I had the pleasure of being Allegra’s hairdresser in 2004- 2005 in New York City. She is the most sweet, kind girl ever. She was very soft spoken. She would always ask me if I knew of any new perfumes that she could purchase for her mother for gifts. She was very thin at the time. I could not imagine the stress and pressure that she was induring . She was wonderful to work with and she should be treated with respect. As her is very respectful to others. No one never really knows what someone else is going through.
I had no clue that there was a younger generation of Versaces. It's also very interesting to see pictures of Donatella over the years. She was an absolutely beautiful woman but the plastic surgery has just made her into something very odd.
I knew about Allegra when she was young but only because it was reported she had ED which made sense because in some photos she looked so thin it was scary
Yes chain smoker, lots of smokers lines and wayyyyyy too much filler. Very hard to look at her face. I’m so glad to grow up at a time when we see what happens to plastic surgery victims later in life. Big lessons learned.
Who cares about Allegra's inheritance , I just pray she gets well and survives her eating disorder , god bless her , I bet her uncle would be heartbroken to see how vulnerable she looks , love and light Allegra and may Arch Angel Michael protect you my lovely ❤❤❤

The absolute best aspect of all of these Old Money videos is you, the Narrator. That voice, that flair of language--well, no one can even close. Your voice is why I listen. The script is genius, but the Voice with its inflection and cadence is the prize of this series.
Some sibling relationships can be very powerful and pure positive energy in respect for one another. I could only envy those kind of relationships when they come across my path. Gianni's relationship to his sister as a muse is very rare in sibling relationship. This tells me they were connected spiritually too. To inspire someone to create beautiful things is amazing within itself. The narrator has done a great job.
This is essentially a success story, even though it came at a price for Allegra. Her willingness to shun the spotlight and join the business shows her strength of character that is true to the family Versace. I wish her every success for the future
I have never been a follower of fashion or had interest in that whole world. But I always felt GV seemed such a genuine person. He seemed very respect women which obviously dovetailed with his tremendous skills in knowing what worked for women. He reminded me of George Michael in a lot of ways. I think fashion lost its gloss and glamour when he died.
Yes! She used be pretty, unfortunately she looks very manly. It's nice that Allegra prefers to be out of the limelight. And yes, as one poster suggested, she should take on her fathers name.
Allegra and her Family evolved Wisely, preserving the Excellence in high couture that signifies Versace as an Icon in fashon. Excellent documentay. THANK YOU!
Had the opportunity and luck to visit Giannis first store in London long time ago. Did not know his name but went in, because of the amazing clothes I saw in the window. The first shop I went into with welcome at the door and two body guards lookalike opening the locked door for me. And it was stunning in there! The design and fabric of the clothes by Gianni I never forget, they were beautiful like magic and I could see and feel the genius of Gianni. Also remember asking for the price for one of the dresses and it was 15 000 punds. which at that time was about 150 000 SEK which was my currency. Could not buy but it did not matter.
I didn't know this either, and I follow fashion.this the first time I've seen old pic of Donatella, she was beautiful, even though she is not so much now does not demeisus the excellent job she has done carrying Versace forward......Thanks for the story.
I knew absolutely nothing about Alegra, this was completely new and interesting information to me. Thank you for making this video. Alegra is a quiet, dignified person who had to fight demons in hetcearly years, keep herself in a background so she could make sense of fame, wealth, legacy of her uncle . She possibly had tense relationship with her talented, superachieving mother behind the scenes. I am very happy that all the wealth did not lead her to wastful life of partying, neverending leisure and vacationing on yachts and fancy destinations, which she obviously could. I gained tremendous respect for her and hope that being so super skinny will not contribute to some health issues. I hope that mother daughter team can continue collaboration and creating the stunning couture outfits, they are indeed out of this world! ❤❤🎉 Great content, thank you.
Donatella was so beautiful well into her late 30's but all that blow she did and abused for so long eventually destroyed her nose bridge until it collapsed. The tip of her nose once up right now pointed down and laid flat, completely morphing her entire facial structure. She lost all the delicate feminine features she once had and despite the plastic surgery her original beauty was never recovered, in fact, it only enhanced in an unfavorable way the masculine look she has now. The blow, blew the beauty away. Nonetheless, she is still an amazingly talented and strong boss lady.
