59-year-old Donatella Versace looked to be feeling the heat a bit when she arrived in steamy Sao Paulo earlier this week. She was there to launch an exclusive Versace collection designed for Brazilian store Riachuelo, which has more than 220 shops – Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima is fronting the ad campaign. And Donatella’s high-shine appearance has been raising quite a few eyebrows on social media with some commenting that her face looked as though it was melting in the Brazilian sunshine.
