Ana de Armas has proved that diamonds really are a girl's best friend, as she posed for a dazzling new campaign for Louis Vuitton's Virtuosity jewellery collection.
The actress, 37, looked radiant in the striking photoshoot, slipping into several plunging black leather looks to allow the jewellery to shine.
The Oscar nominee ensured all eyes were on her as she modelled a slew of show-stopping statement necklaces, each encrusted with glittering diamonds.
Ana sported a flawless palette of makeup for the shoot, complete with a sultry smoky eyeshadow, and wore her long brown hair swept back to show off the jewels.
The 110-pieces collection is described as a 'tribute to the virtuosos of Louis Vuitton and the fervent pursuit of the unexplored'.
The Knives Out star commanded attention in the Apogée necklace, made from white gold, and studded with diamonds and a 30.75-carat Brazilian drop emerald.
She also donned the Eternal Sun necklace, boasting 27 yellow diamonds, an LV Monogram Star cut diamond and a magnificent 14-carat round yellow diamond.
Ana has been an ambassador for the French luxury fashion house since June 2023, and previously starred the Le Damier de Louis Vuitton campaign in September.
Her partnership with the brand for the latest collection comes as her star continues to rise, with her latest film, Ballerina, being released on Friday.
The action flick stars Ana as the ballerina Eve Macarro, who begins training as an assassin with the same figures swirling around series namesake John Wick as she tries to avenge her dead father.
The thriller - which is directed by Len Wiseman - has already garnered positive reviews from critics and fans alike, currently sitting at 76 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes.
This week, Ana revealed her honest reaction to her boyfriend Tom Cruise 's gushing review of Ballerina, after the Hollywood star labelled the film 'outstanding' in an interview with AP.
During his press tour for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, the actor, 62, also praised Ana's 'experience in action' during a chat with E! News, gushing: 'She's really good'.
At the Los Angeles premiere for Ballerina on Tuesday, Ana admitted how much his sweet review of her latest performance meant to her.
She told E! News: 'It makes me really happy and proud. It's surreal that someone like him is liking the movie and supporting the film and celebrating other people's films.'
Ana went on to emphasize how 'amazing' his support has been and told Variety that it is 'unbelievable' he used his platform to publicly support the John Wick spinoff.
She said: 'You know what, he supports every movie. He really wants the industry and cinema to do well and [wants] people going to the theaters. It is very special that someone like him is supporting [Ballerina]'.
Last month, the Blonde star gave some insight into her decision to keep tight-lipped on her new romance with Tom during an interview with ELLE Spain.
During the interview, Ana hinted at the speculation surrounding her and the Top Gun star as she got candid about how she copes with the public's interest into her personal life.
As her career has gone from strength the strength, the star's love life has often wrought as much buzz as her career successes, with previous headline-hitting romances with movie star Ben Affleck and Tinder VP Paul Boukadakis.
When quizzed about the scrutiny into her private life, Ana admitted that she's grown more accustomed to dealing with it and accepted it came as part of the price of fame.
Alluding to her apparent determination not to confirm her and Tom's relationship status, she explained she's learned how important it is for her to have a separation between her 'public persona' and private life.
She said: 'Over the years, you get more used to it. You learn to find your corners, your privacy, your way of doing things, your lifestyle... I'm one of those who think there should be external boundaries, a barrier that's quite visible to others and to oneself.
'Making it clear, "This is as far as I go with my work, my public persona, what's expected of me, and what I want to share with viewers and fans." That's wonderful, and I want to do it.
'You can't let the negative side of fame upset you, because then you won't enjoy the beautiful aspects, but it's essential to separate. We're all people and we need that privacy, consideration, and space.
'It seems incredible to have to say it, but we've forgotten that minimum of respect for others. Sometimes we have to make an abrupt stop so others are aware of your reality, but, well, I find my way. When I want to disappear from the map, I do'.
However, Ana also admitted that the public criticism she's received over some of her past relationships has 'hurt me at times'.
In November, she was hit by massive backlash after being linked to the stepson of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez - who was handpicked by Raul Castro and 'chosen' in an election in which there were no opposition challengers allowed and has been accused of overseeing massive human rights abuses.
