The first official photo of Academy Award winner Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace in The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story has been released by EW. The FX miniseries also stars Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan, Edgar Ramirez as Gianni Versace, and Ricky Martin as Gianni’s longtime partner Antonio D’Amico. The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story is the third installment of the universally acclaimed, award-winning limited series from Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson.

Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson serve as Executive Producers on The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, which is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

The image shows Cruz as the sister of murdered fashion designer Gianni Versace in a hot pink gown with two faceless men on either side of her. The shot is from the pool at Villa Casa Casuarina where Gianni lived and where his murder took place. The show was partially filmed at the villa. Gianni Versace was killed in 1997.
