Donatella Versace Reveals Why She Ripped Off Dua Lipa's Skirt At The Grammys

Donatella Versace has revealed why she ripped off Dua Lipa's skirt on stage at the Grammys this week.

While Dua - alongside Megan Thee Stallion - was presenting an award for Best New Artist on Sunday night, Donatella walked up on stage and ripped off a section of both of their dresses.

You can watch what happened below:

Posting about the incident on Instagram, Donatella explained why she ripped the skirt, explaining that it was a "fashion emergency".

Dua, 26, had been presenting the award alongside Megan Thee Stallion, 27, when the pair recreated Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston's legendary 1998 VMAs moment.

Mariah and Whitney famously suffered a fashion 'faux-pas' on stage when they both wore the 'one of a kind' same brown dress while presenting the award for Best Male Video.

In the iconic stunt, they both tore away the skirts of their dresses, showing their gowns were unique all along.

Recreating the moment, Megan Thee Stallion jokingly called out Dua, telling her: "You stole my look!"

"I was told I had the exclusive. I'm going to have to have a talk with Donatella," said Dua.

Just seconds later, Donatella arrived on stage, and tore away both skirts, revealing different dresses underneath.

"Now we both look like winners!" joked Megan, before she and Dua presented the award for Best New Artist to Olivia Rodrigo.

Reacting to the recreation, fans took to social media to call the moment 'iconic', praising both Dua, Megan Thee Stallion and Donatella.
