Popsugar Fashion Celebrity Fashion Elizabeth Hurley's Sexiest Dresses on the Red Carpet We've Done the Research, and These Are the 36 Sexiest Dresses Elizabeth Hurley's Ever Worn 17 August 2020 by Sian Meades Image Source: Getty When it comes to looking sexy, Elizabeth Hurley knows how to pull out the big guns: classic smoky eyes, a bouncy blowout, and a fabulous, figure-hugging dress. She's come a long way since that Versace dress that put her firmly in the public eye, but the sultry look quickly became her trademark, and she's worn plenty more Versace showstoppers since. It doesn't matter if it's long or short, Liz has the perfect figure for a slinky dress, and she is not afraid to show it off (she rocks a bikini like a pro, too). She knows her colours: sometimes she'll pull out a monochrome classic, but she almost always goes for jewel colours and her trademark hot pink. She knows what she likes, and she knocks it out of the park every single time. Don't believe us? Take a look back at her sexiest red carpet moments over the years.
