Halsey is one of those artists who stays very low-key until she’s ready. And after a challenging couple of years, she’s releasing new music again, and we’re lucky enough to be witnesses. Last night at the VMAs Halsey wore a stunning one-of-one dress designed by Gianni Versace himself in 1996 that was never worn until last night.
The singer-slash-actress wore a red and black, rhinestone-embellished leopard print maxi gown that Gianni Versace designed to be worn by British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley for the opening of a Versace boutique back in 1996. Only Hurley never got around to wearing it. In a TikTok posted by Vogue, Halsey said, her face beaming in awe, “I am wearing a one-of-one Gianni Versace from 1996, and I cannot believe I’m wearing it.”
Halsey continued, “[Hurley] dropped it off at a dry cleaners, she never picked it up, they found it, it was auctioned, no one’s worn it since. I’m wearing it, I literally feel like I could faint.”
They styled the look with a very natural looking glam—stripped back eyes, blushy cheeks and nose, and a fleshy pink lip. They also wore a very sexy long, sleek blood-red wig. Since being diagnosed with lupus and a T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder back in 2022, Halsey has been sporting bright, highly styled wigs since returning to the public.
The diagnosis became public just early this summer. In an Instagram post, the singer wrote, “I realize everyone is catching up with news I’ve held in for a very long time, and I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share. You’ve all been so kind so I want to share a bit more. In 2022, I was first diagnosed with Lupus SLE and then a rare T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Both of which are currently being managed or in remission; and both of which I will likely have for the duration of my life.”

In the summer, Halsey was rumored to be engaged to actor and director Avan Jogia, though nothing was confirmed. Last night at the VMA‘s, she told an interviewer that she she hopes to marry him one day. She later confirmed on Twitter that the pair are, in fact, engaged.
