Monica Bellucci dazzles in black fishtail dress and jewelry while visiting an exhibition
Monica Bellucci dazzled in a black fishtail dress and £6,000 of Cartier jewellery as she attended the Diabolik Chi Sei? premiere at Rome Film Festival on Thursday.
The Italian actress, 59, showed off her classic sense of style as she modelled Clash de Cartier earrings worth £4,200 and a matching ring worth £2,300.
Monica elevated her look further in a pair of towering suede Louboutin platform heels worth £1,600.
The screen star completed her look with a shiny black Dolce & Gabbana x Kim shoulder bag worth £1,500 as she worked her magic in front of the cameras at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica.

Monica plays Altea di Vallemberg — a woman desperately looking for her man and thief Diabolik who was kidnapped by a gang.
Little is known about the plot but fans are teased with the following plot summary: ‘Captured by a ruthless criminal gang, Diabolik and Ginko get locked in the same cell, with no way out.
Diabolik reveals his mysterious past to the inspector. Meanwhile, both Eva Kant and Altea are desperately looking for their men.’
Monica’s appearance comes after she admitted she was happy to be sexually objectified during the early years of her career because it helped turn her into a global phenomenon.
The Italian star rose to prominence as a model with Dolce & Gabbana before transitioning to TV and film,
with notable roles in Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Mel Gibson’s controversial religious epic The Passion Of The Christ.
She credits the objectification she experienced as a young model and actress for giving her a solid professional foothold.
The actress told Harper’s Bazaar Spain : ‘Being objectified didn’t bother me. When I felt that critical attitude towards me, I went along with it. Sometimes beauty creates masks.’
Monica finally confirmed her romance with Tim Burton, 64, in June after months of dating in secret.
News of their romance emerged in February, when Paris Match said the couple ‘briefly met on the steps of the Palais des Festivals in Cannes in 2006,
but it was only sixteen years later, behind the scenes of another festival, that they got closer’.