After being pictured on a romantic stroll in Madrid hand-in-hand with 26-year-old Manuel Anido Cuesta, the Cuban star was savaged by fans for appearing to be dating the stepson of a dictatorship that she fled from at the age of 18 to live in Spain.
Ana confessed that she had become very good at 'filtering' negative comments, knowing which ones to listen to and learn from and which to 'block' that were 'made to intentionally cause you pain.'
The Knives Out star claimed that criticisms have 'gotten out of hand' now and become 'damaging and toxic', but insisted: 'I do have control over that, knowing what I let touch me and what I don't.'
Ana and Tom first sparked dating rumors after being spotted out to dinner just before Valentine's Day.
The speculation reached a fever pitch when exclusive DailyMail photos showed her being flown into London by the action star in his private helicopter last month, just days before her birthday.
While neither has confirmed their relationship, the last week has seen both stars speaking about each other, while on the promotional trail at the same time.
In May, Tom raved to Extra that Ana is a 'very talented, great dramatic actress [with] comedic, tremendous ability, [who] learns quickly.'
DailyMail.com previously learned that the couple have been getting serious in recent weeks, with one of Tom's A-list exes even giving their approval.
It is understood Spanish actress Penelope Cruz - who dated Tom from 2001 to 2004 - is 'happy' that her ex-boyfriend has found new love with her pal, who she starred opposite in the 2019 movie WASP Network.
An insider told the Daily Mail: 'Ana has said that Penelope is happy for her, she approves. They know each other from the movie and also they have friends in common in Madrid from when Ana lived there for a while.'
They added: 'Tom makes Ana feel safe and that is very important to her. She was flipped out by the fans and stalkers when living in Venice Beach [Los Angeles] so she moved to a remote part of Vermont.
'She loves being away from the crazy. She has been traveling with Tom to busy cities like London, but he always makes her feel safe because he is thoughtful and he has a ton of security.
'He never puts her at risk, she is completely taken care of when she is in his company.'
Friends believe the relationship could last, with our insider pointing to the fact that Ana does 'not like to party', preferring quiet nights at home like her decades-older boyfriend.
Though another source stressed that the pair are 'taking it day by day' and that the stunner 'does not give her heart away easy.'
They said: 'Ana has a thing for older men and Tom fits the bill of her type. The proof is in the pudding. Being affectionate with someone is not something that Ana would do for a role.'

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 'dial down the bling' on Venice wedding after furore around THAT all-female space flight... but it'll still cost nearly £10m, ALISON BOSHOFF reveals

The eyes of the world will inevitably be on Venice later this month when financial colossus Jeff Bezos marries fiancee Lauren Sanchez. Everyone in the Italian city is expecting a staggering display of wealth from Amazon-founder Bezos, with money to burn, and Ms Sanchez, who looks like she enjoys lighting the match. And yet, despite the huge wealth and profile of the couple and their celebrity guests, it can be revealed that this will be a publicity-shy and surprisingly small event. Modest, even. With fewer than 200 guests – a fraction of what was expected – and a final bill which is said to be less than £10million, it is clear that the bride and groom are dialling down on the bling. As an impeccably placed source tells me: 'The wedding has had a make-under.' Indeed, the event is going to cost the equivalent of loose change for the groom, who is worth $220billion and spends $34million a year just to run his yacht – the $500 million Koru. The yacht will be moored at San Basilio – the closest the giant vessel can get to the centre of Venice due to regulations to protect the city's fragile ecosystem – and be in sight of the Hotel Cipriani, where many guests will be lodged. It's thought Jeff, Lauren and their immediate families will stay on the nine-bedroom yacht. Other guests will be split between the Cipriani and Aman hotels nearby. The only famous couple definitely going are actor Orlando Bloom and his wife Katy Perry. Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian are invited, but their attendance has not been confirmed. Instead, the guests of honour will be Bezos' mum, Jackie, who had Jeff when she was 17, and his adoptive father and life-long inspiration, Mike Bezos. The island of San Giorgio Maggiore will potentially be the destination for the couple's nuptials The couple loaned him $245,000, their life savings, to start Amazon in 1995 and Mike, who now runs the Bezos family foundation, is a particularly impressive individual, having emigrated to the US alone from Cuba aged 16. So why the – relatively – humble plans? I understand part of the reason was the PR disaster of the all-female Blue Origin 'space flight' in April – when Lauren and her five crew, including Perry, donned skin-tight space suits to blast to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere. The project attracted huge criticism for being a meaningless stunt. I am told the couple have not sent paper or email invitations, the better to sail under the radar. And they have trimmed their guest list to the bare bones. 