Armani's subdued elegance is all very well and good, but this is, after all, Tinseltown. People want to be noticed--and Versace's glittery, bejeweled objets de couture certainly can't hurt. Honoring the Italian designer at a fashion show and dinner were, clockwise from upper right, ubermodel Claudia Schiffer looking like something out of Pirates of the Carribean in her Versace.
