Donatella Versace modeled a figure-hugging, stone-embellished gold gown on Sunday evening at Anna Wintour’s pre-Met Gala party.
The 71-year-old fashion designer – who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s party on Saturday – looked younger than her years as she stepped out in the one-shoulder dress.
The look cinched at her trim waistline and boasted a sheer overlay at the skirt, which boasted a minimal train.
Versace added height to her petite frame with a pair of nude-toned platform heels.
She was recognizable with her signature long blonde hair styled with shaggy bangs and ironed straight.
The party comes in anticipation of Monday night’s annual gala, which Wintour has spearheaded since 1995.

Last week Versace rubbed shoulders with fashion’s heavy hitters at the King’s Trust 5th annual gala at Christie’s.
For the special occasion she dazzled in a baby blue dress with sheer sleeves.
And on Monday she will join more A-listers for fashion’s biggest night.
Bezos and Sanchez will serve as honorary co-chairs at the Met Gala due to dropping an eye-watering sum.
They allegedly paid $10 million for the privilege to hobnob with former Vogue editor-in-chief Wintour.
Her other co-chairs include Beyonce, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams.
Sources told the outlet the move put them in favor with Wintour, 76, who uses the event to raise money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.
The 2026 Costume Art-themed gala has the couple’s names on the invites.

The dress code calls on the celebrity attendees to explore how designers use the human body as a blank canvas.
The New York City museum will pair historical and contemporary garments from the Costume Institute for the exhibition, which will be loosely divided into three categories: the classical and the nude body, aging and pregnant bodies, and the anatomical body.
‘The title Costume Art refers to the history of the costume institute,’ Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute’s curator, said at a press conference.
Bolton, who selects the theme, said fashion has ‘the status of art because of, and not in spite of, its relation to the body.’
French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent is also sponsoring the exhibit.
The 2026 Met Gala will also have a host committee that includes committee co-chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoe Kravitz.
They will be joined by members Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Angela Bassett, Gwendoline Christie, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor and more.
