Experts explain what's caused Donatella Versace's dramatic transformation as fans express shock
Donatella Versace's apparent new look has been explained by experts.
On Sunday (December 1), Donatella joined a host of other celebrities at the opening night of The Devil Wears Prada musical in London.
Other famous faces to attend the star-studded affair included Lily Collins, Luke Evans, Anna Wintour, Elton John, and Elizabeth Hurley, to name a few.
While musicals should have been the talking point of the night, Donatella turned out to be the center of attention.

The Italian designer seemed to debut a new look, and people were quick to compliment the 69-year-old on it.
Donatella shared snaps of her evening to Instagram and her followers gushed over how great she looked.
Comments described the designer as looking 'incredible', 'stunning' and 'perfect', with one person writing: "The hair color is perfection!"
Another added: "Donatella you look AMAZING!"
Someone else went on: "What an amazing transformation, Donatella looks gorgeous!"
It's not totally clear what has changed about the fashion icon, but some experts have speculated that Donatella's had 'corrective work', having previously had cosmetic procedures and fillers.
Discussing her new look, Dr Ross Perry - the founder and Medical Director of Cosmedics Skin Clinics - told Mail Online: "This is the best I’ve seen Donatella looking- the hair, make-up and styling really work and suit Donatella.
"She doesn’t look like she’s been having a lot of recent work done, but is maintaining and possibly correcting previous work."
He went on: "This could be having more non-invasive skin treatments, filler removed and opting for less surgical procedures that she’s had done in the past."
Elsewhere, Dr Perry speculated that Donatella started using fillers back in 1993 when she was 38 years old.
It wasn't until 2008 that she reportedly had eyelid surgery and a lower face lift, and two years later, she may have had fillers and a nose job.
Donatella has been somewhat open about her 'tweakments' over the years.
Speaking to Vogue in 2013, she said: "I'm not like this genetically."
She went on to say that she'd had Botox on her face, but nowhere on her body.
Then, in a 2010 interview, Donatella said that she didn't believe in a 'totally natural' look for women.
"I don’t even know what my natural color 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."
