This year’s Spring/Summer 2025 fashion shows were saucy. This time, it’s Bella Hadid who’s been in the spotlight, leaving sister Gigi behind. While Bella was walking the runway at New York Fashion Week, Gigi was busy launching a new knitwear collection line, Guest in Residence, and celebrated her daughter Khai’s 4th birthday on September 19th with an adorable Yoda cake. Just when we thought Gigi was done with the runway, she made a fabulous comeback at Versace’s Spring/Summer 2025 show. This week, she traded her Pennsylvania charm for the alluring streets of Milan.

Fashion Phenomenon’s Return
Gigi Hadid’s history with Versace started back in Autumn/Winter 2016 when Donatella Versace took a chance by mixing cool girls with reality stars. She wanted to show women’s power in all forms. Who knew that ‘sexiness’ could be so inclusive? A total power move. Gigi was ready, looking fresh and ready to own the runway.
Fast forward to Spring/Summer 2021, she made headlines again after her maternity leave, flaunting her auburn hair in a digital showcase. The face of Versace was back in action, proving that she’s always ready for the spotlight (she just needs one fabulous outfit at a time). Gigi stunned in the Fendace collab for Pre-Fall 2022. Let’s not forget her sans eyebrow look alongside Bella in Autumn/Winter 2022. Fashion history in the making! Gigi’s relationship with Versace is strong and clear: she loves the brand, and they love her back.
This season, Gigi strutted down the runway, showing off fringes and bold patterns. Donatella’s vision for SS25 focused on daytime glam. Picture chic outfits perfect for brunch or a stroll in the park—but with sky-high heels.

Versace’s Future-Facing Designs
Versace SS25 wasn’t just about pretty faces and flashy looks. Donatella brought some serious innovation to the show. One standout feature? The use of 3D printing for sequin gowns. Picture gowns that shimmer like stars in the night sky, but made with futuristic technology.
It’s like fashion and science had a baby, total vibe check. The collection was a nod to the late ’90s inspo, but futuristic. Know that, Versace mixed classic glam with modern tech. Each look was elegant yet contended for everyday wear.
Gigi and her crew hit the runway in styles that felt both fresh and nostalgic. With bright colours, shimmer and patterns aplenty, it was a total eye feast. Versace made major moves this time, Gigi ate and left no crumbs. If you ask us, fashion is not just about clothes; it’s about flexing your true self.
