The Oscar-winning actress and the legendary designer celebrated the Versace Icons collection with a star-studded event in New York City.
On Wednesday night, Anne Hathaway and Donatella Versace co-hosted a fabulous dinner party at the Rockefeller Center in New York City. The event was in celebration of the Versace Icons collection, which features pieces inspired by the Italian fashion house’s heritage of glamour, elegance, and empowerment. The collection includes iconic designs such as the safety pin dress, the Medusa logo, and the Baroque print.
The dinner party was attended by some of the most influential and creative people from various fields, such as art, music, film, and social activism. Among the guests were supermodels Cindy Crawford and Helena Christensen, actors Marisa Tomei and Rachel Brosnahan, musicians Teyana Taylor and Ariana DeBose, and artists Aaron Philip and Anna Weyant. The guests wore stunning outfits from the Versace Icons collection, showcasing their personal style and flair.
The event also featured the Versace Icon Diaries, a gallery of photos taken by the guests with their smartphones, capturing moments from their daily lives. The photos were displayed on screens around the venue, creating a dynamic and intimate atmosphere. The photos reflected the guests’ personalities, passions, and perspectives, as well as their connection to Versace’s vision of celebrating individuality and diversity.
A Power Duo
Anne Hathaway and Donatella Versace are both icons in their own right, and their collaboration for the dinner party was a perfect match. Hathaway is the face of the Versace Icons campaign, and has been a longtime fan of the brand. She has worn Versace on many occasions, including the 2023 Met Gala, where she dazzled in a gold gown with a dramatic hood. She has also expressed her admiration for Donatella’s creativity and leadership in the fashion industry.
Donatella Versace is one of the most influential and respected designers in the world, who has continued to innovate and evolve her family’s legacy. She has created some of the most memorable and iconic looks in fashion history, such as Jennifer Lopez’s green jungle dress and Lady Gaga’s meat dress. She has also collaborated with many celebrities, artists, and musicians, such as Madonna, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Zayn Malik. She is known for her bold and fearless approach to fashion, as well as her support for social causes such as LGBTQ+ rights, women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
The two women share a mutual respect and friendship, which was evident at the dinner party. They both looked stunning in their black outfits from the Versace Icons collection. Hathaway wore a cropped blazer with silver buttons and a matching skirt with a leather belt. She accessorized with silver earrings and rings, and a pair of metallic silver shoes. Donatella wore a body-hugging dress with a sparkly mesh bodice and sleeves. She paired it with black patent leather boots, silver hoop earrings, a red bracelet, and a large ring.
A Global Celebration
The dinner party in New York City was the first of three events that Versace is hosting to celebrate its Icons collection. The next event will be held in Shanghai, China on October 18th, co-hosted by Donatella Versace and Chinese singer-actor Chris Lee. The final event will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates later this year.
The events are meant to honor the icons who have inspired Versace over the years, as well as to showcase the icons who are shaping the future of culture and society. The events are also an opportunity for Versace to connect with its global community of fans and customers, who share its values of creativity, diversity, and empowerment.
