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

4.
Catherine Zeta-Jones: red

5.
Jennifer Lopez: plunging sheer green
Versace dress, Grammys (2000)
6.
Keira Knightley: dark plum
Vera Wang one shouldered dress, Oscars (2006)
7.

19.
Renee Zellwegger: pastel yellow strapless

20.

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).
