If anyone thought Elizabeth Hurley was done surprising red carpets, she quickly proved otherwise. Revisiting a standout night from earlier this year, the actress reflected on receiving the Impact Icon of the Year honor — and reminded everyone that she still knows exactly how to command attention.
The recognition came from the Sunday Times Style Beauty Awards, where Hurley was celebrated for her decades-long advocacy in breast cancer awareness. Instead of leaning into her usual body-hugging silhouettes, she opted for a dramatic, Barbie-inspired pink gown that marked a bold shift in style.
The dress itself did most of the talking. Crafted in vivid hot pink chiffon, it featured a striking chest cutout that plunged far below the neckline, balanced by a high mock neck that added contrast and tension. The sleeves — wide, flared, and slit open from shoulder to wrist — divided opinion instantly, making the look impossible to overlook.
While the fitted bodice hugged her frame, the skirt softened the drama with flowing pleats that spilled to the floor. Hurley appeared on the carpet alongside her son Damian, the two mirroring each other so closely that fans once again commented on their uncanny resemblance.
Styling stayed firmly within the same color story. Hurley paired the gown with a structured pink handbag, matching lipstick, and subtle sparkle via diamond stud earrings. Her hair fell in smooth, center-parted waves, framing her face, while her signature eyeliner and luminous highlighter completed the polished finish.
Sharing photos from the evening, Hurley expressed gratitude for the award and reflected on her long-standing role as Global Ambassador for the Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign — a position she has held for three decades.
The look wasn’t just about fashion. It was a statement: celebratory, fearless, and unapologetically bold. Once again, Elizabeth Hurley proved that honoring a serious cause doesn’t mean dimming the drama — sometimes, it means turning the volume all the way up.
