Leroux met fellow designer Karl Lagerfeld in the early '80s, before going on to launch his Hervè Leger brand in 1985. There, he created the bandage dress, a bodycon style that hugged a woman's curves.
Crawford shared a photo of herself with Leroux, fitting her with a red version of his signature dress.
"Remembering the man who created the bandage dress, which held you in all the right places. Rip #HerveLeger" Crawford wrote in the caption.
