Celebrate the legendary designer's birthday with a look back her famous bondage dress and all the other famous names who have worn it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Global fashion houses are known for their distinct visual codes, but few are as consistent as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/dua-lipa-grammy-versace-butterfly-dress">Versace</a>. Besides the obvious golden medusa head logo, the Italian Maison is reliably inspired by the &lsquo;90s and in-your-face sexuality. One of the best examples of these themes all packaged into one look is <a href="https://www.lofficiel.co.uk/Fashion/the-most-influential-families-in-fashion-from-versace-to-prada" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donatella Versace&rsquo;s</a> bondage dress.

The choker dress paired with thick golden hoops is still a defining snapshot of the decade's style and has been reinterpreted by Donatella for a variety of collections and celebrity appearances. In honor of the iconic <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/up-the-at-home-style-ante-with-versace-s-latest-collection-of-bold-bathrobes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Versace creative director&rsquo;s</a> birthday, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL rounds up the most notable iterations of her famous bondage dress.
