One user wrote, "Donatella dont touch your face again you look so FRESH omgggggg MOTHERRRRR," while another user commented, "People, someone needs to find out who this doctor in Hollywood is who is performing these miracles."
"Donatella looks really younger," a user said.
The Italian fashion icon has long been known for her bold aesthetic, but her latest transformation has experts speculating about the methods behind the magic. Dr Ross Perry, medical director of Cosmedics Skin Clinics, praised her refreshed appearance to Mail Online, stating, “This is the best I’ve seen Donatella looking. The hair, make-up, and styling work beautifully for her.”
"She doesn’t look like she’s been having a lot of recent work done, but is maintaining and possibly correcting previous work," he elaborated.
Dr Perry suggested that instead of recent surgical interventions, Donatella may have focused on maintaining past work and embracing non-invasive treatments.
"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."
Donatella has been candid about her cosmetic journey in the past. In interviews, she has revealed that Botox has been part of her routine and famously dismissed the concept of a “totally natural” look.
Dr Perry suggested that Donatella Versace began using fillers around 1993 at the age of 38.
By 2008, she is believed to have undergone eyelid surgery and a lower facelift. Two years later, in 2010, reports indicate she may have opted for additional fillers and a nose job.
Donatella Versace's views on beauty and cosmetic procedures
The designer has been open about her philosophy on cosmetic enhancements.
In a 2013 interview with Vogue, Donatella admitted to using Botox on her face but not on her body. She candidly stated, "I'm not like this genetically."
In a 2010 interview, she famously rejected the idea of a completely natural look. “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."
Donatella’s transformation, whether due to tweaks or simply a refreshed style, has left her fans inspired.
