    With music penned by Elton himself, the production pays homage to the comedy drama that famously starred Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep.

    Donatella stepped onto the red carpet in a heavily embellished sheer bronze mini dress, layered over a black sweetheart neckline bodysuit. She completed the look with bold knee-high brown leather platform boots.

    Her ensemble was accessorized with a red AIDS awareness ribbon, a poignant nod to the evening’s charitable cause.

    Her outfit received plenty of admiration, but it was her facial appearance that sent fans into a frenzy.

    Netizens flooded social media with comments speculating whether she had undergone a recent cosmetic procedure or simply employed a heavy hand with Photoshop.

    “Donatella said new face, who this?” quipped one social media user, while another joked, “Babe wake up new Donatella face just dropped.”

    “Donatella new face,” one wrote. Another branded it, “The best face she has bought.”

    “That first pic had me!! It doesn’t appear like Donatella Versace got new work done, it was just a good filter & some editing,” read one theory.

    “False alarm everyone Donatella Versace’s face it’s still the same someone just had free time and Photoshop,” said another.

    Some compared the iconic Italian designer’s appearance to Lindsay Lohan, who also recently faced speculation about undergoing a dramatic transformation.

    “Did you find Lindsay Lohan’s doc, Donatella?”

    “People, someone needs to find out who this doctor in Hollywood is who is performing these miracles,” read another comment, while a third said, “I’m sure it’s the same doctor as Lindsay, Demi and Brad.”

    “There’s a Dr in Europe who’s been doing the Lord’s work,” one joked.

    Over the years, Donatella’s appearance has often been a topic of public discussion and fascination.

    In past interviews, she has maintained a pragmatic attitude toward beauty and aging.

    “I’m not like this genetically, I use tons of cream and take care of my hair and skin,” she said at the Vogue Festival in 2013.

    Some netizens compared her transformation to Lindsay Lohan, who also made fans think she recently underwent a dramatic change in appearance

    She has also stated she doesn’t believe in women keeping things completely “natural.”

    “I don’t even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables,” she said in a 2010 interview.

    The high fashion queen’s signature blonde hair has been a defining feature of her style and public image for decades, and the origins of her striking locks date back to her childhood.

    At the age of 11, Donatella was encouraged by her older brother Gianni Versace—the founder of the luxury fashion house Versace—to dye her hair blonde.

    “I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables,” Donatella previously said

    Gianni, who was 19 at the time, was inspired by Italian singer Patty Pravo.

    “Back then Gianni was so obsessed with Pravo, an iron-straight-haired ‘blond,’ that he persuaded eleven-year-old Donatella to dye her own hair just like his heroine,” Ingrid Sischy, the co-author of Versace, wrote in the book’s first chapter.

    “They both knew their mother would have a fit, but the adoring younger sister went along with her brother’s invention of her new blond look,” wrote Ingrid, “and she has never looked back.”

    One fan thought the “toned down makeup and more natural hair” helped “a great deal” in Donatella’s recent red carpet appearnace

    As a visual editor in the News team, I look for the most interesting pictures and comments to make each post interesting and informative through images, so that you aren't reading only blocks of text. I joined Bored Panda not that long ago, but in this short amount of time I have covered a wide range of topics: from true crime to Taylor Swift memes (my search history is very questionable because of that).In my freetime, I enjoy spending time at the gym, gaming, binging Great British Bake Off and adding yet another tattoo artist that I would love to get a tattoo from to my pinterest board.

    My thoughts exactly. She’s looked like a caricature for years. If she’d just left her face alone, simply taken good care of her health and skin, and not tried to look 20 at 50, she would’ve aged gracefully and looked normal. She wasn’t bad looking when she was young, so had a good foundation to start out with. Her wealth would’ve allowed her to have the best experts help her keep her health and her skin in tiptop condition—-without surgery. It isn’t magic, it’s just common sense. Eat right, exercise, wash your face, use sunscreen, don’t smoke, don’t drink to excess, don’t party to excess, don’t dabble in d***s, get your sleep, just nothing in excess, especially the stuff we all know is bad for us. Every one of us will grow old, it’s unavoidable, but we can take good enough care of ourselves to look our best at every age—-in a natural and age appropriate way. That’s not the path Donatella Versace took, and her face has the scar tissue to prove it. Plastic surgery isn’t forever. Sooner or later, Nature will win.
