NAOMI CAMPBELL, Claudia Schiffer, Karl Lagerfeld, Rupert Everett and Jessica Alba were amongst the stars who turned out in tribute to Gianni Versace last night, as Milan hosted a sumptuous ballet created to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the legendary designer's death. The show, entitled Thanks, Gianni, With Love, was choreographed by Maurice Béjart, with whom Versace collaborated on 12 ballets in his lifetime. "We're going to dance for you a few tidbits that you created," Béjart said, looking at a projected image of Versace, before a ballerina in a long black and white dress with a full net skirt took to the stage. Dancers wore a selection of costumes created by Versace prior to his death, along with new designs by his sister, Donatella Versace, who now heads up his fashion empire. "Ballet was one of his favourite things," said Donatella, arriving at the La Scala opera house with her daughter, Allegra, for the performance. "I cannot think of a better way to mark this anniversary. It is something he would have loved."
