Valentino Garavani, Italy's haute couture "emperor," was laid to rest in Rome on Friday.
The biggest names in fashion – including Donatella Versace, Tom Ford and Maria Grazia Chiuri – gathered in the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli, a church designed by Michelangelo and built on the ruins of ancient Roman baths.
The Italian fashion designer died Jan. 19 in his residence in Rome at 93. His cause of death was not given.
A star-studded affair, the service brought together famed actresses like Anne Hathaway and Elizabeth Hurley, fresh off a court appearance. Olivia Palermo and fashion kingmaker Anna Wintour also attended.
