11 Hottest Celeb Revenge Outfits – Liz Hurley’s Gown To Emily Ratajkowski’s Lingerie
Many celebs have taken inspiration from Princess Diana, wearing revenge dresses to show their ex what they were missing.
There’s nothing more satisfying than running into an ex while looking your best. This brings about the term ‘revenge dresses’ and it can be dated back to 1994 when the late Princess Diana arrived at a party in a sultry daring black dress after knowing that her husband, the newly crowned King, Charles III had cheated on her with the now-Queen Camila. As it became public, media outlets dubbed her outfit as the revenge dress and since then, other celebs have used revenge dresses as an inspiring way to make an ex realize what they’ve lost.
Revenge outfits are so widespread that it has even been referenced in media including Taylor Swift’s song, ‘Vigilante S***,’ where she sang: ‘Lately, I’ve been dressing for revenge.’ Notably, revenge dresses are not exclusive to romantic affairs as the bold fashion statement also highlights independence, confidence, and success. It also serves as a reminder that you are beautiful and resilient, a thing everyone needs after going through a challenging time. Apart from Princess Diana, stars like Liz Hurly, and Mariah Carey among others have decided to make statements at glitzy events to feel glam after breakups. Have a look!
