St. Tropez beachside glamour arrived in the picturesque Kildare countryside with the launch of Elizabeth Hurley’s first guest beachwear boutique in Ireland.


The glamour puss herself celebrated the opening of her Elizabeth Hurley Beach Boutique at Kildare Village with a ribbon cutting ceremony and was on hand to help customers choose their perfect beachwear wardrobe.

To commemorate the launch, Liz donated 100% of sales of a special Pink Bikini to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation & Professor John Crown’s Cancer Clinical Research Trust in Ireland. Among the guests joining Prof. Crown were Glenda Gilson, model Roz Lipsett, editor of UK Tatler (and Mrs. AA Gill) Nicola Formby, Maria McGovern and Brendan and Karen Morrissey.


The boutique, which will be a central feature among the fashion stores that line the open air promenade of the Village, also exclusively stocks Cutler & Gross sunglasses and Philip Treacy hats and will be open throughout the summer.
