Fashion Group International held their style awards last night – the Night of the Stars awards at Cipriani Wall Street in New York. Just about every style making celebrity was there, with stars like Kate Bosworth and J-Lo drawing rave reviews for their outfits. And while they did indeed look amazing, I was stunned by Allegra Versace’s appearance. Allegra has been battling anorexia for a long time, yet it appears that she’s not getting any better.
To say that she looks skeletal is an understatement. What I find oddest of all is that supposedly anorexics hide their bodies because they feel they still look fat or unsightly. Yet Allegra is in a sleeveless dress with a short hemline. Her outfit is beautiful and very appropriate for the event, but it’s definitely not some quiet little number that’s meant to leave her unnoticed.
Hopefully someone in her life is doing something to get her some help. It seems like she’s been dealing with anorexia for a very long time, and even though she’s young her body can only take so much of it.
Here’s Allegra Versace, Donatella Versace and Balthazar Getty at the awards last night in Manhattan. Also pictured are Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Kate Bosworth, Karl Lagerfeld, Lindsay Price, Christian Louboutin, Ashley Olsen, Debra Messing, Georgina Chapman, Marcia Gay Harden, Penn Badgley, Isaac Mizrahi and Mamie Gummer, Blake Lively, and Julianna Margulies.

Oh the irony.
Her mother looks like a constipated cat, and she looks like a rat with the runs.
Oh God, felt such a pang looking at these pics of her. Please let someone be looking out properly for her because this girl is ill. They’re so upsetting that I’m not even going to make a comment about the equally dreadful but far less important horrors going on on the lower half of her mother’s face.
poor girl… she really seems to have a major problem… i think much deeper than the skinny epidemic that has been plagueing hollywood lately… i hope she gets well soon 🙁
Jesus. 😯
And she controls a large stake of Versace, too. Gianni left Allegra a chunk of the company. I wonder if Donatella isn’t acknowledging the problem because she wants to get complete control over her daughter’s holdings.
Just sayin’. This has been going on for a while.
It’s sad because it seems to have been going on for a llllong time, and you would think that the uber rich have access to the best help there is out there. It’s mind-numbing why she has not been helped yet. I saw a pic of her from before and she was really pretty. So sad. Maybe those close to her think she looks fine.
Off topic: I luv luv luv J-Los dress…she always looks amazing
Is it my imagination, or is Donatella Versace getting freakier looking by the minute? Jocelyn Wildenstein has nothing on this woman! Also, Debra Messing looks terrible in that dress.
Kaiser – for ages. But that’s anorexia for you. Like addiction, no one else can make it better. I know Donatella is scary etc but she’s been through her own problems and I’d say she’s no different to any other mother in a similar situation; just desperately hoping and praying that her daughter comes good.
I think she actually looks a bit better. she is very brave wearing that dress – don’t forget she doesn’t see herself as skeletal.
she seems to be getting better albeit very very slowly
Donatella Versace- she look-a like-a mahn.
Her eyes no longer bear a concentration camp survivor’s shock at life. Her shoulders look to have some form of muscle on them, but her poor wrists look swollen. The third one (close-up of hand holding with mommy) seems to show some serious lack of blood flow into her wrists and hands. To the point it looks like her diddly little bracelet has left a whelp. Poor kid, looks like I could snap her arm like a toothpick with just my pinkie and thumb.
Donatella really needs to stop telling women they can’t dress right, and spend some of that money on helping her daughter. Stop with the fake tans, the horrible lip plumping, and get the little girl into a hospital with some serious mental health help!
Scary and sad how she seems completely helpless in these photos. Needing to hold on to someone for security. And Donatella.. WTF? Not only does her face look.. I don’t even know what.. but her eyes are totally vacant. She looks completely stoned.
She looks in as bad if not worse condition than when she was appearing in public with the feeding tube up her nose. This girl is a walking corpse. Look at her hands– they’re blue. She’ll be dead before her 23rd birthday.
She’s not even 23? Good god! Addiction ages you.
Aw man 🙁 I’m positive she WAS getting some help not too long ago, maybe a year ago? And for a VERY short while she was looking FANTASTIC. Pretty obvious she’s relapsed. Such a shame. 🙁
She looks a little bit better than the last picture I saw of her, granted it’s been awhile. I hope she IS getting better and learning the skills to stay that way.
So she actually looked worse than this at one point?
devilgirl: Definitely not your imagination regarding the mother.
You’d think she’d be freezing in that dress. Anorexics are always cold!
This poor girl looks HORRIBLE. What a devastating illness 🙁 I remember pictures of her as a little girl in that Vogue spread on Versace’s Miami House (the one he was murdered in front of). She was beautiful, healthy-looking, and had such a vivacious and mischievous look about her. What happened between childhood and puberty (and on into early adulthood) is tragic.

