Lady Gaga and Donatella Versace walked into the Versace Spring-Summer 2014 show together, further cementing the fact that they are best friends. The Artpop star and the Italian designer showed up at the runway show holding hands, both dressed in black. Gaga wore a hooded and v-necked, long black gown, while Versace had on a sheer, ruched, little black dress.
The pop superstar sat front row at the show beside fashion photographer Mario Testino, while Lady Versace presented her latest collection to the world amidst Lady Gaga music. The final parade had the models walking to the song, Born This Way. Gaga posed with the runway models (supermodel Karlie Kloss included) afterwards, and posted a few tweets about the show as well. One said, "ARTPOP pumping as Karlie marched down the runway, Grace Jones by way of Just Dance & Donatella herself. @versace was a dream come true tonight."

This is not the first time that Gaga and Versace have done some friendly public display of affection. The friendship started when Versace started dressing Gaga. The designer even gave Gaga the pick of her fashion house's archives for her Edge of Glory music video. She also designed the costumes for the controversial star's Born This Way Ball tour.
Gaga then wrote Versace a song, simply titled, Donatella, which came out in her latest album, Artpop. The lyrics included the lines, "Check it out, take it in. Who's that bitch, she's so thin. She's so rich, and so blonde. She so fab, it's beyond. What do you wanna wear this spring? What do you think is the new thing? What do you wanna wear this season? Donatella, Donatella."
Donatella was so thrilled; she wrote Just Jared a response that said, "I would like to thank Gaga for her geniality, creativity, incredible talent and super bitchiness. I am honored to be her friend and of course I love the song! Love, DV."
Their appearance at the Versace SS14 show was only the icing on the cake. The two have collaborated for the House of Versace's spring campaign, as Versace named Gaga the new face of the brand. In the ads shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the diva appears in Versace threads, with hair exactly like the designer's -- long, straight, and platinum blonde.
