Despite inaccuracies, the film accurately depicts the Gucci family's fashion legacy from 1978 to 1995. Ridley Scott defends his film against the Gucci family's criticisms and stands by the casting choices. The movie's release led to a surge in Gucci product searches and increased sales, known as the "House of Gucci effect."

2021's House of Gucci renewed interest in the titular Gucci familys story of business, struggle, and betrayal. House of Gucci is helmed by a star-studded cast under the guidance of the Academy Award-nominated director Ridley Scott.

House of Gucci's all-star cast includes Academy Award winners Lady Gaga, Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, and Al Pacino, as well as Oscar nominees Adam Driver and Salma Hayek.
