There may be no more exciting/perfect casting this year than Gina Gershon as Donatella Versace in Lifetime's biopic of the fiery fashionista, and ETonline scored an exclusive clip from the hotly anticipated House of Versace!

The film -- based on Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Ball's widely-read book, House of Versace: The Untold Story of Genius, Murder, and Survival -- spotlights Donatella's experience following her brothers' murder and how she handled being suddenly thrust into the spotlight as head designer of his fashion empire!

And as you can see, Gershon perfectly brings this iconic woman to uncanny life. So it should come as no surprise that co-star Raquel Welch (who plays Aunt Lucia) told ETonline that Gershon rarely broke character once she hit the set!

And check out this new, extended trailer!

House of Versace airs October 5 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
