Here’s what Penelope Cruz looks like as Donatella Versace in “The Assassination of Gianni Versace”

Anticipation for The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story continues to ramp up.

The 2018 series, helmed by executive producer Ryan Murphy, stars Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan, Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace, Ricky Martin as Gianni’s boyfriend Antonio D’Amico, and Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace.

Now, Entertainment Weekly gives us our the first official look at how Cruz plans to fill Donatella’s black strappy sandals. Channeling the fashion doyenne in a fever-dream-pink party frock, Cruz is wedged between two Speedo-clad pieces of cheesecake… while cozily sitting at a pool at the Miami Beach mansion, where Gianni lived and was murdered by Cunanan in 1997.

How does this story stack up against the ones released earlier this month of Darren Criss in a Speedo? Compare and contrast.
