Elizabeth Hurley Enhances Her 1999 Met Gala Look with a Stunning $50,000 Diamond Necklace
Elizabeth Hurley Revives Iconic Versace Gown Nearly 30 Years After Debut
Actress Elizabeth Hurley recently showcased a striking piece from her wardrobe, bringing back a custom Versace gown nearly three decades after its initial appearance. Hurley first wore the dress at the 1999 Met Gala, a standout moment during the event’s "Rock Style" theme.
The black satin gown features a plunging halter neckline, a thigh-high slit, and a floral embellishment adorned with pink and orange jewels. Hurley reprised the iconic look during a recent trip to India, pairing the gown with a dazzling $49,400 Bulgari Serpenti pendant necklace, known for its signature snake motif.
Originally styled with minimal accessories, Hurley’s updated ensemble included a silver cuff bracelet and extravagant chandelier earrings, enhancing the gown’s timeless elegance. The necklace, featuring 2.07 carats of diamonds and sapphire accents, served as a stunning focal point.
In a nod to her 1999 appearance, Hurley maintained a similar hairstyle, opting for relaxed waves that complemented her classic look. The only visible sign of time’s passage was her choice of a modern center part, diverging from the side bangs she wore during the original gala.
Despite nearly three decades apart, Hurley’s revival of the gown emphasizes the enduring appeal of fashion and the ability to adapt timeless pieces for modern occasions.
