"Gina Gershon does an extraordinary job of channeling fashion icon Donatella Versace in Lifetime's *House of Versace,* if I may say so. I remember when I first interviewed the real Donatella at an awards ceremony more than 20 years ago, before her larger-than-life glamour and personality had completely bloomed: She still wore her hair in a tightly bound topknot. Times, thankfully, have changed. I asked guests at the film's Cinema Society premiere at the Museum of Modern Art to describe their own Versace moments:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\n__Gwendoline Christie__ (*Game of Thrones*): \\\"I did have a Versace gold chain-mail short dress with the cowl neck. My parents bought it for me when I was quite young, and I wore it one recent New Years Eve. I was doing such a high volume of leg kicks, I got into the taxi at the end of the night and it just disintegrated. [At that point] I was just wearing a pair of flesh colored tights and heels. It's gone forever. But I had a phenomenal evening!\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Gina Gershon:__ \\\"I used to have a great Versace bag that was my aunt's. I went to a very fashionable benefit. The bag was so beautiful and I left it on the table to say hello to someone, and somebody stole it. It was gorgeous, and I was saying I couldn't believe it happened, and someone at my table said that they probably knew exactly who it was.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Susan Lucci:__ \\\"I own some Versace dresses. They're sexy. He wasn't afraid to show off a woman, and I always liked that about his designs. And they fit me very well\u2014I'm half Italian, maybe it is because they use Italian fit models.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Donna Murphy__(*House of Versace*): \\\"I wore a Versace gown when I went to the Oscars with Joel Gray. They loaned it to me, and it was beautiful. It was this champagne and gold, sort of sprayed on my body. So comfortable, and it made me feel like a golden goddess.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n__Anne V__ (model): \\\"Yes, I've met Donatella. She's intimidating. But when I walk in her show, I'm not scared\u2014it's like I've really made it. One time we had a long, high ponytail and black-and-blue makeup. It was just one of those moments when you walk out and think, Damn, I'm a hot, sexy bitch.\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __Related Links:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Gina Gershon Reveals How, Exactly, She Became Donatella Versace](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2013/10/gina-gershon-house-of-versace-lifetime.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [Donatella Versace: 10 Things Every Woman Should Have](http://www.allure.com/shopping/fashion-designer/2013/donatella-versace-style-essentials\\\\#intro)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u2022 [View From the Red Carpet: How Naomi Watts Became Princess Diana](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2012/10/view-from-the-red-carpet-naomi-watts-princess-diana.html)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
