When Gianni Versace was shot and killed by a serial killer in 1997, many wondered who would take over his international fashion house, Versace. People doubted that his sister Donatella would handle such a serious matter, but she not only mastered her brother’s legacy, but also significantly increased it. Only stars of the first magnitude flaunt her outfits. We can say that the blonde has conquered all of Hollywood, because not a single important event where the red carpet flashes is complete without the outfits of the Italian fashion house.
Let's see which dresses have gone down in fashion history and which simply cannot be forgotten - they are so gorgeous.
Legendary Versace dresses
The Versace empire was founded in the 70s, and that’s when her star journey began. His dresses were tried on by such personalities as Princess Diana, Cindy Crawford, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Irina Shayk, Lady Gaga, Uma Thurman, Charlize Theron and many others.Each dress is an unusually magical creation that emphasizes all the girl’s advantages and skillfully hides her flaws.
Already in the early 80s, Gianni became a sensation in the fashion world. He is one of the first to use bright colors, large prints, and mega-sexy cutouts. His outfits are the peak of femininity and simplicity, but at the same time luxury and frankness.
Princess Diana
Lady Di has always been known for her rebellious nature. It was she who often went beyond the royal protocol, allowing herself to appear in public in inappropriate clothes, but this did not stop her from becoming a style icon and everyone’s favorite. Nevertheless, the princess always showed an interest in feminine tailoring and most of all she liked the aesthetics of the Italian designer, but she was able to fully afford Versace clothes only after her divorce.
Lady Di enjoyed wearing both formal suits made especially for her and luxurious evening dresses. She demonstrated one of these at a reception in Sydney in 1996. Then she appeared in a long satin dress on one shoulder in bright blue.
Cindy Crawford
Gianni loved to dress models, and Cindy was no exception. However, there are rumors that Naomi Campbell was the designer’s muse and favorite, but the world was captivated by the dress that Crawford finally wore to the Academy Awards in 1991.
There is a lot to be said about this dress. It had a huge impact on fashion, and many copies and imitations were produced.What can we say... The outfit ended up in a bunch of ratings: the best red carpet dress of all time, the most memorable dress of the fiftieth anniversary, the best Oscar dresses of all time and many others. But there is one more fact that confirms the exclusivity of this outfit from Versace - a separate article was written about it on Wikipedia.
Angelina Jolie
At the premiere of the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” which brought the actors together, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt arrived separately from each other, but even then a passionate romance broke out between them. The actress looked aggressively sexy in a black leather dress with a deep neckline.
It was then that they started saying that Angie had finally found her style - both feminine and daring, which suited her so well.
Lady Gaga
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (the singer's real name) is Donatella's longtime friend, but she rarely appears in her outfits. Of course, we must not forget that Lady Gaga is shock, challenge, audacity and shocking. Either she will dress up in meat, then in a lobster costume, or she will come out half naked, but with spikes. Let's add to this an extremely high heel, unusual hairstyles and other bold experiments. Yes, she is an extraordinary person, that’s for sure.
But only one of her exits caused a real surge of emotions - in the good sense of the word. And, of course, it was Donatella's dress. The Oscars 2014 red carpet and the unsurpassed Lady Gaga in a chic long evening dress. Her appearance is an explosive mix of sexuality, femininity, rigor, sophistication and ideal aesthetics. The singer abandoned bright makeup and amazed the audience with her chic appearance.For the celebration, the singer chose an extremely modest outfit - we saw no naked body, no high platforms, or huge hats. The lilac bustier dress was complemented by a matching chiffon scarf and neat earrings.
Jennifer Lopez
Grammy Awards, 2000. Then Jennifer Lopez appeared on the red carpet, wearing a green dress with a dizzying neckline and a bright print. It is worth saying that then the appearance of the singer and actress simply shocked the fashion world. This moment became a turning point both in the career of Lopez and in the life of Donatella Versace.
After the event, the designer decided to give the outfit to Jennifer, although usually the clothes are returned to fashion houses. But Lopez produced such a stunning effect that she received the dress as a gift.
Naomi Campbell
This model is undoubtedly scandalous and extremely aggressive. But at the same time, she is also extremely sentimental. In 2013, she stepped out in a dress that Gianni Versace made back in 1992. Then Naomi was the face of an advertising campaign for a fashion house and showed off a sexy outfit from the pages of the glossy press. The seductive black dress will undoubtedly be remembered by many who follow fashion and trends.
Of course, these are not the only iconic dresses that the Versace fashion house has ever created. Any of their creations is luxury, brilliance, amazing beauty and femininity. The stars in Donatella's outfits don't just look stunning - they are very memorable images that helped sister Gianni conquer the heights of fashion.
