Donatella Versace, the legendary fashion designer, has recently turned 70, and fans can’t believe how young she looks. Donatella, known for her striking flair and long-standing impact in high fashion, celebrated her milestone birthday in true Versace style, eliciting a strong reaction from the internet.
Donatella Versace has been a prominent player in the fashion world for more than 30 years. She rose to prominence in 1997, following her brother Gianni Versace’s untimely death on July 15. Donatella, who had been overseeing the brand’s Versus line since 1989, took over as creative director immediately and rose to the position of chief creative officer.
From that point forward, she has headed the luxury fashion brand with passion and vision. Even after Versace was sold to Prada Group for €1.25 billion ($1.38 billion) in April 2025, Donatella’s impact on the brand and the fashion industry is unquestionable.
Donatella knew that turning 70 was a “big birthday,” so she planned an extraordinary celebration.
“What a way to celebrate my birthday—on Broadway with George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck.” “A tour de force! 🎂🥳🎉🎈,” she said on Instagram, complimenting Clooney’s Broadway debut. “George, your talent, courage, and commitment are truly inspirational. Congratulations on the Tony nomination! I sat on the edge of my seat. Bravo!!”
After admiring the performance, the designer walked backstage to meet the 63-year-old actor. While Clooney donned a classic black tuxedo, Donatella dazzled in a lilac flowery dress and beige platform boots, stunning fans with her youthful, timeless appearance.
The Broadway night was only the beginning. Donatella’s birthday celebrations will continue at the legendary Met Gala in New York City.
Fans soon praised Donatella’s remarkably youthful appearance. “Happy birthday…you look stunning,” said one.
“Happy birthday, more beautiful every year ❤️” said another. “Who is this Diva?❤️” a fan joked.
