Elizabeth Hurley’s Red Hot Bodycon Look

Stepping out on the red carpet for The Inheritance premiere at The Ned, London, on Wednesday, August 6, Elizabeth Hurley delivered a look that was both an homage to her own legacy and a sharp, modern take on a millennial-loved silhouette. Posing with her beau, Billy Ray Cyrus, the Gossip Girl alum wore a scarlet figure-hugging dress that was, for lack of a better word, a statement. The twisted neckline, the long sleeves, the ruching that cascaded down the front—it was all very Hervé Léger, very of that early ’00s moment, but with a certain je ne sais quoi. It was elegant, it was daring, and it was undeniably… chic.

Now, I’ve seen my share of bodycon dresses. Back in the day, they were everywhere on the red carpet, and frankly, not always for the better. The look could be a bit… much. But Hurley’s take? It’s different. The ruching adds a layer of sophistication, a texture that elevates the piece beyond just a simple form-fitting dress. And the large cutout, baring her chest, is a brilliant play on proportion and peek-a-boo sensuality that feels more vintage Versace than high street. She paired the look with strappy gold heeled sandals and delicate, feather-inspired gold statement earrings, a subtle nod to the kind of effortless glamour that you see strolling down Via Montenapoleone. It’s all about the details, darling.
