Hurley was accompanied by her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant, who on the time was cementing his identify as British performing royalty, recent from turns in “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill.” Yet regardless of solely having starred in “Austin Powers,” Hurley, by no means one to fade into the background, was already accruing a string of seismic pink carpet appearances that put her on the map far past being Grant’s girlfriend.
While some prime designers initially refused to dress the lesser-known mannequin and actress within the early years of the last decade, Versace had change into a devoted go-to. The trend home supplied Hurley with robes which have since gone down in trend historical past — from the risqué safety pin dress worn in 1994 to the chainmail robe of 1999, now revived by Jenner.

And though Jenner — like Hurley — is relationship one of the crucial well-known actors of our time, there was, in fact, no danger of her being caught in Chalamet’s shadow. The magnificence and trend mogul’s starpower extends far past whoever she is romantically linked with — and by slipping on the historic Versace dress, Jenner aligned herself with considered one of Hollywood’s trend trailblazers.
