Last night was the elaborate launch party for the Versace for H&M collection. The celeb studded event featured a runway collection and after-party that was way over-the-top for a retailer that sells clothes in malls next to food courts.

The collection is what Donatella Versace is describing as a “Versace greatest hits” including replica’s from the Versace archives. Most of the collection is bold and bright patterns that suggest the opulence of retro Versace.

All the stars came out for the event in New York including Jessica Alba, Emma Roberts, Chace Crawford, Blake Lively, Abbie Cornish, Selma Blair, Chloe Moretz, Zachary Quinto, Uma Thurman, Zoe Kravitz and more. Even Oprah Winfrey was there. I can only assume she got lost on the way to a White House dinner.

Here’s some of what the stars were saying about the event and about Donatella Versace herself.
