Elizabeth Hurley’s Versace “Safety Pin Dress” Voted Best Red Carpet Dress of All Time

Jennifer Lopez, Gwyneth Paltrow, Keira Knightley & Halle Berry Make Top 20 List of Iconic Dresses

Hollywood events are all about the red carpet moment. You might not remember the movies that Jennifer Lopez, Julia Roberts or Gwyneth Paltrow were in, but you definitely remember the dresses they wore that “shut it down” on the Tinseltown catwalk. But after the dutifully paparazzi-document moment in the pages of People, not many have the fashion fortitude to eclipse the “Best Dressed” list and become one of THE iconic red carpet dresses of all time. In Joan and Melissa Rivers’ best-of-the-best red carpet mode, leading UK department store Debenhams compiled a poll to find out the all-time greatest red carpet gowns.

For better or worse, it is probably one of the most famous little black dresses ever. Thanks to Versace and their little black dress that was barely held together by large gold safety pins, Elizabeth Hurley’s star never shone so brightly as when she walked the red carpet with then-boyfriend Hugh Grant at the 1994 premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral. The S&M-inspired little number that shot the “Bedazzled” star to fame was voted as the most iconic red carpet dress of all time. Cher was robbed! Besides, is there even enough fabric for it to be considered a “dress?”

A spokeswoman for Debenhams said: “Liz Hurley’s daring safety pin dress is one of the most famous black dresses worn on the red carpet, which made her a household name overnight. Our research shows how iconic the dresses worn on the red carpet have become with many of the stars making headlines from their outfits.”

A copy of the bare-to-there dress sold at luxury mecca Harrods last year for almost $20,000 as part of their Timeless Luxury, Little Black Dress exhibit. We’re just dying to know if “Pimps Up, Ho’” Down Divine Brown has a Versace knock-off for those “I did a very bad thing,” customer requests. Oh, snap!

Estee Lauder cover girl Hurley paired her very LBD with a black, closed-toe sling-back. Very curiously Amish given the flesh on parade. A dress that super sexy needs a shiny, slightly slutty shoe-and we mean that in a good way. Like these Manolo Blahnik gold ankle-wrap sequined sandals.

The rest of the “Best of the Red Carpet,” include:

2. Audrey Hepburn: white, belted flower patterned Givenchy dress, Oscars (1954)
3. Julia Roberts: black vintage Valentino dress, Oscars (2001)
4. Catherine Zeta-Jones: red Versace dress, Oscars (1999)
5. Jennifer Lopez: plunging sheer green Versace dress, Grammys (2000)
6. Keira Knightley: dark plum Vera Wang one shouldered dress, Oscars (2006)
7. Kate Winslet: red one shoulder flower strap gown by Ben de Lisi gown, Oscars (2002)
8. Halle Berry: Elie Saab net and embroidery topped dress, Oscars (2002)
9. Bjork: outrageous swan dress designed by Marjan Pejoski; Oscars (2001)
10. Kate Moss: vintage ripped Christian Dior gold satin gown, The Golden Age Of Couture VIP Gala, V & A Museum (2007)

11. Reese Witherspoon: knee length strapless yellow dress designed by Oliver Theyskens for Nina Ricci, Golden Globes (2007)
12. Cindy Crawford: Versace red plunge dress, Oscars (1991)
13. Gwyneth Paltrow: pink Ralph Lauren gown, Oscars (1999)

How Freaking Cute is Coco Rocha?

So Young, So Svelte… Such Great taste in Shoes!

Coco Rocha first made it onto our radar with her summer Neiman Marcus ads. She’s a British Columbia-born supermodel and definitely worth keeping tabs on. She recently turned up to attend the Accessories Council Host 12th Annual ACE Awards at Cirpriani in New York in some pretty gorgeous silk platfom wedges.

Coco Rocha has come a long way since she found herself doing an Irish jig down the Jean Paul Gaultier runway a couple of seasons ago. In a time in fashion where fresh faced models are just as easily forgotten as what they’ve been eating, Coco has managed to navigate this picky industry and transform herself into a very hot commodity.

Just ask Anna Wintour. The editor-in-chief has put the Canadian in practically every issue of Vogue since Coco’s first appearance back in 2006.

Check out these super cute wedges at ShoeCompare and pair with your sweetest little black dress.

Coco knows how to walk off with free fashion after working it on the runway. So much so that she should be the new face of Aldo. The beauty gives Aldo a plug in a piece with NYT.

“I was in a frenzy there the other day. They had all these cute new styles. The salesgirls were like, ‘You’re Coco!” I was like, “Shhh, I’m not really buying all these shoes.” But I believe if you see something you like and it’s cheap, by all means get it. Just don’t do it head to toe. Carry an expensive bag.”
