No one does downright sexy partywear like Donatella Versace. Slinky dresses are what this Italian excels at. Versace may have been the epitome of bling-tastic style back in the '80s but in more recent years the label has grown up.

We recently stopped by the Versace showroom to check out their Pre-Fall 2010 collection. The press preview showcased Donatella's personal favorites, one of which was the above mullet skirt. In all fairness, they didn't call it a mullet skirt; we did, after immediately noticing that a person wearing this would be essentially sporting "business on the right, party on the left."
