Fans call out ‘unrecognisable’ Donatella Versace for heavily editing her photos

Fans have done a double take with Donatella Versace’s latest social media photos - but these side-by-side pics reveal the truth.

Fans are calling out Donatella Versace for heavily editing her photos from Elton John’s charity gala premiere of The Devil Wears Prada: The Musical in London over the weekend.

The Italian fashion designer, 69, shared a carousel of photos from the event via Instagram featuring stylish photos of her posing solo in a gold sparkly mini dress and with famous pals like Vanessa Williams, Anna Wintour and the Rocket Man singer himself.

In one particular photo, Versace appeared to look “unrecognisable,” as some fans pointed out in the comments section, as she stood near a black SUV.

“Donatella said new face, who this ?” one person wrote on X after seeing the edited snap.

While several of her followers theorised that maybe she went under the knife to achieve the drastic new look, her face appeared normal in several other pictures shared from the event.

That led fans to believe that Versace had just used a little Photoshop to give herself a “new face” in one of the photos.

“That first pic had me! It doesn’t appear like Donatella Versace got new work done, it was just a good filter & some editing,” tweeted one user, with another joking, “Babe wake up new Donatella face just dropped.”

“False alarm everyone Donatella Versace’s face is still the same someone just had free time and photoshop,” added another.

“Someone set Donatella up with that edit OMG … But anyway, however she looks, she’s still gorgeous because she’s a kind and loving woman,” said a third.

Though the socialite has never explicitly confirmed having plastic surgery, her face has appeared to have drastically changed over the years.

Many plastic surgeons believe she has had Botox, a facelift and lip fillers done over the years.

In a 2010 interview, Versace said she didn’t believe in a “natural” look for women.

“I don’t even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that?” she said at the time.

“I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.”
