Thirty-two years ago a black Versace dress held together with safety pins launched Elizabeth Hurley to superstardom.
And three decades on from one of the most iconic red carpet moments of the Nineties, Gigi Hadid has paid tribute to fashion history.
The model wears the same Versace dress on the cover of the latest issue of EE72 magazine – the fashion publication founded by former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and his sister, Akua.
In a photography spread headlined 'Made in the 90s' Hadid, who wasn't even born when Hurley debuted the Versace dress, teams the precariously-pinned piece with sky-high heels, bedhead locks and heavily-lined eyes.
In more shots by British photographer Craig McDean, Gigi pays tribute to another famous nineties brand – Calvin Klein, wearing CK briefs peeking out under jeans.
Meanwhile, Nineties icon Cindy Crawford, 60, adds yet another magazine cover to her roster, posing in a black bra and open shirt for photographer Peter Lindbergh.

Back in 1994, Hurley donned the £3,000 dress as a total unknown, just hours before her boyfriend Hugh Grant's Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere
Lindbergh famously shot the 1990 cover for British Vogue which brought future supermodels Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Tatjana Patitz together for the first time.
Back in 1994, Hurley managed to borrow the £3,000 Versace dress as a total unknown, just hours before her then-boyfriend Hugh Grant's Four Weddings And A Funeral premiere.
Speaking in a Disney+ Vogue documentary in 2024, the model spoke about the risque dress: 'I must have been photographed 800,000 billion times that night. The next day we were on the front page of every newspaper, we were like, "What the hell is this?"
'I remember I was just looking at it thinking, "What?". Then going, "Well it was actually a pretty daring dress wasn't it?".'
And on how she came to wear such a huge designer, she explained: 'I knew I had to have a dress and somebody said "I know someone who's got a PR firm and they might be able to help you."
