Since returning to the shores of Britain after a sun-soaked trip to the Maldives, Elizabeth Hurley has been a fixture on London's glamorous social circuit.

And it was business as usual for the actress on Wednesday night, when she put in an appearance at the London Poppy Day Dinner hosted by the City Veterans' Network.

The Royals star, 51, looked undeniably stunning as she made her way into the English capital's  Hurlingham Club wearing a sleeveless golden gown, complete with glittering embellishments.

British beauty Liz oozed glamour as she entered the dinner party in the head-turning number, which accentuated her taut curves and glowing tan.

Her lustrous brown locks rested about her shoulders in voluminous waves, while shining chandelier diamond earrings gave her look an extra touch of panache.

The star's choice of natural-looking makeup further accentuated her natural beauty, as she mingled with a host of guests, including Patrick Cox, and members of the military.

On Monday night, she proved to be the star attraction once again, when she attended the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year Awards.

The actress stunned in a pink lace midi dress that effortlessly hugged her lithe figure as she arrived at London's plush Claridge's hotel.

The mother-of-one looked chic in the fuchsia dress which featured a handkerchief hem and a semi-sheer high neckline.

Sticking to a pink theme, she toted a heavily embellished pink clutch with a heart motif on it.

Injecting a dose of sparkle, the Bedazzled actress rocked a pair of metallic barely there sandals that offset her deep tan.

Her glossy chestnut locks were styled in her signature middle parting, with loose waves gently framing her face.

Looking as youthful as ever, Elizabeth opted for a dewy pink blusher to complement her dress and heavy eyeliner.

Beaming as she strode along with designer Patrick Cox, the Austin Powers star seemed to be in high spirits as she made her way to the awards.
