Versace shows up again
Versace pumps appeared on the red carpet when Anne Hathaway paired Versace shoes with a Christian Louboutin bag at the 'Mother Mary' premiere. (wwd.com) That moment was noted alongside previews of Milano Moda Design — running April 19–26 — as an example of luxury names keeping visibility through footwear and cross-category storytelling.

Anne Hathaway put Versace back in the red-carpet shoe conversation this week, wearing the label’s pumps to the April 13 “Mother Mary” screening in New York. (wwd.com) Footwear News said Hathaway paired Versace shoes with a Christian Louboutin bag at the Metrograph event, while a separate Women’s Wear Daily report placed the screening on Monday, April 13, 2026. (wwd.com 1) (wwd.com 2) That mix mattered because both houses are selling beyond their signature categories. Versace’s United States site currently groups pumps and slingbacks as a core women’s shoe line, and Christian Louboutin’s United States site sells handbags alongside shoes and beauty. (versace.com) (us.christianlouboutin.com) Versace’s current assortment includes Medusa-branded slingbacks and kitten heels, including a La Medusa leather slingback listed at $995 on its United States site. Christian Louboutin’s bag pages now span clutches, shoulder bags, totes and mini bags. (versace.com 1) (versace.com 2) (us.christianlouboutin.com) The timing also lines up with Milano Moda Design, the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana program that runs alongside Salone del Mobile and Fuori Salone in Milan. The group’s press office says the 2026 edition runs from April 19 to April 26. (cameramoda.it 1) (cameramoda.it 2) Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana describes Milano Moda Design as a calendar for home-collection presentations and design events staged by fashion brands. In other words, labels that first built their names in clothing or shoes are also using furniture, objects and interiors to stay in view during Milan’s design week. (cameramoda.it) (cameramoda.it) Hathaway’s appearance landed in the middle of a busy fashion stretch for her. Footwear News on April 15 rounded up her 2026 shoe appearances across the Oscars, Mexico City and Tokyo, showing how celebrity styling now moves labels across multiple premieres in quick succession. (wwd.com) So the sightline here was narrow but clear: one actress, one April 13 screening, and two luxury labels sharing the frame just days before Milan’s fashion-and-design crossover week begins.
