Overview
- At a Vogue Australia gathering at the Sydney Opera House, Bieber arrived in a butter‑yellow vintage Versace gown with a plunging neckline, crystal embellishments, and a ruffled, paneled skirt.
- The piece was pulled from archival dealer Raffe Vintage, with longtime collaborator Dani Michelle overseeing the styling.
- Though many outlets labeled it Spring 2006 womenswear, ELLE and Vogue report the dress debuted as a couture interlude on the Versace MAN spring/summer 2006 runway, originally worn by Isabeli Fontana.
- Donatella Versace amplified the moment by sharing Bieber’s photo on Instagram and praising the 2006 design, according to multiple reports.
- The appearance coincided with Rhode’s MECCA partnership launch, with online availability beginning February 12 and store rollout starting at flagship locations February 12 before expanding more broadly on February 13.
