While in her teens, she became involved with punk fashion, dying her hair pink and piercing her nose. "When I was 16 – this was about 1981, 1982 – the thing to be in Basingstoke, the suburb I grew up in, was punk," she explained. She also reportedly associated with the New Age Travellers in her youth.In 1995, with no prior modeling experience, Hurley was introduced as an Estée Lauder spokesmodel.
