How “That Dress” Started The Barely -There Trend at Red Carpets

-

 Ever wondered how the red carpet fashion became scandalously revealing and sexy? Before JLo’s2000 green Versace silk chiffon gown at the Grammy Awards, or Zoe Kravitz Met Gala lace dress that was held together by two bows, and so many other women and even men who flaunted the barely-there trend,there was Elizabeth Hurley’s 1994 Safety Pin Black Versace Dress. Yes, “that dress” that started it all!


In 1994, 29-year-old Hurley flaunted it on the red carpet premiere as Hugh Grant’s then-unknown date at the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral.  The risque dress was held together by novelty size golden safety pins and had a wide-open front from the neck down to halfway across the bosom.

Versace was the only one who agreed to loan her the dress in their racks. It must have been fate that both of them would help each other out to become household names.

And that’s the story of “that dress” that started the risque red carpet trend.

The Dress that Changed Red Carpet Fashion Forever

-
The 80s and the 90s red carpet fashion trend was modest yet classy.  However, there were the likes of Cher who preferred wearing individualistic and revealing clothing like her Las Vegas showgirl attire. But who would have known that one Versace dress would combine both classy yet revealing and turn it into a new style trend thus changing red carpet fashion forever. When Elizabeth Hurley was just a young unknown actress, she wore a controversially skimpy but innovative dress at a 1994 movie premiere. It was a silk and lycra black Versace dress that featured a revealing neckline, slimline straps, and cut-away parts on the sides that were each held together with one gold Medusa's head safety pin at the bust, as well as six tactically placed safety pins along the bodice. The iconic nature of that dress is lasting and prompted the Naked Look Trend which still has followers hoping to show more skin but posh.   Written By Cecille Manchera Gultiano  May 6, 2021

Fashion is a Major Part of our Lives

-
What we wear, how we look different from each other, our vast jargon and multiple lifestyles are things that are eternal and popular. From the togas of the Romans to Generation Z’s aesthetics, fashion is ever-changing, useful against the elements, and expressive. The importance of fashion varies on places, people, and needs. But the number one fans of fashion will always be the young people. Being a teenager or a young adult is the best first time for healthy expression. To tell the whole world for the first time who you are by what you wear, how you talk, and how you live. You can see all types of recent and various fashion styles on social media such as on Instagram and Tik-Tok. The world is glamorous because of fashion and it is made possible by glamorous and expressive people of all ages.   Written by Cecille Manchera Gultiano May 6, 2021