“I wonder if Donatella isn’t acknowledging the problem because she wants to get complete control over her daughter’s holdings.”
What an ignorant thing to say. 🙄
I was once anorexic, but not to the extent that she is. Even so, it still takes YEARS to get over fully- its not just a “hey I think Im tired of this, lemme stop” thing. I am sure Donatella has more than enough resources to do everything to help her daughter and that she wants to and does. Part of it it supporting her daughter even WHILE she is anorexic– especially sweet is how Dona holds her hand and smiles with her despite her obvious condition. That is so perfect- speaking form my own experience, it was great when I wasnt rejected or just picked on for being the way I was; it was a relief when people could ‘accept it’, even without condoning it. Negativity doesnt help them, its usually what starts the whole thing, so less is better.
I wish her the best, and will probably see her looking much healthier over a very long period of time. Her pressures to look that way are a lot greater than mine were, I am sure. So paitence is the key- both toward her, and for her to have with herself, if this is ever going to be resolved. 🙂
Donatella makes me wanna cry when I look at her lips.
So much money, such plain UGLY done and redone face… 🙁
Her hair looks really nice for being so thin. Doesn’t it typically fall out and thin for girls with eating disorders? Hopefully she is getting a bit better.
she has been getting help. i hope she gets better soon..
I don’t think you ever really get over eating disorders just cope with them better.
I don’t think it’ll help that she’s involved in the fashion business either.
The Botox is sooooo obvious on Donatella and………….Allegra? Which came first? The girl or the pill?
Seen a pic of Allegra on the Daily Mail, where her photo is shown side-by-side with one of Juliette Lewis – who has never been known as anything other than a beanpole and Juliette looks posivitley womanly in comparison.

@Wow – Ignorant? Because I think Donatella is a screwed up woman who isn’t taking her daughter’s illness seriously? Or because I think Donatella seems obsessed with money and status, even at the expense of her daughter’s health? Or ignorant because you wanted to troll around, randomly bashing people?
The statement about Donatella wanting Allegra’s holding is stupid. I’m sure she has her problems and does indeed appear to not being doing much to help her daughter but that has nothing to do with Allegra’s interest in Versace.
Allegra most likely only sees fat when she looks in the mirror, so sad.
🙄 Yeah, because nothing is ever about money.
Whoa! She looks…..interesting…
Allegra is very beautiful, but is obviously suffering from severe anorexia-nervosa! I hoe she gets the help she needs to enable her to improve her health and to get her weight back up to a healthy one. She has so much going for and so much to live for. I can’t imagine why she would starve herself and whittle away to nothing. She could be a model if she were at a normal weight.
Please get help Allegra! I think you’re a beautiful young lady!
Best Regards;

Allegra has put on a tiny little bit of weight but still looks anorexic and has the face of a 60 year old.
how does her mother let her out, shes wearing a pro ana bracelet. never the less looks beutiful
How can you guys say anything bad about her face? Allegra is a beautiful, beautiful girl.
Granted, a pound or two probably wouldn’t hurt, but damn, it’s her life, she should be able to live it however the heck she wants.
What do these anorexic girls don’t see in themselves that all others do see, a sick person in a skeleton? I guess that is why they call it a disease. Model skinny is one thing but about to die is another.
