Anne Hathaway and Cillian Murphy Dazzle in Versace Icons Campaign

Versace has unveiled its Icons 2024 Campaign with Academy Award-winning actors Anne Hathaway and Cillian Murphy at the forefront. The campaign, photographed by the renowned duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, showcases the actors in a series of portraits designed to embody the brand's themes of empowerment and bold style. Hathaway is depicted in a Boucle Tweed Cardigan Jacket and matching Mini Skirt, which aligns with Versace's legacy for women. Murphy, who is making his debut with Versace, is featured in a virgin wool single-breasted tailored jacket with Medusa Biggie detail, complemented by pants, a vest, and a silk Barocco foulard.

Creative director Donatella Versace has expressed admiration for both Hathaway and Murphy, lauding them as strong and iconic figures. The campaign coincides with Murphy's rising prominence in Hollywood, particularly following his recent Oscar win for his role in "Oppenheimer." This award marked a significant milestone as Murphy became the first Irish-born actor to receive the Best Actor award at the Oscars since 1990, an achievement he dedicated to 'peacemakers everywhere.'

Versace's collaboration with these actors is not just a nod to their sartorial presence but also a celebration of their distinguished careers. While Hathaway has previously been the face of the brand, the new campaign marks Murphy's introduction to the world of high fashion. In a behind-the-scenes video, Murphy shared insights into his approach to acting, revealing his preference to avoid the monitor while filming to maintain the authenticity of his character. The Icons campaign, which is set to be fully released on Wednesday, reflects Versace's ongoing commitment to aligning with personalities that resonate with its ethos of quality and individual expression.
