Versace 4431 vs Versace VE4361 Medusa Biggie: Which Bold Square Frame Is Right for You?
Both the Versace 4431 and the Versace VE4361 Medusa Biggie are oversized square acetate frames that make serious statements, but they take different approaches to Versace's signature luxury branding.
The VE4431 features bold cutout gold-tone VERSACE lettering on the temples—a graphic, architectural detail inspired by the brand's 1990s design language. The logo treatment is linear and modern, creating a sleek side profile. It's available in five colorways (black, white, havana, and polarized options) and sized at 50-22-145mm. The design feels fashion-forward and references Versace's graphic design heritage without relying on the Medusa symbol.
The VE4361 Medusa Biggie is the more famous model, featuring the iconic gold-tone Medusa medallion on wide temples. This design pays direct homage to the sunglasses worn by Notorious B.I.G. in the 1990s and has been spotted on celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Sabrina Carpenter. The Medusa medallion is three-dimensional and more ornate than the VE4431's cutout lettering. It's available in traditional and neon colorways and carries a higher price ($200-$273).
Which should you choose? If you want the most recognizable Versace frame with hip-hop heritage and don't mind the higher price, go with the Medusa Biggie VE4361. If you prefer a more architectural, graphic approach to logo design at a slightly lower price point, the VE4431 delivers bold Versace style with a cleaner temple line. Both fit larger faces and both are prescription-ready—it comes down to whether you want the Medusa medallion or the cutout VERSACE lettering defining your look.
