Elizabeth Hurley gazed adoringly at Billy Ray Cyrus as the loved up couple made their red carpet debut at a swanky Valentino bash in Rome on Saturday evening.
The British actress, 59, and American singer, 63, posed up a storm after arriving arm-in-arm just a month after going public with their shock and unlikely romance.
Elizabeth looked nothing short of sensational in a vibrant pink gown which boasted a daringly plunging neckline and teased a glimpse of her ample cleavage.
The look hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure and featured dramatic caped sleeves which she teamed with silver accessories.
The Bedazzled star completed the look with statement earrings, glam make-up and she wore her caramel tresses in loose waves.

Meanwhile Billy Rae cut a cool figure in a dark suit which was embellished with eye-catching silver buttons on both the blazer and trouser legs.
Shielding his eyes behind shades he slipped his feet into a pair of crocodile skin boots and finished it off with a cowboy hat.
The lovebirds were supported on their first public outing by Elizabeth's lookalike son Damian, who was also dressed to impress.
The model, 23, turned heads in a vibrant and perfectly tailored red suit which he wore over an open black silk shirt and crucifix necklace.
Elizabeth and Billy caught their fans off guard when they revealed they were together, sharing a sexy snap on Easter and have been flaunting their happy relationship ever since.
And now it has been reported they are taking things up a notch even further with the Achy Breaky Heart crooner planning a huge surprise trip for her upcoming 60th birthday.
A source told the publication: 'Billy is besotted with Liz. He can't believe this chance he's been given and he's throwing everything at it, including this very expensive birthday trip to the Caribbean.
The Sun claims he is organising a trip to the Caribbean island of Nevis along with a private jet and red roses as a gift.

'He thinks she's the most beautiful woman in the world and feels incredibly lucky.
'He spoils her rotten with gifts but mostly they just enjoy hanging out, listening to records and making each other laugh.'
An insider added that marriage could even be on the cards.
Representatives for Billy and Elizabeth have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Elizabeth shocked fans in recent weeks when her romance with the country music star was made public with a cosy Instagram post.
She has since revealed the true depth of her feelings for new boyfriend Billy, sharing a very loved-up snap of them packing on the PDA to Instagram on Wednesday.
And the model revealed it's true love as she took to the comments sharing a black heart emoji before writing 'you xx'.
And Elizabeth has the full support of her son as Damian also commented on the snap as he penned: 'Awwww.'
Their unexpected romance comes just over two years after the pair fatefully met on the set of their 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise, which was shot in the Caribbean.
Last week, Billy Ray broke his silence over his new relationship while appearing on Apple Music Country's The Ty Bentli Show.
The Achy Breaky Heart crooner, who finalized his divorce from ex Firerose in August 2024, revealed Elizabeth reached out during a difficult period in his life.
'I felt like, ''Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?'' For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you,' he said.
'And in this moment... a friend reached out.'
According to Billy, Elizabeth's message read something along the lines of: ''Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I'm in your corner; you've got a friend in your corner''.'
Upon getting her text, the father-of-five admitted he 'didn't even know the number'.
He shared: 'So, I text back, I go, ''Who is this?'' And it's like, ''Elizabeth Hurley.'' Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most… this friend who made me laugh.'
Although they hadn't spoken in 'two years' after wrapping their holiday film, Billy instantly remembered 'there was a chemistry' between them on set during their 'very few scenes together'.
'We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot,' he noted.
'The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different.'
Christmas in Paradise was shot in the Caribbean, and was filmed not long after he separated from ex-wife Tish in April 2022 after 28 years of marriage.
He went on to have a short-lived relationship with Firerose but he filed for divorce in May 2024 after seven months of marriage.
The friendship seemed to turn into something more after the Strictly Confidential star reached out to her former co-star after his divorce from ex Firerose in 2024.
In early April, Hurley dropped a big clue about the romance when she uploaded a reel of herself on Instagram frolicking on the beach with Cyrus's 'She's Not Cryin' Anymore playing beneath it and tagging the singer.