There is a muscle that is responsible for pulling the nose downward with age. All it takes to fix it is a few units of botox. She's had a lip lift and wayyy too many fillers.
Donatella's nose and lips are like a Picasso painting gone terribly wrong-abstract in all the worst ways. Only in the twisted world of high fashion could such a 'masterpiece' be considered art. It's a realm where the same people who came up with the phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all," are also the ones who tell models they're a failure if they dare weigh a gram more than a toothpick. They worship at the altar of unattainable beauty standards, yet no one bats an eye at the absurdity of it all. These fashion tyrants strut around, deciding who's 'in' and who's 'out,' while pretending they're the paragons of kindness and grace. But let's be real-hell is not the VIP lounge they imagine. It's not some exclusive afterparty where everyone gets to mingle. No, it's a cold, empty void where they'll have plenty of time to reflect on every cruel word, every broken spirit they've left in their wake. Because in the abyss of darkness, there are no mirrors to admire your handiwork-just the echo of your own conscience.
Donatella works very hard, she has taste, talent and business acumen. She has kept Versace alive, and even made it stronger. A man doing the same job wouldn’t be judge by his looks.
Probably not - but keep in mind her looks are even more of an issue because they are the result of plastic surgery. So many of the comments are pointing out that she was prettier before it - so they are not just comments on her looks alone. Were it thought a man had ruined his looks with plastic surgery, I think a lot of people would be including that in their comments as well.
Money buys HEALTH and health is happiness. I am much happier now with money than what I was being poor, since now I can finally afford proper health care and healthy diet.
There's some truth to this. When you're poor you can't take care of yourself anywhere near as well. Teeth that are broken and falling out, poor health, no place to live, little food and it's often of poor quality if you do get it, you have to put up with abusive people more and more. Life without $ is beyond hard.
Never understood why she got so much and her brother didn’t? I was always aware because in the late 90s i was a ny runway model and one of my goals was to be cast as a Versace model. Many times, the designers would pay us in couture. It was a life dream to meet the genius designer himself. When he died in 97 i was devastated. think about and pray for Allegra all the time.
I've always admired Allegra Versace. For someone who is worth a fortune, she is like the rest of us plebs. Also, with a mother who looks like Janice from The Muppets, it's not surprising that Allegra keeps out of the spotlight!
What a greatly narrated doco. I love Versace’s creations, & that Donatella wanted to honour her brother & has done a fantastic job. I worry for Allegra’s weight battle. Those with long term EDs typically don’t live long (or healthy) lives, & I don’t blame her for falling victim to that (I’d be surprised if she DIDN’T), yet I’m also not sure she can carry this brand into the future. She doesn’t have the zest for life that her mother has or that her incredible uncle had.
Donatella is an amazing woman. I read about her story and her triumphs. Love Versace and its gorgeous clothes. Allegra is wise to be low key and sensible. Love them 👗
It's an amazing and extremely complex story much more complex than you've offered us here still I appreciate the beautiful job that you've done in this video I was involved with the family starting in 1981 and lived in Milan at Gianni's apartment back in 1982-1983. Gianni was without a doubt, one of if not the kindest, generous and caring people I have ever known. He even took me to the #MetBall in 1983, the year #DianaVreeland had a retrospective of #yvesstlaurent.
During Gianni’s lifetime donnatella was unable to market the Versace brand in some wealthy but repressive countries due to his openly gay lifestyle. In some ways I admire him for standing up for what he believed in and living his life honestly and not cowtowing to these repressive regimes
There wasn't ONE photo where Allegra as a CHILD, looked happy with her UNCLE Giovanni Versace. It gave me the creeps. Why did she look so SAD in every single picture??
Great video 😊 I’d also never wonder why someone would want to stay out of the limelight…unless you seek attention, you wouldn’t want to be in it 🤷🏼♀️ to have the fortune without the fame, is the ultimate goal for normal people
She was always, shall we say not good-looking. Sadly, plastic surgery merely enhanced her homeliness. The Versace siblings were extremely unattractive. I met a guy from Florence, their home town. He said, “They were extremely ugly.”

