Our chances of getting free clothes for life from Versace are going out of the window with this one, but we were never counting on that happening anyway! When Gianni Versace's life was cut short, maybe people feared for the future of the fashion brand. That's because they weren't counting on the knowledge and skill of his sister Donatella, who took over the reins of the company and has managed to take it to new heights. She looks stylish and scary at the same time, but she's only scary until you realize she resembles a Muppet.
There are two features you notice before anything else on Versace's face - the eyelashes, and the huge lips. While you're thinking about that, take a look at the face of Janice from 'The Muppet Show.' Same lips. Same lashes. Depending on how Versace wears her hair, they're even sometimes a match in that department! Janice is something of a vain character on the show, always taking her style as seriously as her music. We wonder where she gets it from?
