Tonight in Milan, Versace brought a fantasy underwater dreamspace to life for its spring 2021 show. Described as a "utopian settlement on the seabed ruled by Medusa," there was aquatic blue lighting, sculptural sand relics, and a parade of bright, print-splashed, and crystal starfish-encrusted clothes.
Speaking to the season s underwater theme—quite literally—was the sea of soaked strands. From Joan Smalls raven lengths to Mica Arganaraz s shaggy brown curls, many of the models had their hair intricately shellacked along the forehead and down either side of the neck; sometimes with a set of barrettes and ends tucked underneath a chunky necklace to luxe, layered effect.

Furthering designer Donatella Versace s guiding "principles of empowerment, strength and beauty," were the neon-bright fuchsia lips worn by a few of the models including Precious Lee, her crimson pout popping above her flouncy, retina-burning mini-dress.
With lustrous, wet-look hair and skin that shined to fresh-out-of-the-water effect, the mermaid beauty sent a distinct message: Sea and be seen.
