Monica Bellucci looked the picture of glamour in a black lace evening gown as she joined her partner, film director Tim Burton at the Taormina Film Festival.
The Italian actress, 60, made sure she turned heads as she stood out in a black floor length gown which hugged her curvaceous figure.
The stylish ensemble boasted lace detailing down the arms and sides plus some neat pleating on the hem of the skirt for added dramatic effect.
She added inches to her frame with a pair of heels and toted her essentials in a mini black purse with a clasp.
Meanwhile, her partner Tim, 66, cut a dapper figure in a smart blazer, which he wore over the top of a patterned shirt and tie.

Tim, 66, who is gearing up for the second series of Wednesday which drops on Netflix in a few months time cut a dapper figure in a smart blazer, which he wore over the top of a patterned shirt and tie
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.
The stylish ensemble boasted lace detailing down the arms and sides plus some neat pleating on the hem of the skirt for added dramatic effect
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.

The six new holiday rules for summer

Holiday rules are already a confusing plethora of official regulations and local customs. And earlier this month, officials in the Italian town of Portofino threw a handful of googlies into the mix when it announced that tourists can no longer walk through the town's cobbled streets barefoot, in swimsuits or indeed topless. Alcohol can only be consumed in bars and restaurants, and God forbid you take a snooze on a wall. The new rules are targeted with precision at uncouth holiday makers and follow similar pan-European crackdowns, which include Vigo in Spain banning peeing in the sea, stealing pebbles in Sardinia and mooning in Grecian town squares. To navigate these regulations and others, here's my essential six new holiday rules. Don't leave home without it. Disguise the pee-at-sea I can't see how the Spanish authorities will effectively police their law against 'physiological evacuation at sea' as I doubt a band of uniformed snorklers will be taking to the waves to catch those worthy of a £650 fine. But they could spot you from the beach. So if you've decided that the beach loo is so foul that it's worth risking a fine, at least pee while you swim. Do not be a cruise bore Heavy fines await anyone who strikes up conversations with strangers on holiday on the subject of cruises, particularly while travelling on cruise ships. Your knowledge of deck numbers, cabaret, restaurant facilities, excursions, staff-to-passenger ratios, hull strength or balcony-laden floating condominiums are not topics for public consumption. Do not take iPads to restaurants If you're foolish enough to own such a device, do not let it leave the bedroom in the evening. On no account bring it to a taverna with the idea that it will keep the kids quiet unless, of course, you wish to be perceived as a regressive gimp. It's better for humanity if your offspring engage in food fights and it's grotesquely offensive to continental culture that favours conversation. But books, card games and colouring-in is very much allowed. Learn some local lingo You must pay respect to the locals and learn the following few crucial sentences so that you can fit in and pleasantly surprise the natives. 'Six beers, please', 'Can you re-heat these chips?', 'I can't afford Château Minuty, do you have any retsina?' 'I have no money but my son will do the washing up', 'What's the Wifi code?', 'Can we get free drinks if we tag you on Instagram?' Enjoy hire car roulette Post-Brexit, it is now harder to gain access to European resolution systems so just enjoy the game for what it is. Thus simply treat the following as a cultural lesson as you discover the hire car is a shuttle-bus-ride away from the airport, there's a queue outside the office with no shade, the staff are competing to see who can display greater nonchalance and there are no water or loo facilities. Their office is closed on the day of your flight home so you'll have to bring it back the day before, oh, and it'll need to be returned with a full tank although the nearest petrol station is 50 miles away. Holiday like you're on holiday Terrible punishments will be meted out to those who confuse holiday with travel. Travel is what occurs to and from the holiday; it's the nightmare bit, no longer some romantic interlude of discovery. A holiday is about no washing up, or shopping or cooking. It is not about the news, or emails, or X or Trump, but about the pool and your sunbed in relation to it. And, endeavouring against my better judgement to adhere to much of the above, I hope to see you back here in two weeks if I return.

Eagle-eyed fans spot what Chloe Kelly was doing in hilarious Lionesses celebration photo after Euro 2025 win

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PENALTY hero Chloe Kelly was the heart and soul of England's celebrations following the Lionesses dramatic Euro 2025 final victory over Spain. Kelly, 27, kept her cool to slot home the decisive penalty as England retained their title as European champions via a shootout on a historic night in Basel.

Kelly understandably had plenty to celebrate as she sang, danced and skipped her way across the pitch in the aftermath to the full-time whistle. However some England fans joked that she was getting a little carried away when a hilarious team photo surfaced seemingly showing her taking a nibble at a teammate's arm. A celebratory selfie snapped by veteran star Lucy Bronze, and uploaded to the Lionesses X account, looked to show Kelly munching on the elbow of substitute goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse.

While another added: "Chloe Kelly looks like she's trying to eat someone's elbow". A third asked: "Is Chloe trying to eat Anna's arm?" And a fourth teased: "Chloe Kelly is getting hungry". 4 Kelly appeared to be biting down on Anna Moorhouse's elbow in a hilarious team selfie Credit: X @lionesses CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS In reality it seemed to just be an unfortunate angle, with Kelly actually celebrating with another teammate behind Moorhouse. The former Man City forward was the definition of a supersub, coming on for an injured Lauren James at the end of the first half and going on to set up Alessia Russo's equalising goal and netting the deciding spot kick. History-making Lionesses showed true English grit to win Euros and fully deserve the glory Kelly had similar influences from the bench in the Lionesses' dramatic semi-final and quarter-final victories over Italy and Sweden. Speaking after her confidently dispatched penalty, Kelly had no doubt she was going to score having had to rely on a rebounded miss for her winner against Italy earlier in the week. She told the BBC: "I was cool. I was composed. "And I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. I don't miss penalties twice". She added: "The celebrations are going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows the love to all these girls, because they deserve it." The Lionesses made history by becoming the first England side across both the men's and women's game to win a major tournament on foreign soil. While boss Sarina Wiegman added a third consecutive Euros title to her trophy cabinet, her second with the Lionesses after initially tasting success as Holland boss in 2017.
