WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Donatella Versace says she was inspired by the energy, glamour and power of Hollywood to show her latest line in Los Angeles, instead of Milan. She needed one more thing to make it work: good weather. And so, Versace was forced to move her show ahead by a day. Her runway show Thursday took advantage of grand LA scenery, setting her fall-winter collection against snow-capped mountains and downtown skyscrapers. Fittingly for a pre-Oscar show, there were supermodels on the runway and celebs in the audience, including Elton John, Cher, Anne Hathaway, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, Ke Huy Quan, Ariana DeBose, Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, Paris Hilton, Channing Tatum and Jeff Bezos.
