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.

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.

Reflecting on making his half century, Leonardo DiCaprio tells Esquire magazine he doesn't feel 50 but 32.

Lily Collins looks effortlessly stylish in a red paisley print co-ord as she films Emily In Paris series five in Italy
Lily Collins put on a stylish display as she continued to film the fifth series of Emily In Paris in the Italian City of Venice. The actress, 36, transformed into her effortlessly chic character to shoot scenes alongside her co-star Ashley Park on the terrace of luxury hotel St Regis. Lily looked glamorous as she slipped into a red and white paisley print co-ord that she wore over a white sequin bandeau top. Ashley looked equally as stunning as her co-star while filming scenes for the hotly-anticipated series return. Both actresses chatted to each other during the scene, sat by a table that was adorned with flowers and coffee cups. Lily, who stars as main character Emily, has been filming in Venice for the episodes as the series will follow her journey to Rome. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. The pair hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on. Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020. The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily? 'A plucky American marketing whiz spreads her wings in life and love after landing her dream job in Paris.' The show, created by Star, has had 40 episodes run over four seasons. It stars the likes of Lily, Philippine, Ashley Park, Lucas, Samuel Arnold, Bruno Gouery, William Abadie and Lucien.
