Cillian Murphy, Anna Wintour and Ice Spice were among the celebrities spotted at Versace's runway show at Milan Fashion Week.

The Italian luxury fashion house held their runway show on 28 February where they presented a F/W collection defined by moody colour palettes, punk aesthetics and homages to the label's 1997 collection, the last before founder Gianni Versace was killed in Miami.

The show, held at a historic tram depot in Milan, featured puffer jackets in the label's iconic print, pops of bright yellow, rich purple and coral red, and edgy designs in leather.

Cowboy boots featured, proving that the trend isn't going anywhere, while the slinky mini dresses that have defined Versace's collections recently were transformed into Medieval-esque chainmail dresses, complete with hoods and headpieces.

Murphy was just one of the celebrities spotted at the show, wearing a sleek black longline coat, paired with simple trousers, a slim black tie and a crisp white shirt.

The Cork native, who won an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of American theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer in the biographical war film, was named as the face of one of the brand's campaigns after his win.

Murphy had won Versace at various times over the press tour for Oppenheimer, among them a black custom Atelier Versace tailored suit to the the 96th Academy Awards, in Hollywood on March 10.

The outfit consisted of 'a wool tweed single-breasted jacket with contrast silk peaked lapels, a silk formal shirt with pleated front panel and concealed buttons, and mohair wool tailored pants with a large silk waistband', the brand posted on Instagram.

He appeared in a glamorous campaign wearing wearing key pieces from the men's Versace Icons collection.

"I am thrilled that Cillian is joining the Versace family. He is a truly exceptional actor and totally deserves his Oscar win," chief creative officer Donatella Versace told WWD at the time. "He is magnetic and mesmerising in front of a camera, and I loved seeing him bring Versace to life."
