The dress is the garment that never goes out of style and is a great ally for all occasions from everyday use as well as for a special day.
But what does a dress have to be to be iconic? To answer this question, let’s take a trip back in time to the most controversial clothing in history.
1. Marilyn Monroe’s white dress
We can’t help but mention the dress Marilyn Monroe wore, in 1955, in Temptation Lives Upstairs, the scene in which Marilyn is on the subway, standing over a net in New York City, when a gust of air emerges from it lifts her dress .
The dress was designed by Troy Miller and comprises of a halter neck, deep neckline, rayon and acetate fabric, but without Marilyn’s hourglass figure, the look wasn’t quite the same. The scene was very controversial, because at that time it could seem showy and somewhat unsuitable for filming.
2. Diana Wills’ revenge dress
This black silk dress, with plunging shoulders, and a rather deep sweetheart neckline, draped and adjusted to its silhouette, has an interesting history, and it was in 1994, in the United Kingdom, when Princess Diana and Prince Charles separated, shortly after him in public. Acknowledging her cheating on her, she held an event where her designer Valentino outfit was leaked by the press, so she decided to wear this designer dress by Christina Stambolian.
Diana found it very daring, but after their breakup the princess seemed to change her mind, which is why it was nicknamed “The Dress of Vengeance.”
3. Elizabeth Hurley’s dress, this dress
A long black dress woven from lycra and silk, with oversized gold safety pins placed in the dress’s eyelets, was used by Elizabeth Hurley in the presentation of “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” where her boyfriend, Hugh Grant, appeared as the act.
The dress, designed by Gianni Versace and labeled at the time “sensual and ultra-modern,” has a deep neckline and two straps on each shoulder that secure the dress to the body.
Celebrities like Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lawrence have used different versions of That dess.
4. Jennifer Lopez Green Jungle Print Dress
We can not fail to mention the sexy dress that Jennifer Lopez wore at the 2000 Grammy Awards, designed by Donatella Versace, silk chiffon, in the form of a robe that falls on the feet, has a kind of brooch under the navel that ends. With the neckline and the closure of the lower part of the dress, as well as the popular forest print.
5. Lady Gaga’s Meat Dress
Finally, one of the most iconic dresses in history was the dress that singer Lady Gaga wore at the 2010 MTV Music Video Awards.
Focusing on the night, I decided to bring the raw beef in the form of a dress, shoes, hat and bag. The outfit sparked a lot of controversy, on the one hand, it was condemned by animal rights activists and on the other hand, Time magazine named it the main fashion statement of 2010.
If you notice, all of these clothes have one thing in common which is that they were worn by celebrities. Also, if you notice Black Color Always reigning at all times, it is elegant and simple at the same time.
finally what create controversyBeing too short, being sensual or not being “well seen” by society, is the common rule for getting creative.