'It is very sweet, very understated,' says a guest. 'It is not an ostentatious blow out. 'They understand that the space flight criticism was bad for a reason and are responding to it by being less 'Marie Antoinette'.' The source adds: 'People really underestimate Lauren and Jeff. Truly, they are good people. They don't want the wedding to be a lightning rod for inequities in the world. It's just a wedding.' That's as maybe, but the celebrations are still expected to take place at jaw-droppingly beautiful – and exclusive – locations. Sources in Venice believe the nuptials will happen at the Fondazione Cini – a monastery on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. Crucially, it will be free on June 25 – the most likely day of the wedding – as it is closed to the public on Wednesdays. Having twice hosted the G7 summit, it can offer complete security and privacy and is close to where the Koru will dock. Sources also expect celebrations at the palazzo apartment owned by Bezos' close friend Diane von Furstenberg. Local sources indicate that all 79 rooms of the fabled Hotel Cipriani have been block booked from June 24-26. A suite in high season costs around £20,000 a night. The Cipriani boasts the largest swimming pool in Venice and the Casanova gardens, where the infamous seducer used to meet his conquests. The couple are also believed to have booked out the Aman Canal Grande, the 24-bedroom palazzo where George Clooney tied the knot with lawyer Amal in 2014. Plans are being co-ordinated with the mayor of Venice's office to minimise disruption but some locals concerned about overtourism are planning protests. 'This city is not for sale, it is not a playground for the rich,' said activist Ruggero Tallon.

Gayle King flaunts her extremely thin frame in tight green gown on 2025 Tony Awards red carpet

Gayle King flaunted her extremely thin frame in a skin-tight green gown as she hit the red carpet at the 2025 Tony Awards. The CBS Mornings host, 70, has continuously been displaying her slimmed down figure in recent months, sparking a slew of rumors that she's been using the popular weight loss jab Ozempic. Now, the TV personality showcased it once again as she attended the Tonys at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday. Gayle donned a stunning off-the-shoulder gown that hugged her midriff area and left her shoulders on full display. She completed the chic look with a rainbow clutch, two sparkling necklaces, and a slew of eyepopping bangles on her wrist. Fans have recently been speculating that Gayle, like her best friend Oprah Winfrey, has turned to Ozempic or another weight loss medication. While the 70-year-old has not publicly addressed the unsubstantiated rumors, her longtime pal admitted to using a weight loss drug in 2023. The journalist, who became a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model at 69, last year, previously shared that she works out for an hour five to six days a week. The TV host, 70, has continuously been displaying her slimmed down figure in recent months, sparking a slew of rumors that she's been using the popular weight loss jab Ozempic Gayle also revealed on CBS Mornings when her SI Swimsuit cover debuted that she told the magazine editors she 'didn't want retouching' on her photos, except for a few 'dimples on her thighs.' In addition, she vowed that she 'didn't starve herself' or do 'anything she doesn't normally do' to prepare for the shoot. Gayle's latest appearance at the Tony Awards comes days after she made a shock revelation about her dating life. At a launch party for Hoda Kotb's new venture Joy 101, Gayle was asked if she was looking for love during a chat with Entertainment Tonight and she joked, 'Why, you got somebody for me?' 'I am alert and available,' she added. The reporter then wondered if Gayle was still open to dating someone younger - something she previously has spoken about. 'Well, I've always said that. I just don't want someone young enough I could've given birth to,' she explained. 'But I'm not mad at younger. I'm not a cougar, but yeah. I just say this... you stay open to all possibilities.' The journalist, who became a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model at 69 (seen), last year, previously shared that she works out for an hour five to six days a week The Tony Awards, which is being hosted by Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, is set to honor the biggest stars and shows on Broadway. It will feature a slew of dazzling performances from some of the hottest shows of the year - as well as an emotional reunion from the original Hamilton cast in honor of the 10th anniversary. While some stars wowed in glamorous dresses and stunning looks - like Gayle - others completely missed the mark with their ensembles.
