Gigi Hadid Channels Elizabeth Hurley's Iconic Versace Moment

Gigi Hadid recently appeared on the cover of 72 Magazine, donning an iconic archival Versace Couture gown. This striking black silk and lycra dress, originally debuted by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994, is notable for its bold design held together by large gold safety pins. The gown features a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, embodying a sultry chic aesthetic.

Hurley first wore the memorable Versace creation to the premiere of "Four Weddings And A Funeral" in May 1994, a moment that significantly propelled her into stardom. Reflecting on the dress in 2024, Hurley described it as daring yet surprisingly secure, comparing its feel to wearing a comfortable bathrobe. She noted the intricate construction ensured everything stayed in place.

Versace recalled that Hurley's request for the dress came just the night before the premiere, and its impact was astonishing, with Hurley stealing the spotlight. The magazine also featured another archival look, with model Anok Yai wearing a Gucci Fall/Winter 1995 ensemble originally worn by Madonna to the 1995 MTV Awards.
