Decidedly sexy with an early '00s twist, Donatella Versace's Fall 2019 collection will give you Sex and the City [1] flashbacks. Nostalgia is an obvious part of the new lineup, most notably in Donatella's favorite portraits from Richard Avedon's archives, printed on t-shirts, but also in the bright color clashes, heavy gold embellishments, and slinky dresses that will take you back to '90s and early aughts-era fashion. Those slip dresses with draped necklines are the kind a Carrie Bradshaw [2] or a Samantha Jones might slip into on a date night or night out with the girls. Then there are the pieces that you imagine Samantha might just rip from the runway — dresses with bondage-style corsets and power suiting. Though suits are pared down with sneakers on the runway, a pair of stilettos would do the trick, too.

For the Carries, look to the satin skirts, layered with blazers and jackets. There's a touch of animal print, thigh-high tights, and body-con minis in electric hues that feel distinctly Versace, though moodier plaids, textured jackets, and creative layers — like a corset over a button-down — have a quirkier effect, more cerebral styling than overtly provocative.

Still, it's a Versace runway. There is sultry and sexy steeped in the DNA — that, and the allure of the supermodel. In 2019, that means a cast that includes Candice, Gigi, Bella, Kendall, and Kaia, but it was Stephanie Seymour who closed the whole thing out with a look that said "let me show you how it's done, girls."
