In Versace and Louboutin Heels, Elizabeth Hurley Lights Empire State Building for Breast Cancer Awareness

In October 2014, Elizabeth Hurley turned heads while lighting up the Empire State Building in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, stunning in a form-fitting berry Versace dress and clear Christian Louboutin heels that blended fashion with purpose.

While Elizabeth Hurley is widely recognized for her fundraising efforts and as a global ambassador for The Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign, her film roles have portrayed a different side of her persona.

Not only did she portray the Devil in the 2000 American comedy film Bedazzled, but she was also singled out as a strikebreaker when she attended the movie’s premiere in October 2000.

Protesters demonstrated outside the movie theater in Hollywood, holding banners that read, “Elizabeth Scably, You Make Me Hurl,” “I Want to Hurl Liz Out of the Union,” and “Beauty Fades, Honor Doesn’t.”

Hurley filmed an Estée Lauder perfume ad during the commercial actors’ strike. Despite her repeated apologies and a $25,000 contribution to the Screen Actors Guild, she was met by dozens of protestors at the Mann Village Theater.

In an interview with American television and radio host Larry King, she was asked if she was typecast to play the Devil.

“I like to think not. I was sort of horrified when my agent first rang me about it. And they said, you know, Harold Ramis has got this fabulous new project. And he said, you’d be great for it. I’m like, oh, cool. What is it? And she’s like, the devil. And I was like, what do you mean? And she said, oh, darling, everyone thinks you’d be perfect. My mother said exactly the same thing. Darling, you won’t have to act at all,” she responded.

Released on October 20, 2000, Bedazzled featured Elizabeth Hurley, then 35, and Brendan Fraser, then 31, during filming. Born in the UK and the US, respectively, the duo brought comedic charm and striking on-screen chemistry to the cult classic.

“Every 15 seconds, somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. In one way or another, we’re all drawn together by this disease,” Elizabeth wrote on Instagram in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Grab your favorite pink lipstick and help us fund life-saving research. Draw a pink ribbon on your hand, post a photo, and share why it’s #TimeToEndBreastCancer.”

The British beauty has been an ambassador for The Breast Cancer Campaign, sponsored by Estée Lauder, since 1995. Elizabeth donned a tight-fitting berry-colored Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring a lighter shade of cross-over detailing at the top for the event.

The Austin Powers actress carried a matching pink clutch and completed the outfit with strappy silver open-toe sandals that elongated her 5 feet 7 ¼ inches (170.8 cm) height. She wears a US shoe size 8.5

Don’t you think her sandals looked a little too big? Unfortunately, we haven’t identified the exact pair, but those iconic red soles confirm they’re from Christian Louboutin.
