About Donatella Versace
Donatella Versace honored Miley Cyrus at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on May 22, 2026, delivering a speech in which she described Cyrus as "a fighter, a rebel, a force for good" and "an inspiration for young people and also for me." Versace praised Cyrus's integrity, determination, and advocacy for social justice and human rights, stating that Cyrus "champion[s] kindness, equality" and is "one of the hardest working people I've ever met." Versace has also spoken publicly about her brother Gianni Versace's legacy. At the Spring/Summer 2018 tribute show, she described the event as "a celebration of a genius" and "a celebration of my brother," saying that Gianni "always recognized how powerful women are" and "helped women reclaim their own voice and be themselves." In earlier interviews, Versace reflected on taking over the design helm after Gianni's death in 1997, stating, "This is what my brother was alive and I was so desperate to be. And I try to continue the best way I can."

They told me there's a colleague, right? But until I understand what job I do, I can't guess. So I'll read it. I'll read it. Here it is. Here it is. So, his name is Like a Weapon, but it's not a gun.

No, thank goodness. So, we're together all the time. You are a master of kindness, right? Eh, you're a bit of a master of kindness, let's say it.
D
Donatella Versace2:16
Come on, Reni, come on, Reni, let's hope, let's hope.
R
Renato Balestra2:18
Yes, yes. So, let's give some advice to the poor at home. Some advice to the poor at home. So, when you leave the clinic, how much do you tip the anesthesiologist? Because last time I made a fool of myself.
D
Donatella Versace2:29
It depends, it depends on how much he pulled the gene.
R
Renato Balestra2:39
So, you studied engineering, right?
D
Donatella Versace2:41
Yes.
R
Renato Balestra2:41
And you made a bet with friends and sent a drawing and they accepted you. Is it true or not? How much does luck count in life? I want to... So, I am of the theory, I am of the theory that luck counts a lot. It counts a lot. It counts a lot because you just need to find someone who... I don't know, finds the opportunity and immediately takes off. If that's missing, you struggle.
D
Donatella Versace3:12
But were you talking about fortune? I was talking about ass. What? No, no, no. Okay, okay. These are my things. So, you do a lot of gymnastics, right?
R
Renato Balestra3:21
Yes, because I practically don't know how to do squats. It's a very difficult thing, the squat.
D
Donatella Versace3:26
Ah, the squat. The squat. Scotch. Squat. Do you really want to? Eh, squat squat squat squat. Good. Eh, okay. And it's a... So, now you correct me, I'll do it. The last time I did it I stayed down, I had to call the fire department who pulled me up, by the way, very good, because they solved it, then we went for a sexy car wash with the hydrant. Anyway, apart from that, so it's like this, it's right.
R
Renato Balestra3:55
But keep your body straight, eh?
D
Donatella Versace3:57
Keep your body straight.
R
Renato Balestra3:58
Eh, wait.
D
Donatella Versace4:00
Eh, no, no, no, not even the other way. Straight perpendicular. Yes. And then slowly down.
R
Renato Balestra4:06
Oh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
D
Donatella Versace4:13
Forward or back, Reni?
R
Renato Balestra4:15
This is a different tune.
D
Donatella Versace4:17
A different tune.
R
Renato Balestra4:18
Is that okay?
D
Donatella Versace4:19
That's perfect. And I can go all the way down.
R
Renato Balestra4:22
All the way down.
D
Donatella Versace4:23
Lower.
R
Renato Balestra4:24
No, too low, too low. And now I can't get up anymore.
D
Donatella Versace4:29
Excuse me, but do I do it like this? Excuse me. What is it? No, because you can't just... Oh, excuse me, I'll put it here. But to do this, how many do you do a day?
R
Renato Balestra4:41
But I don't do them a day, I told you, I stay down bent like this. Ah, no, but don't believe it, what he did is very difficult.
D
Donatella Versace4:49
It's difficult. Oh shit! Oh, sorry, it's the spare one. Okay, then let's see a bit. Let's see a photo. Here you are with Virginia Raggi, eh. Think she confessed to me that it was the first time she participated in a fashion show and for me it was a bit of a ray of sunshine because I have to tell you that all the Italian newspapers from first to last wrote more about this incursion of Raggi than about the collection.
R
Renato Balestra5:15
She was very nice, she gave me a gift, so I am very grateful to her.
D
Donatella Versace5:19
Well, she's very nice. Yes, she's very nice, but she's not in blue, though. Anyway, she's nice.
R
Renato Balestra5:25
But for how much it costs me, yes. Mh. But do you prefer a night of sex with her or with Meloni?
D
Donatella Versace5:33
It's tough, eh? It's tough, it's tough. I love watermelons, eh. I love watermelons.
R
Renato Balestra5:37
I love watermelons. Genius.
D
Donatella Versace5:43
I didn't get it. I wanted to ask you, describe to me what the color blue is like? Because I have a problem. I've been mixing colors since 2010, which was New Year's Eve at Madonna's house, practically we were a bit groggy from that evening. At midnight she says let's toast with liquid plumbing, okay just to laugh and you... And there, there, laughing, nothing. I understood that from that day I no longer understand colors. So what is blue like?
R
Renato Balestra6:13
I work a lot with colors because I also painted a lot, one day mixing different colors together to get a certain blue, this blue came out.
D
Donatella Versace6:24
So in your honor, music, music. Stay calm, stay calm. Good, don't shake it too much. 50 euros. Good, good. Okay, so you know, they're kids. Nothing like the gym, eh? Nothing like the gym.
R
Renato Balestra6:51
Nothing like the gym. Did you see there? Nothing like Balestra. Stefè. Uh, genius. Just to laugh like that.
D
Donatella Versace6:59
But I have to run because at midnight I have a meeting and we're in Paris practically we get John Galliano drunk and then we set his hair on fire so we see him running into the sea just to laugh like that. Eh, do you want to come too?
R
Renato Balestra7:14
For laughs. I'm coming too. I'm coming with the match.
D
Donatella Versace7:17
Come with a match. I wanted to buy you a gift, Renny. Yes, I wanted to buy you a gift, but my assistant went out to buy me... ah, the desk is moving... to buy me a new cashmere tongue that just came out like that, and so I'm empty-handed, but I'll tell you straight up, so I'll say goodbye like this, so if you want, you can put them somewhere.
R
Renato Balestra7:46
Thank you, Lady Sargent, The Master of Fashion Out of the Blue, Renato Balestra.
