“So 20 years ago (holy f—) i was a kid standing a room of what would be probably thousands of guys trying to get picked for the shows in Milan,” the star wrote, reflecting on his career as a model. “God knows how many they actually saw. Hoping to get picked to walk in the spring show. I never got to walk for Versace in the maybe 6 or 7 seasons i went to the shows.”

“But last night [at the Met Gala] to get to wear this……. other worldly robe…….. and to wear the most classic Versace tux. Cut boxy like Gianni [Versace] wore in the 90’s was beyond my wildest dreams,” theMagic Mikestar continued. “Donatella thank you so much for having and inviting and letting me wear such elegant and magical clothes. it was dream like. You are a legend!and a myth.@donatella_versace”
