We all remember Elizabeth Hurley’s amazing safety pin dress right? Well Donatella Versace will never forget.

Twenty-five years later, the designer is sharing her reaction to the iconic look in a new interview with InStyle, as part of their “25 Most Iconic Dresses of the Red Carpet” feature. 

Donatella revealed how Elizabeth ended up in the black-and-gold gown at the Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994 when she was dating Hugh Grant.

“I know, you’d expect something more interesting behind one of the most famous red-carpet dresses in history,” she told InStyle. “But as for many things, chance played a big role in making it all happen.”

The night before the premiere, the designer got a request from the actress who needed a dress for the event. By chance, the safety-pin dress was available.

“No one could really fathom such an astonishing reaction, or that Liz would steal the spotlight from everyone else,” she added.
