film festival. Instead she was lured by the glamorous beaches that line the Croisette to launch her latest swimwear collection.
    "I know it's a little retro coming to Cannes in bikinis and I've only ever been here with movies before but I just thought if I was going to do my very first sort of presentation ever with bikinis it should be at Cannes," forty year old Hurley told journalists.
    "I thought maybe London, maybe Milan, maybe New York, maybe France but you know what - Cannes - this is where girls used to come on the beaches in their bikinis so I thought maybe it was going to be a good crowd," she added.
    The launch took place at Nikki Beach in the exclusive resort town.
    The actress turned designer joined pop legend Elton John on stage at a ceremony held by luxury jeweller Chopped earlier in the week. They presented the Chopped Trophy to young Canadian actor Kevin Zegers, who co-starred in the film "Transamerica" with Felicity Huffman. But Elton John stole the show by erupting into a tirade against the media.
