As Donatella Versace took her brand’s autumn/winter 2023 show to Los Angeles, A-listers and international editors flocked to the West Coast to witness the most seductive of fashions in the flesh. While there were numerous stars on the FROW—like Cher, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Lil Nas X, Paris Hilton, and Anne Hathaway, to name a few—the runway was, naturally, awash with supermodels, both legendary and new-era.
Gigi Hadid, who’s made headlines recently as the host of Netflix’s Next in Fashion second season, opened the show at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood wearing a black razor-sharp skirt suit, black leather gloves, stilettos and a black holdall bag (she later wore a breathtaking low-slung gown with sheer corset panels). Elsewhere, Naomi Campbell turned heads as she sashayed in a halter dress, while Emily Ratajkowski delivered optimum femme fatale in a waist-cinching midi slip and leather gloves. To finish it all off, Kendall Jenner closed the show wearing a crystal-embellished minidress with a voluminous capelet and bejewelled neckline.
Other mega model moments included Adut Akech, Liu Wen, Mariacarla Boscono, Anok Yai, Imaan Hammam, Irina Shayk and Vittoria Ceretti. It’s safe to say that, wherever it may take place in the world, there wouldn’t be a Versace show without a swarm of It-girls commanding the runway.
