An outfit that we still remember! Liz and her legendary dress
June 10 is the birthday of one of the main sеx symbols of the nineties — Elizabeth Hurley. The actress is 58 years old, and she became famous not only for her bright roles, but also for her bold outfits. In honor of the holiday, we remember Liz’s iconic exit, thanks to which she woke up popular.
«Invisible» nineties
In the early 1990s, Elizabeth Hurley was far from popular. She was known only thanks to her role in the movie «Passenger 57» and Hugh Grant, who was the lover of a rising star. In 1994, the couple was invited to the premiere of the film «Four Weddings and a Funeral»
— Liz did not take part in the filming, but simply accompanied Hugh during the event. Then she faced an important task — to choose a decent outfit for a spectacular exit with Grant. But at that time, Elizabeth experienced difficulties with her decision — almost no one knew the girl, and she received only refusals from fashion houses.
Accidents are not accidental
After numerous «no» Elizabeth and her PR agent ended up in the office of Versace. There they found only one maxi — the rest of the collection was taken to the shooting.
The actress took the last velvet dress without the slightest hesitation, not knowing that it would become iconic. They say that Liz liked Gianni Versace himself, and he gave the outfit to the girl absolutely free.
The aspiring actress did not understand fashion and had no idea how to style a bow according to the canons of that time. She later admitted that she did her hair and makeup on her own.
triumphant appearance
Then everyone waited with bated breath for the appearance of Hugh Grant on the red carpet. But as soon as the star couple appeared before photographers and spectators, all attention was paid not at all to the actor, but to his little-known passion.
Sеxy velvet maxi, which sat exactly on the figure of Liz, became a magnet for looks. A deep V-shaped neckline emphasized the girl’s chest, fragile collarbones and fragile shoulders.
But the main piquant detail of the dark dress was not the neckline, but the high slits — they were fastened with large gold-plated safety pins.
morning after
Elizabeth Hurley literally woke up famous. «Random» Versace dress and loud exit made Liz popular all over the world. The black maxi with huge pins has become a cult classic, and for more than 20 years this look has been called one of the most spectacular bows of the actress.
After the high-profile exit of the British, many celebrities dreamed of trying on such a seductive dress. So, for example, Lady Gaga in 2012 put on the same outfit for a meeting with Donatella Versace.
By the way, Elizabeth recently appeared in a similar Versace maxi. True, the pins were located in front. The actress decided to repeat her triumph and, I must admit, her second exit turned out to be as memorable as the first.
