Gianni Versace 10 years After His Killing

Milan is paying tribute to Gianni Versace on the 10th anniversary of his murder, hosting a star-studded ballet performance at La Scala on Sunday night.

The two-part ballet "Thank you, Gianni, with love," was written by Maurice Bejart, a choreographer for whom Versace designed stage costumes and a close friend of the late fashion designer.

The event was expected to draw celebrities including supermodels Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer and British actress Elizabeth Hurley.

Versace was gunned down at age 50 outside his oceanfront mansion in Miami Beach, Florida, on July 15, 1997, by Andrew Cunanan, who killed himself a few days later.

Until his death, Versace's sexy and daring style had made him a favorite of rock singers, Hollywood stars and other celebrities
