Looking for an over-the-top collection featuring vibrant colors and loads of glamour for your closet? Yeah? Us too! New York City was the perfect place to find it on Tuesday, Nov. 8, as Versace for H&M made its runway debut. Designed by the Italian fashion house’s head honcho, Donatella Versace, the highly anticipated collection featured a multitude of looks including metallic dresses, neon suits and wild prints.

Celebrities and fashion movers and shakers filed into Pier 57, renamed ‘Versace for H&M Hall on the Hudson’ for the event, to view the latest high-end designer and retail store collaboration. Big names like Oprah, Jennifer Hudson and Zoe Kravitz were all in attendance. After the models Sashay-ed Shante-d down the catwalk, Nicki Minaj and Prince performed. This leads us to believe that the afterparty was just as entertaining and as impressive as the designs.
