Happy Birthday Elizabeth Hurley

She first rose to fame on the arm of Hugh Grant when she attended the premier of Four Weddings and a Funeral in ‘that dress', yes you know the one we mean – little and black, Versace and held together with safety pins. Unbelievably it's been 20 years since that occasion and the stunning fashionista turns just one year away from the big 5-0 today, and if we may say so, she's looking damn good! The Versace dress undoubtedly launched her career and only a year later she became the face of Estée Lauder, a partnership that would last for 16 years! As well as her modelling career she's even designed bed linen and of course she featured as Austin powers' sexy sidekick in the film Austin Powers: International man of mystery. And even as she turns 49 today, Hurley remains in the fashion spotlight. Known for her vivacious, fun loving style, she is not afraid to embrace a bit of colour and sparkle, although we love her best when she rocks a classic Little Black Dress!
