Liz Hurley didn't see iconic dress until after headlines

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 15:37 · Archive

Liz Hurley has admitted she did not see her famous 1994 Versace dress in full until it made headlines the next day.

Liz Hurley wore a plunging black Versace dress to the London premiere of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' in 1994, attended with then-partner Hugh Grant. The dress was held together on the sides with oversized gold safety pins and quickly became known as 'that dress'. Wearing it is often considered one of the moments that catapulted Hurley to fame.

Hurley has now admitted she did not see the dress in full until it made headlines the next day. She told This Morning on Wednesday, October 7 that she did not have a full-length mirror in her flat at the time, so was unable to properly view the garment before the event. She said the dress was 'the first thing I'd ever borrowed'.

Speaking on the breakfast show, Hurley reflected on the dress's lasting impact. She said it 'made a lot of difference' in her life and was 'pretty amazing' that people still remember it and wear it decades later. Other notable figures have since worn the dress, including model Gigi Hadid on a magazine cover earlier this year. Hurley said she had 'absolutely no idea that people would talk about it 32 years later'.