Interesting. Back in 1998 I was in UCLA with Allegra. She was 12-13. I remember seeing both her Mother and Father walking out of the mail Dr. Office many times. I also remember both my parents talking about them and how famous they were. Also saying obviously money doesn’t buy happiness. She was so very thin but so gorgeous.
It was very sad when Gianni was murdered. I remember that and when his sister took over. I’m very proud of the work that she has done and I did not know about Allegra her daughter. Very interesting story love it thank you for the coverage was surprised to hear about Blackstone, but they are keeping up with the
Pauvre fille. Quelle maigreur. Une force de caractère est nécessaire et essentielle pour ne pas sombrer dans l’anorexie quand on évolue dans le monde de la mode, des runways et des vedettes… et que notre mère est Donatella Versace.
@venetia6296 Money literally DOES buy health, lol! I used to be sick and poor and everything got SO much better with money, since proper health care and even healthy diet is extemely expensive. Am also happier with money.
I do feel very sorry for the daughter who looks extremely unhappy and although she's not as unattractive as her mother she certainly is not very good-looking with her thin thin body and her very hard face and her dead eyes. This documentary teaches us that wealth does not bring happiness or Joy or peace ☺️
She was pretty before the surgery WHY do these people do this to themselves? It’s not like their poor and have to have it done on the cheap! Their rolling in money and turn themselves into freaks
Wow, I am happy to see her on this video. ❤❤❤ That is sad what happened to Mr. Versace. I wonder does Mrs. Donatella have involvement with thee fragrance's Versace makes, they smell so good? No this is my first night learning about her.
I always thought something didn't sit right with Gianni Versace murder case Before his death he cut Donatella, His brother and their kids out of his heritage. Only Allegra got something. Looks like a destiny stolen in my opinion from something who was close to him... Remember the Gucci ?
Donnatella Versace has two children; Allegra (1986) and Daniel (1989). Daniel is not involved in the family business and keeps a very low key, is a musician and lives in London.
@10:07 A " family photo " with the parents front and center while their little lost child is in the background - neglected - that very bizarre photo tells us what to expect for Allegra's future.
But she carried on the brand…. The brand today still exists and it’s because of her being the creative director at the label. To easily dismiss her contributions is insane. Almost 30 yrs after Giannis death and she still continues
I was aware of her for more than 20 years now. We are the same age and I often think of her and I hope she is okay. We live in a world apart but for some reason I feel connected to her.
How can a life-experienced man like Versace leave everything to his little niece and cause so much chaos, even among his siblings, who had also dedicated themselves to him and given everything they could? He didn’t know how his little niece would turn out. Astonishing.
A very sweet girl. I knew her for several months. I never saw her in designer clothes in fact the opposite, she dressed like a little hippie/ sorority girl. Very polite. I got the impression she wanted to start her own fashion line which reflected her own taste. Nothing flashy, very low key.

She was a normal looking girl but decided to challenge God's creation & became a scary creature.

Agree
Donatella looks disfigured now. She was pretty when she was natural
She and her ex-husband must have had the same cosmetic surgeon. Both their nose tips are completely botched.
Donatella’s plastic surgeon needs to be fired!! How can a surgeon ruin her face like that? She was so pretty.😔
I don’t think it’s only surgery, I wouldn’t be surprised if she snorted cocain
More like a cosmetic surgeons work
She brought it on herself -- trying to turn the clock back ...
IMO - I would think Donatella could see for herself the results of the surgery, and then seek corrective procedures from an esteemed surgeon.
@@butterflygirl2285You'll just make it worse
😮this reminds me of Athena Onassis
I've been seeing this similarity a lot in these comments. It will be my next doc to watch ;) thank you
Donnatela was pretty before that horrible surgery,her daughter can change her last name to her father’s ,love your voice and how you tell the stories.
It's Ai
She can be like Riley keogh and use her fathers last name and work her way through a competitive business through talent and hard work
Yes! She used be pretty, unfortunately she looks very manly. It's nice that Allegra prefers to be out of the limelight. And yes, as one poster suggested, she should take on her fathers name.
Rich people have funny ways to see the world and themselves... she was gorgeous as al Naturel Donatella ..now she is a muppet....
Her legal name is Allegra Versace Beck. Though, she is also known as Allegra Versace.
Allegra has very sad eyes even in the childhood pictures.
Yes she does. Her father doesn't look like a happy person either.
Wouldn’t be surprised if she was passed around. Thats what that cult does.
Allegra and her Family evolved Wisely, preserving the Excellence in high couture that signifies Versace as an Icon in fashon. Excellent documentay. THANK YOU!
You can't buy PEACE, it is PRICELESS...
Nor privacy.
And money doesn't equates peace
sure you can. 800 million dollars? you can buy an island and live peacefully ever after.

little more of her story. thank you xx
Her food consumption is the only thing she has control over. She is very very unhappy.
You're so welcome!

