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.

St. John who? Angelina Jolie has scored a modeling gig most people would kill to have.

Jolie has signed on to be the new face of Louis Vuitton.

The best part of her deal is that she's reportedly going to earn “close to $6 million” for the modeling contract and the contract is for print-only. Somewhere, some child is jumping for joy because of this 7-figure deal. That means humanitarian Angie gets to feed more hungry people.

Other famous faces that have modeled for the French label are Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Bono, Uma Thurman and many more.

Seeing that all those celebs have endorsed Louis Vuitton, I'm surprised it took so long for Jolie to score this gig.
