Top 20 Most Iconic Red Carpet Dresses

Liz Hurley’s safety-pin dress has been voted the greatest red carpet gown of all time in a Debenhams poll of 3000 women.

The model-and-actress wore the revealing Versace number for the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral, which starred her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant.

Here is the rest of the list:


1. Elizabeth Hurley: Versace 'safety pin' dress, Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere (1994)

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 embroidered dress, Oscars (2002)


9. Bjork: Swan dress designed by Marjan Pejoski Oscars (2001)

10. Kate Moss: vintage Christian Dior champagne 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)

14. Charlize Theron: pale blue Christian Dior ruffle dress, Oscars (2005)


15. Penelope Cruz: pink strapless feathered Versace dress, Oscars (2007)

16. Hilary Swank: navy blue backless Guy Laroche dress, Oscars (2005)


17. Gisele: White Christian Dior strapless dress, Oscars (2005)

18. Cher: Bob Mackie’s sheer art deco-inspired creation, Oscars (1987)

19. Renee Zellwegger: pastel yellow strapless Lily et Cie dress, Oscars (2001)

20. Uma Thurman: red Alberta Ferretti Gown, Oscars (2000)


I agree with most of this poll of iconic dresses, but I would exclude Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Gisele Bündchen, and replace them with Michelle Williams (Vera Wang), Cate Blanchett (Valentino) and Nicole Kidman (John Galliano).
