Donatella Versace was interviewed at Oxford University yesterday, and—of course—did not disappoint. After proclaiming that she wants to dress Queen Elizabeth in black leather, she told a delightful tale about the time Elizabeth Taylor robbed her. She said: "My brother collected vintage jewellery and I was wearing a ring that he had given me.

She put it on and breathed, "Oh darling, thank you, you didn’t have to do that.’ But I hadn’t!" [WWD

Hey Steve Madden, what’s it like working with the Olsen twins? “Painful.