She looked so much better before the knife!
Most do. It’s crazy what they are doing to their faces and bodies

I just wish more people will worship such brands less and put their money to more good use to grow their own wealth.
They would both be so much prettier if they would lose the black eyeliner. It makes them look hard and older than their years.
It’s pretty smart. She’s prob surrounded by male gold-diggers all the time. Makes her seem much more unapproachable.
Not every woman wants to be pretty. Let them be.

Money buys HEALTH and health is happiness. I am much happier now with money than what I was being poor, since now I can finally afford proper health care and healthy diet.
Right anyone who says money doesn’t matter has never been without enough
There's some truth to this. When you're poor you can't take care of yourself anywhere near as well. Teeth that are broken and falling out, poor health, no place to live, little food and it's often of poor quality if you do get it, you have to put up with abusive people more and more. Life without $ is beyond hard.

It was a life dream to meet the genius designer himself. When he died in 97 i was devastated. think about and pray for Allegra all the time.
Donatella looks like a horror movie. 🤦🏽♀️
You ain't kidding. I mean that's downright scary
She does I think the word is ghastly
Hopefully Allegra can hire a better make up artist
What happened to her face she wasn't too bad looking 😮🤔😒

Why do they use such awful eye makeup ?
Look like raccoons.

And why was he not mentioned during this recap of Allegra's life?
It was very sad when Gianni was murdered. I remember that and when his sister took over. I’m very proud of the work that she has done and I did not know about Allegra her daughter. Very interesting story love it thank you for the coverage was surprised to hear about Blackstone, but they are keeping up with the
michael kprs had enough money to buy versace. that didnt make sense to me.
Pauvre fille. Quelle maigreur. Une force de caractère est nécessaire et essentielle pour ne pas sombrer dans l’anorexie quand on évolue dans le monde de la mode, des runways et des vedettes… et que notre mère est Donatella Versace.
Money buys everything but not happiness
well...!!!..sometimes it can indeed.....
You can rent it for a couple of hours though…….
Better to be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.
Or health
@venetia6296 Money literally DOES buy health, lol! I used to be sick and poor and everything got SO much better with money, since proper health care and even healthy diet is extemely expensive. Am also happier with money.
The narrator has an astounding voice ! It makes you fully engrossed in the subject. Kudos for him !
I've never thought of her as being happy. It seemed her uncle provided the love & stability growing up, but what she hasn't had since
“It’s ver•sa•che… not ver•sa•chee” ~Donatella
Nobody ever talks about Santo Versace, his brother.
He was a great man.
Or his other sister/s
But, what does Allegra actually do? How involved in the business is she?
I do feel very sorry for the daughter who looks extremely unhappy and although she's not as unattractive as her mother she certainly is not very good-looking with her thin thin body and her very hard face and her dead eyes. This documentary teaches us that wealth does not bring happiness or Joy or peace ☺️
Wait! Is this about Donatella ? Your focus is 95% on Donatella, and NOT ALLEGRA!😮
Congratulations - I'm happy she, was able to succeed and move past, any unhappiness. She's, creative and I'm still in line for the fashion.
She was pretty before the surgery WHY do these people do this to themselves? It’s not like their poor and have to have it done on the cheap! Their rolling in money and turn themselves into freaks
I love your choice of words and the phrasing of the sentences, even in previous videos, keep it up 👏❤🎉
Thank you! 😃
There are huge chunks of this story missing.
Wow, I am happy to see her on this video. ❤❤❤ That is sad what happened to Mr. Versace. I wonder does Mrs. Donatella have involvement with thee fragrance's Versace makes, they smell so good? No this is my first night learning about her.
Blackstone! Hopefully wallstreet wont destroy the legacy of Versace.
That’s a pretty name Allegra
If only it wasn’t an allergy medication
Nope
I know who Donatella is but I didn't know much about her children so this very insightful.
”Every penny of it was earned.” That is ridicilous. Is not like she was dirt poor and actually started from zero, come on.
They’re saying that in reference to Donatella. Which, she has rightfully earned.
