American Crime Story is about to get fashionable.

The trailer for the second season of the true crime TV series dropped Wednesday, and focuses on the death of Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace.

Directed by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), the show stars Darren Criss as Versace's killer Andrew Cunanan, who shot the designer on the steps of his Miami villa on July 15, 1997.

The trailer shows the glamour of Versace's life and career alongside Cunanan's murderous plans.

Cunanan, who appears to be a normal 20-something at the beginning of the trailer, quickly turns frightening as a police scene reveals he has already murdered 4 men on a killing spree.

“This world is wasted on me,” Cunanan says chillingly in the trailer. “Yet this world also made you, Mr. Versace, into a star. You’re not better than me, we’re the same. The only difference is that you got lucky.”

A blonde Penélope Cruz plays Versace's sister, Donatella Versace, who took over the fashion house after her brother's death.

“He was a creator, he was a genius,” she says. “I will not allow that man, that nobody, to kill my brother twice.”

The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story premieres Jan. 17 on FX.
