"It’s Anya Taylor-Joy after hours, when she’s done with The Queen’s Gambit and turned fashion goth-ess." - Brandusa Niro
The model depicted in Versace or Bust exudes confidence and elegance with her striking blonde hair, bold features, and commanding posture. Dressed in a sleek pink outfit, she stands out against the muted grey and purple background, drawing attention to her confident stance and powerful gaze. The golden necklace hints at luxury, aligning with the title's nod to Versace and fashion opulence. Niro’s use of elongated proportions and dramatic styling highlights themes of glamour, self-assurance, and the performative nature of identity in the fashion world.