Exactly. She "earned every penny" by inheriting her brother's business!
@@samanthafairweather9186 she’s also kept the house running since his death in 1997.
One must always pay the price.
@@samanthafairweather9186no her daughter inherited it.
I always thought something didn't sit right with Gianni Versace murder case Before his death he cut Donatella, His brother and their kids out of his heritage. Only Allegra got something. Looks like a destiny stolen in my opinion from something who was close to him... Remember the Gucci ?
The name is big , family troubles are not at the forefront, we all have different levels of struggles ! I hope they are healthy and at peace
Did some security for this family in 1999 this is only half of the truth....it's allot more complex !
Do share what you think about this
@@bluesparrow92 it may cause too much trouble … I was security in London in 1999 for a specific reason ! not sure I can comment
@@simonrodgers9105 well you should have shut up then
Eliki Pokarov my friend !
@@selenaclarkeyou’re a little harsh, don’t you think?
Thank you for your video about the Versace family and their life. I like the products, but not the surgery drama of Donnatela.
Very smart woman, she's living like regular folks so that she can actually enjoy life, she's got this "
je ne sais quoi" about her
Please donatella had an army of people making designs for her. She didn't do this all by her lonesome
Donatella deserves her flowers
Wondering why you did not mention her brother, pretty much of this was already known.
OMG! Allegra was anorexic! How sad.
My vintage Versacé pieces hit different when I think Gianni only designed 19 years. That’s insane.
So happy to see them triumph!
Italian still have the best family unity no matter how much money is involve.
Cool narration!😎
Donnatella Versace has two children; Allegra (1986) and Daniel (1989). Daniel is not involved in the family business and keeps a very low key, is a musician and lives in London.
i wish donnatella would have not done any work on her face, she looked so naturally beautiful
It just goes to show. You can have all the wealth and fame in the world and be so unhappy.
I enjoyed this alot...thanks. I had no idea of this story.
Fascinations ,I am grateful that they still run the company with success
No i didn't know about the VERSACE STORY!!! Thank you ❤
Our pleasure!
Cable Knit🎉
Lovely relaxing vlog, I throughly enjoy the at home ones! Thank you for sharing xx
@10:07 A " family photo " with the parents front and center while their little lost child is in the background - neglected - that very bizarre photo tells us what to expect for Allegra's future.
They look like a very unhappy family.
ahhhh these were the MASTERS of FASHIONS
Technically...it's Gianni's money..Donatella only became famous after her brother died. But money is not everything...
But she carried on the brand…. The brand today still exists and it’s because of her being the creative director at the label. To easily dismiss her contributions is insane. Almost 30 yrs after Giannis death and she still continues
Gianni should had left half of his money to his sister not to the neice who have nothing to do with the business
I guess since he had no kids that to him is the equivalent of leaving money to his child.
I was aware of her for more than 20 years now. We are the same age and I often think of her and I hope she is okay. We live in a world apart but for some reason I feel connected to her.
I don't think videos of Allegra should be on UA-cam. Everyone knows of her struggles, we should stay away from her life, let her be Happy
I never heard of her. I like these kinds of stories.
How can a life-experienced man like Versace leave everything to his little niece and cause so much chaos, even among his siblings, who had also dedicated themselves to him and given everything they could? He didn’t know how his little niece would turn out. Astonishing.
Thank you for this story....
I was not aware..and I have learned. Thank you
This wasnt about Allegra. It was ahout Versace in general.
Versace fan here. I had very little idea that Donatella had a daughter or kids. Very beautiful. Enjoyed the story of Allegra so much.
Guess u weren’t as much as s Versace fan like u thought u were then huh???🙄🙄
Glad you enjoyed it!
A very sweet girl. I knew her for several months. I never saw her in designer clothes in fact the opposite, she dressed like a little hippie/ sorority girl. Very polite. I got the impression she wanted to start her own fashion line which reflected her own taste. Nothing flashy, very low key.
Thanks for sharing!
Blackstone owns half the world.
