Completing the look, Versace let her blonde locks fall over her shoulders and back in loose waves and adorned her face with light makeup.
The musical she attended is based on the popular book by Lauren Weisberger and the iconic film “The Devil Wears Prada.” It follows the story of Andy who is fresh out of college and gets thrust into the world of “Runway” magazine, where she works under the legendary fashion diva Miranda Priestley.
“As she gets increasingly absorbed by the allure of high fashion, Andy must question her values. How much is she willing to compromise for success? Discover the captivating narrative of ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ musical in London’s Dominion Theatre,” reads the description on the ticket website.
Priestley is played by legendary actress Vanessa Williams, while iconic artist Sir Elton John is responsible for the music. Directed by Jerry Mitchell, the musical promises “an evening filled with humour [sic], fashion, and poignant life lessons.”
Tickets are on sale from $38.06 (£30) and thus far, the drama-comedy, which is showing until May 31, 2025, has already received a rating of 4.45/5 stars along with several glowing reviews from people who have seen it.
Aside from Versace, Williams, and John, other A-listers in attendance included Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, TV star Michelle Visage, and famous model Elizabeth Hurley, to name a few. The show they attended hosted a charity gala for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
