Versace has become known for its sky-high platform shoes. The luxury brand’s “Medusa Aevitas” pumps became hugely popular with celebrities after first appearing at the Fall 2021 fashion show. Following their release in a range of colors and materials, the bold statement heels featuring a closed square toe and Medusa Head charm became ubiquitous.

Everyone from Anne Hathaway to Olivia Rodrigo to Elle Fanning and Chrissy Teigen has showcased the outrageous 7-inch model. Nicole Peltz even wore the “Medusa Aevitas” in white satin for her star-studded wedding to Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022.

For shoes, she sported brown leather platform boots that hugged her calves and hit just below the knee. The slightly slouchy style boasted a pointed toe set atop a huge stacked platform sole and ultra-high, curvy block heels.

Donatella Versace took on the role of vice president when her older brother Gianni Versace founded his luxury namesake brand in 1978. Up until Gianni’s untimely death in 1997, Donatella served as a creative consultant for her brother. After taking time away from the Italian fashion house, she stepped into the roles of chief designer and vice president of the board. Throughout the 2000s, Donatella increased the brand’s exposure across the globe, really making the company her own. This led to huge celebrities like Madonna, Beyonce, and Jennifer Lopez wearing Versace over and over.
