‘It’s hard to believe, but she was beautiful’: what did Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace look like before plastic surgery?

Donatella Versace, the iconic fashion designer, comes from a large family in Italy. She was born 68 years ago, and her passion for sewing came from her mother, who served wealthy clients.

In the late 1970s, she joined her older brother Giovanni in Milan, where he was gradually establishing himself as a fashion designer. Following his success, Donatella took on the roles of company director and chief designer.

In 2002, Donatella underwent plastic surgery for the first time, sparking controversy about her appearance. Before these procedures, she was considered a very attractive woman. Among her first decisions were lip augmentation with Botox and a circular facelift.

Donatella spoke openly about her motives for the operations, stating that she wanted to create a protective barrier against public criticism. During this period, she also began wearing bold makeup, tanning excessively, and regularly visiting tanning salons — a combination that alienated some of her fans.

Other procedures included rhinoplasty, and photographs show that the result was not ideal. Donatella had long wanted to change the shape of her nose bridge, but over time the result faded and the tip of her nose began to droop.

Alcohol consumption also played a role in the sagging of her face. Unfortunately, subsequent surgeries led to an unnatural and asymmetrical appearance.

Nevertheless, Donatella remains a prominent figure who is constantly followed by paparazzi. She still maintains her status as a fashion icon, preferring high heels and tight-fitting clothes that flatter her slim figure. For her 60th birthday, she chose breast augmentation as a personal gift.

Donatella is often compared to the extravagant singer Lady Gaga for their bold aesthetic choices.

However, many believe that her exaggerated measures have had the opposite effect and made her look older than she really is.

In the end, it seems that her attempts to preserve her youth with ‘beauty injections’ have not lived up to expectations.
