Elizabeth’s outing comes after she revealed she no longer speaks to ex Hugh Grant after being coupled to fame in THAT Versace dress at the premiere of his 1994 movie Four Weddings And A Funeral.
The actress became a household name overnight thanks to the extravagant couture gown, manufactured from a mix of black silk and Lycra, held together with oversized safety pins and borrowed from the Versace flagship store on Old Bond Street.
Likewise, Hugh also enjoyed a significant change in fortune – both personal and professional – thanks to his role as the perennially single Charles in director Richard Curtis’ romantic comedy.
And Elizabeth credits their relationship for helping her navigate a pivotal time in her life but admits they no longer see each other – despite remaining firm friends following their amicable separation in 2000.
Appearing at the Bazaar At Work summit in London earlier this month, she said: ‘I was with my ex, Hugh Grant, so it happened to both of us at the same time.’
‘Like me, he’d also worked a lot, and thought he was doing pretty well until Four Weddings and a Funeral came out and suddenly it was completely different – he was a phenomenon.’
‘The film was a massive success, and everything changed. But there were two of us and I think that massively helped. When you’re suddenly thrust into the spotlight, your lives aren’t set up for it.’
She added: ‘You don’t have any protection. It was alarming. The press was much ruder back in the 90s and 2000s than it is now. I truly believe that people aren’t allowed to be as rude as they were then.’

‘[I] think it gives you a bond when you sort of go to the trenches with someone. I mean, he’s married with five children. I hardly ever see him, but he’s still very close to my heart.’
Reflecting on her iconic dress – borrowed as a last-minute favour from Dean Aslett, then Head of Womenswear and Atelier at Versace – Elizabeth admits she was stunned by the attention it received.
‘It was very strange,’ she recalled. ‘I’d been working for a few years, and in my mind, I thought I was quite famous – I had been in a few things.’
‘To my family, I was a success; but I had no idea what it actually meant to really be in the public eye. That was a real shock to one’s psyche.’
Now an established star in her own right, she is helping son Damian – her only child from a former relationship with American businessman Steve Bing – forge his own path as a budding film director.
The debut feature Strictly Confidential – both written and directed by the 22-year-old – was released to lukewarm reviews in 2023.
‘He’d also worked a lot, and thought he was doing pretty well, until Four Weddings and a Funeral came out and suddenly it was completely different – he was a phenomenon,’ she said (pictured together 1996)
Much of the criticism revolved around Elizabeth herself, whose starring role in the film includes a raunchy lesbian sex scene with a woman 30 years her junior – filmed by her son.
‘It’s quite interesting because I’m a single mother and he’s a single child, so we, by default, spend a huge amount of time together,’ she explained.
‘When he was really young, he became fascinated with my business. He started doing stills and making mini-movies when he was nine or ten. I gave him a camcorder, and he made me star in all his films.’
‘I was always playing the Evil Queen. My mum was in them, Hugh was in them, my ex-husband, everybody had to be in his movies, as he progressed through baby movies into more grown-up features.’
‘He’s actually been directing me for ten years anyway, so nothing really changed. I was just used to it.’
