Elizabeth Hurley Still Fits Into Her Iconic 'Versace' Dress From 1994

Elizabeth Hurley looks stunning in a shoot from the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on newsstands March 26.

In the issue, the 53-year-old actress recreates her iconic Versace pin gown, which she originally wore to the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994. Here’s what she had to say:

On the night where she first wore the Versace pin gown: “I was so unprepared for what happened that night. I urgently needed to find a dress to wear for Hugh’s premiere, and in those days I had no idea about fashion. I remember going to an office where they literally fished a dress out of a white plastic bag. I took it home and did my own hair and makeup, fighting Hugh for the mirror, which wasn’t even full-length, in our tiny one-bedroom flat. It was all very unglamorous compared to how things get done these days.”

On how it feels to remember that evening: “Like a time revisited with affection. Back then I didn’t think too deeply about anything. I followed my jobs with a Samsonite suitcase, shoot to shoot, movie to movie.”

On maintaining her figure: “I don’t exercise, but I am very active. But just because it still fits doesn’t mean I would wear it today — it wouldn’t be appropriate!”
