Elizabeth Hurley Revives Her Iconic 1999 Met Gala Dress 27 Years Later
Elizabeth Hurley enjoyed a nostalgic fashion moment.
The 60-year-old actress dazzled in the same vintage Versace dress she wore in 1999 during a “weekend adventure in India.” On Monday, March 9, she shared on Instagram not only the dress but also highlights from her weekend. Her stunning gown featured a plunging neckline with halter straps, a fitted skirt, and a daring thigh-high slit. It was adorned with pink and orange jewels that elegantly encircled her defined waist.
For accessories, the model chose a diamond bracelet and a silver pendant necklace, finishing her look with dangling earrings and a bindi jewel on her forehead.
In terms of glam, the Gossip Girl alum showcased a complete makeup look including smoky eyeshadow, dewy foundation, rosy cheeks, and luscious pink glossy lips. Her caramel hair was styled in soft curls, parted down the middle.
“India has been a significant part of my life for over 20 years, and I treasure every moment spent in this amazing country 🇮🇳,” she wrote in her post. “What a wonderful first night back in paradise, reuniting with some of my favorite people! ♥️. Wearing a @versace dress from my archive, which I last wore 27 years ago to the [1999] Met Gala 😳.”
In another post, Hurley shared a side-by-side comparison of herself in the dress now and nearly three decades ago. “Viva Versace!” she captioned the photo. “For this weekend’s adventure in India, I revisited my archives and found one of my favorite pieces, which I last wore to the Met Gala in 1999 😳 27 years may have passed, but some loves never fade💋.” Her celebrity friends showered praise in the comments.
“😘💥✨,” commented Donatella Versace, while her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus, added “❤️❤️❤️.” Elizabeth’s son, Damian Hurley, also chimed in, saying, “Hell yeaaaaaa ❤️.”
When she graced the star-studded event years ago, Elizabeth let the dress take center stage with minimal jewelry. She carried a sequined bag and opted for soft makeup, styling her hair with big, voluminous curls that were parted to the side.
