He teamed it with some tailored trousers and a pair of smart black shoes as he and Monica posed up a storm on the red carpet.
Monica was in attendance to close the Taormina Film Festival which launched in 1955 to a sold out ceremony on Saturday night.
The Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actress was set to introduce a screening of Giuseppe Tornatore's 'Malena' in the Ancient Greek Theatre, which seats 4,500 people.
The actress who suffers from stage fright, became famous for her roles in a variety of films including Malèna, Under Suspicion, The Passion of the Christ, and Spectre.
Despite having a career as an actress that spans over 30 years, last year she starred in Maria Callas: Letters and Memoirs in what marked her stage debut.
Maria Callas: Letters And Memoirs is a documentary following Monica and cast's experiences performing the play of the same name from 2019 to 2023.
Monica and her team took the Paris play on a European and American tour, visiting London, Spoleto in Italy, Athens, Monaco, Los Angeles, New York, and many more.
The play tells the story of Maria Callas, an American-born Greek soprano who was one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century.

Tim meanwhile is gearing up for the second series of Wednesday which is set to air on Netflix in the summer.
The supernatural mystery comedy, which follows Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega), first hit screens on the popular streaming platform back in November 2022.
In January 2023, a second instalment was promised but fans have had to wait two more years to be told when they can expect the new season to air.
The first will launch on August 6, while part two will hit screens on September 3, exclusively on Netflix.
Joining Jenna Ortega is Joanna Lumley and Steve Buscemi for the new season, as well as returning cast member Catherine Zeta-Jones and others.
In 2023, Jenna opened up about playing the iconic character on the Armchair Expert podcast.
Jenna said: 'I grew very, very protective of her, but you can't lead a story and have no emotional arc because then it's boring and nobody likes you. And Wednesday is a teenager
'When you're little and you say morbid, offensive stuff, it's funny and endearing and, 'Aww, you don't know any better'.
'But then you become a teenager.
'It's 'Now you're being nasty and you know it'. There's less excuse.'
Monica and Tim have been dating since October 2023, and he directed her in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - their first project together.
Monica has been married twice before and has two children; Deva, 20, and Léonie Cassel, 14, who she shares with French actor Vincent Cassel, 58.
The former model met Vincent in 1996 on the set of Gilles Mimouni's film The Apartment.
They were together for three years before marrying in 1999 in a quiet ceremony in Monaco, on the French Riviera.
They mutually agreed to separate in 2013.
Tim also has two children but has been married once, although he enjoyed a long-term relationship with Helena Bonham Carter.

Nepo baby of Hollywood power couple goes topless as she sizzles in racy bikini snaps
Amelia Gray Hamlin laid her naked ambition bare in a steamy new bikini shoot — stripping down topless and turning heads with a series of jaw-dropping snaps. The 24-year-old model, daughter of soap legend Lisa Rinna and Hollywood heartthrob Harry Hamlin, flaunted her figure on Instagram Thursday with a sultry photo carousel from a sun-soaked getaway. In one eye-popping shot, the brunette beauty stretched out on a rocky coastline in nothing but a tiny bikini bottom, her long locks draped across her bare chest as the ocean sparkled behind her. Two other shots kept with the topless theme, with Amelia posing like a seasoned pro — strategically covering her chest. Another striking shot featured Amelia in a barely-there white bikini, confidently posing in a way that made it clear she's stepped out of her model sister Delilah Hamlin 's shadow and into her own spotlight. 'I love being a mermaid so much,' she cheekily captioned the sizzling pics. It comes after Amelia left little to the imagination as she stormed the DSquared2 runway during Milan Fashion Week. The model went braless as she took to the catwalk in a sheer Cher-inspired champagne-nude jumpsuit. This is the second time Amelia has walked for the brand DSqaured2. The model was also one of the stars for the brand's fall 2023 show. Amelia, who began her modelling career in 2017, has walked for high-end brands including Saint Laurent, Chanel, Balenciaga, Moncler, Givenchy, Versace, and Vivienne Westwood. In November, she also starred in Michael Kors' holiday campaign with her sister Delilah. Amelia has stayed close with her famous parents throughout her own climb to stardom — even raiding their closets along the way. She's confessed to borrowing designer pieces from both mom Lisa and dad Harry, swiping everything from statement looks to vintage staples. 'I steal (but put back) a bunch of my dad's Calvin Klein white T-shirts and his Nike socks sometimes,' she told People in May. 'He also has really comfy flannel pieces.' 'From my mum, I mostly take the tighter, chicer things. I've definitely stolen my fair share of Versace.' Amelia takes anything she 'can get [her] hands on' when it comes to the former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star's clothes. She said: 'I take whatever high-fashion things I can get my hands on from that woman's closet, that's for sure.' Rinna rose to fame in the early '90s with breakout roles on Days of Our Lives and Melrose Place, becoming a soap staple. She later became a standout on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, joining the cast in 2014 and staying until 2022, further solidifying their place in pop culture. Hamlin, meanwhile, earned heartthrob status in the 1981 cult classic Clash of the Titans and cemented his career with L.A. Law in the late '80s. The Hollywood duo began dating in 1993 and tied the knot in 1997, quickly becoming one of Tinseltown's most enduring couples.

Football fans declare Swedish striker the new 'world's sexiest footballer', taking over from Alisha Lehmann, as she signs for Serie A club
Supporters have flocked to declare the world's newest 'sexiest footballer' after a Serie A club announced her as their newest arrival on social media. Swedish striker Alice Sondergaard completed her move to Genoa earlier this month and posed for a series of striking photos posted on the club's Instagram page. Sondergaard has already made waves at the top level, having received her first call-up for her country at the tender age of 15. She will now look to keep Genoa in the Italian top-flight after they were promoted to the division for the very first time. Blessed with an eye for goal, Sondergaard was crucial to Bologna's superb campaign last time out, a club which fought Genoa for a spot in the top-flight until the bitter end. She previously played for Verona, also in Italy, and scored plenty of goals in Serie B. But her latest high-profile move has seen her thrust into the spotlight again and supporters were quick to focus on her beauty, even placing her on a pedestal above glamorous Juventus and Switzerland superstar Alisha Lehmann. Supporters flocked to declare Alice Sondergaard as the world's newest 'sexiest footballer' Sondergaard completed her move to Genoa in Serie A and posed for a series of photos Social media users left a series of cheeky comments under the post announcing her arrival Sondergaard may have taken the accolade from Juventus and Switzerland's Alisha Lehmann 'It's official, the most beautiful footballer alive,' said one Instagram user. Another cheekily added: 'Always been a fan of Genoa.' A third then said: 'They got me on the women's team this year.' Meanwhile, a fourth posted: 'Subscription right away.' Until seemingly being dethroned by Swedish sensation Sondergaard, Lehmann had been dubbed the world's sexiest footballer. Lehmann, who used to date Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, is Switzerland's most famous player, boasting 16.7million followers on Instagram and 12m on TikTok. The duo first began dating back in 2021, before they broke up a year later and rekindled at the start of 2024. However, they reportedly then split again. She was given her own bodyguard at the Women's Euros this summer due to her significant popularity. Lehmann is often the target for autographs or selfies.
