Think pink! Elizabeth Hurley continues to use her wardrobe to raise awareness for breast cancer and slips on snakeskin dress



They say charity begins at home and Elizabeth Hurley has come up with a stylish way to help those in need.
The actress has been raising awareness for breast cancer by stepping out in pink ensembles.
On Tuesday she attended an event to celebrate Estee Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign in Toronto, Canada.

The 47-year-old chose a magenta snakeskin print halter-neck dress which showed off her enviable legs.
She teamed the themed frock with a matching miniature box clutch and black peep toe pumps.
For years, the model has been an avid campaigner for the cause.
So she was happy to do her bit and spoke on stage during the evening, which was held at The Bay.
While she was in great spirits at the bash Liz was a little tired afterwards and ready to catch up on her sleep.

The Gossip Girl star posted on Twitter: ‘Exhausted! Falling into bed after excellent media event at The Bay in Toronto. Will be back in the store at midday tomorrow to sign product.’
It is the 20th anniversary of the campaign and prior to jetting to Toronto she was in New York for another celebration.
On Monday she turned the Empire State Building pink as part of the campaign, lighting it up after addressing the crowd.
Although it's not the first time she's turned up at the iconic landmark to illuminate it a shade of pink.

The spokesmodel has tirelessly been campaigning to improve awareness of the disease over the last few years and has previously turned the lights pink before.
Hurley has previously said of the important drive: 'My maternal grandmother died of breast cancer just before I started working with Evelyn and Estee Lauder and so, as soon as she asked me to help, it seemed like the perfect fit because she was one of the ladies that we really had tried to get past all that because she was scared of her breast cancer. She wouldn't tell anyone that she had a lump.
'So that's really what has inspired us to now really spread the word, so that breast cancer is not a dirty word anymore.'
A number of iconic across London were turned pink for the 'Turn London Landmarks Pink' to mark the start of breast cancer awareness month in October, including the Tower of London, HMS Belfast and Somerset House.
