Irina Shayk channels Liz Hurley’s 1994 safety pin dress as she struts down the runway in a sexy black cut-out gown for Versace’s Milan Fashion Week show

She’s been taking Italy by storm modelling the latest designs during Milan Fashion Week. 

But Irina Shayk, 34, seemed to be channeling Liz Hurley’s legendary 1994 safety pin dress during Versace’s Milan Fashion Week show on Friday.

The Russian model sizzled in a strappy black dress which hugged her lithe frame and featured a slash design, secured with shiny circlets.

The various slits in Versace’s sultry creation gaped as the model moved, teasing glimpses of a silver mesh underlay.

Hercules star Irina sported plenty of decolletage in the low cut dress which also featured a high thigh split, just like Liz’s iconic gown.

Irina looked devastatingly regal as she sashayed down the runway in a pair of shiny black patent boots.

The model/actress sported a  pair of chunky triangular gold earrings and a silver pendant with a gothic black stone.

Mother of one Irina carried a black crocodile skin clutch and wore a fetching bracelet made of gold discs beneath a watch with classic black leather strap.  

The sexy Versace number bore more than a slight resemblance to a piece the label designed in 1994 held together with giant gold safety pins.

Versace’s flesh-flashing 90s creation was made famous by a largely unknown Liz Hurley when the actress wore the sultry gown to the premier of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994.

Liz, 54, attended the premier with her then boyfriend Hugh Grant, who made his name as the unlucky in love writer Charles in Richard Curtis’ famous rom-com.

The British actress rather upstaged her partner at the premier thanks to the jaw dropping Versace number which  flaunted Liz’s assets in a deep v neck. 

Austin Powers star Liz had her curves boosted by the dress’ sweetheart cups and flashed inches of toned thigh with a hip height side split.

Irina wore the 90s inspired creation with aplomb as she stalked the Versace catwalk with a legion of fellow models, including Kendall Jenner and Kaia Gerber. 

The model, who shares two-year-old daughter Lea with ex-husband Bradley Cooper, 45, recently said there have been some tough times as a single mother since she and the actor separated some eight months ago.

‘It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider,’ she said in an interview with British Vogue.  

But the pair still appear to be on good terms, and were pictured together reuniting at a fashion event in London recently.
