Catherine Zeta-Jones is reviving an iconic vintage dress from 2005!
While vacationing with husband, actor Michael Douglas, in Portofino, Italy, on July 31, she was seen wearing a purple maxi dress. InStyle noted it was the same dress that Jessica Simpson wore for the VH1 Big in ’05 Awards in December of that year.
Zeta-Jones, 53, paired the infamous purple halter-neck, sparkly maxi dress — which came to be known as Simpson’s “revenge dress” — with sunglasses and espadrilles.

The actress walked hand-in-hand with Douglas, who was pictured in white trousers, a navy blue shirt, and smart black shoes.

Back in ‘05, Simpson wore the Ungaro dress to accept her ‘Big Stylin’’ award at the ceremony.

The Big in ’05 Awards came just weeks after the singer and reality star had announced her split from her husband-at-the-time, 98 Degrees alum Nick Lachey.
In the spirit of the “revenge dress” trope, Simpson styled hers with big, silver hoop earrings and black peep-toe heels.
Zeta-Jones may not have revenge on the brain while wearing her dress in Italy, but she has style in mind — like always.
On July 27, the actress shared sun-kissed selfies of herself on Instagram, looking glam in a plunging one-piece swimsuit.
Zeta-Jones wore the neutral swimsuit with round sunglasses, a massive straw hat and a cheeky pout. Hinting to her European summer, the Tony Award winner simply wrote “Ciao” under her photos and added a sun emoji.
