8Elizabeth Jane Hurley (born 10 June 1965 in Basingstoke, England), more generally known as Liz Hurley, is a British actress and model. She has been associated with the cosmetics company Estée Lauder since 1995, when they gave Hurley her first modelling job at the age of 29. Since then they have featured her as a representative and model for their products, especially perfumes such as Sensuous, Intuition, and Pleasures.

10As an actress, her best-known film roles to date have been as Vanessa Kensington in Creator/MikeMyers' hit spy comedy, ''Film/AustinPowers: International Man of Mystery'' (1997), and as the Devil in the remake of ''Film/{{Bedazzled|2000}}'' (2000). From 2015 to 2018 she starred in the Creator/{{E}} original drama series ''Series/TheRoyals''.

12Hurley was a working actress in Britain but wasn't especially well-known until, in 1994, she wore a ''very'' revealing [[UsefulNotes/GianniVersace Versace]] dress to the premiere of her then-boyfriend Creator/HughGrant's film ''Film/FourWeddingsAndAFuneral''. Hurley wasn't even in the film, but she and the dress (or, as the [[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers papers]] called it, "That Dress") stole the show and became a worldwide sensation -- and a defining moment for Gianni Versace's career as well as her own.
