Donatella ⁤versace: Blonde is⁤ a way of life

“Then I don’t recognize myself anymore. Karl Lagerfeld⁢ doesn’t recognize himself without sunglasses either,” said the⁣ fashion designer in an interview in ‌2018,when the fashion designer,who died in 2019,was‍ still alive.

For her, being blonde ⁢is a way of ‌life: “You face the world​ like‍ an Amazon. I also owe the fact that I survived the ⁢disasters in my life to the strength that my blonde hair gives me.”

When she​ was eleven years old, her brother Gianni had her hair⁣ dyed platinum black. after the death ‍of her brother Gianni,Donatella Versace took over the‌ creative scepter of his company in 1997.

Although‍ her bleached ⁣hair⁤ is one of her ⁢trademarks, Versace’s appearance has changed ‍quite ‍a bit since her debut in the fashion industry – prompting repeated rumors of ‍possible cosmetic surgery.

In ​the 1990s she still⁢ liked to show off her tan​ in a solarium (as in the photo on her brother’s side Gianni ‍Versace, below), she seems to‍ be‍ avoiding the tanning bed‍ now.

The fashion designer’s appearance caused speculation online. “Donatella has a new face,” someone wrote in the comments section.”I thought the same thing. But she looks great,” agreed one.

Many fans even joked that she went to “doctor Lindsay Lohan” and compared Versace to the previous scandal noodle, which has also undergone a major visual change recently.
