Over the years, Donatella’s appearance has often been a topic of public discussion and fascination.

In past interviews, she has maintained a pragmatic attitude toward beauty and aging.

“I’m not like this genetically, I use tons of cream and take care of my hair and skin,” she said at theVogue Festivalin 2013.

She has also stated she doesn’t believe in womenkeeping things completely “natural.”

“I don’t even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables,” she said in a 2010interview.

The high fashion queen’s signature blonde hair has been a defining feature of her style and public image for decades, and the origins of her striking locks date back to her childhood.

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

“Back then Gianni was so obsessed with Pravo, an iron-straight-haired ‘blond,’ that he persuaded eleven-year-old Donatella todye her own hairjust like his heroine,” Ingrid Sischy, the co-author ofVersace,wrotein the book’s first chapter.

“They both knew their mother would have a fit, but the adoring younger sister went along with her brother’s invention of her new blond look,” wrote Ingrid, “and she has never looked back.”

One fan thought the “toned down makeup and more natural hair” helped “a great deal” in Donatella’s recent red carpet appearnace
