The country music star, 63, and the actress, 59, made their red carpet debut as a couple in the Italian capital on Saturday, May 24 — and they did it in style. The pair stepped out to a dinner celebrating the opening of the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition, staged by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti, at Palazzo Barberini.
They were both glamorously dressed for the occasion, with Hurley making a striking statement in a bright pink, curve-hugging gown featuring a plunging neckline and dramatic trailing sleeves. Perhaps giving a little nod to her Austin Powers role, she wore '60s-inspired silver platform sandals. She wore her hair down, styled in soft waves, and accessorized with a pair of statement earrings.
Cyrus, meanwhile, sported his signature rocker edge in a pair of tight-fitting black pants detailed with silver medallions along the leg and a black jacket with leather accents. He topped off his look with a western hat, sunglasses and boots.
The couple was joined by Hurley's 23-year-old son Damian, who wore a red suit and sunglasses.
Hurley shared a photo from the couple's night out on her Instagram on Saturday, along with the simple caption "Roma 💞💞💞💞."
The pair's red carpet debut comes just days after a source told PEOPLE that Hurley "doesn't care" that fans don't understand her romance with the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer.
'Liz doesn't care that skeptics don't get it. She's focused on the special things that they have in common, like country music,' the source said. 'She loves his Southern vibes. He's very calm and happy around her.'
'They have great energy together. She very much enjoys his company," the insider added, noting that Hurley and Cyrus plan to spend her 60th birthday together on June 10.

The two stars first sparked romance rumors in April when Cyrus posted a photo on Instagram of them kissing as they celebrated Easter together in Tennessee.
A source later told PEOPLE that Hurley "spent a beautiful couple of weeks in Tennessee with Billy Ray" before returning to the U.K. "She loved being surrounded by nature in a more laid-back environment. She had a great time with Billy Ray," the insider said.
The pair first met while filming the 2022 holiday movie Christmas in Paradise on the Caribbean island of Nevis, and recently reconnected. While appearing on Apple Country Music's The Ty Bentli Show last month, Cyrus confirmed their romance and recalled how "there was a chemistry there" when he and Hurley were filming scenes together.
"We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot," he said.
"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," Cyrus added.

The musician said Hurley reached out to him during a difficult time when he found himself questioning, "Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?" He was dealing with several hardships, including his divorce from Firerose.
"And in this moment... a friend reached out," Cyrus recalled, referring to Hurley, whom he described as a "great human being."
'It's a long time since I've been this happy,' he noted.

No. 21 Resort 2026 Collection
The N.21 lookbook was shot at night on the empty streets of a deserted Milan. 'I love the city's old buildings with their imposing entryways and front doors, and its eerie nocturnal atmosphere,' designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua said. But the new collection wasn't intended for late-night parties or after-hours adventures. Quite the opposite. Dell'Acqua is a quiet contrarian, and resort is centered on the quotidian-with-a-twist look he does so well. At a showroom appointment, the racks overflowed with neoprene-bonded Fair Isle cotton sweatshirts paired with ankle-grazing light wool skirts, sequined pencil skirts styled with sporty striped polos, and pale brocatelle skirt suits whose bourgeois vibe was upset by worn-in denim shirts. Dell'Acqua explained that he wanted to 'go back to basics,' but sharpened with a sort of 'essential imperfection' to make them not so safe—a built-in mix of masculine and feminine, with a dash of 1940s vintage glamour to give it some louche edge. Everyday staples—like black leather perfectos and checkered dusters—were tossed over sequined evening dresses and hand-pressed silk slips dotted with sparse florals. Dell'Acqua's styling leans just eccentric enough to surprise, but always stays grounded in wearability. Clichés get a gentle shake-up, never a full rejection. 'I encourage a bit of adventurous spirit—intuition, creativity, and a dash of nonchalance,' 'he noted. 'Fashion isn't just for big moments, it doesn't have to be intimidating, either. I want to give women the tools to zhuzh up the everyday.' At a fair price, it's definitely a smart, feel-good move.

New And Sculpturally Chic Peruffo Jewels Show At Couture Las Vegas
Made in Italy and transcending conventional fine jewelry formats and trends, Peruffo is distinguished by sculpturally daring designs that look and feel ergonomically elegant and architecturally avant-garde, all while being comfortable to wear. Designed by Creative Director Marta Martino with input from founder/CEO Enrico Peruffo, the jewels are conceived and handmade with an artisanal Italian savoir-faire that makes their pure structures, forms, materials, lines and curves live on the body in sensual and visual splendor. Embodying elemental, universal forms like pyramids, triangles and cubes, Peruffo jewels are fashioned either in precious metals set with diamonds and colored gemstones, or with distinctively hued and textured hard stones such as turquoise. In addition to showing new additions to their core collections named Slide, Studs, Guitar, Chains, Rocks, Love and Candy, Peruffo will be debuting its Blocks and Lyrics ranges at COUTURE Las Vegas from June 4 to June 8 in the Cristal ballroom, Booth #205. All of the new Peruffo designs elaborate on the brand's established codes while presenting new refined and rare sculptures to wear. As Peruffo explained, 'The Lyrics bracelets create a special type of poetry in motion through the clash of brutalist architectural forms and psychedelic visions,' Peruffo wrote in an email. '18-karat black, yellow and white gold bracelets are embellished with diamonds in different formation patterns playing on repeated geometric modules with an elastic mechanism.' In the Blocks collection, 'Bold yet simple tactile shapes merge with movement and ergonomic principles to combine in stacks reminiscent of childhood building blocks.' Whether in matte finish or high shine options in 18-karat gold or gold set with pavé diamonds, each piece is designed with a system of advanced micro-titanium springs that allow for movement and opening. 'This results in a comfortable jewel with a fluid sculptural aesthetic,' he wrote. Peruffo's distinctive aesthetic unites polished, punk silhouettes with Brutalist architecture forms and lyrical kinetic movement in classic, and therefore ageless, chic. While some of the larger pieces may look bold and even monumental, all Peruffo jewels are smart designs that live on the body like a second skin. In the case of earrings from past collections, they live in and around the wearer's body like tiny bejeweled satellites, drawing the attentions of others. Peruffo silhouettes are also striking in that they appear to be designed to adorn human beings, rather than merely specific genders. In this sense, Peruffo designs are molto 21st century, and yet reminiscent of some androgynous jewels of antiquity, such as those made in Italy during the time of the ancient Etruscans, circa 700 B.C. It's worth noting that PERUFFO's Studs collection, received a record-breaking four nominations and two wins at the 2023 COUTURE Design Awards. This collection, designed by Peruffo Creative Director Marta Martino, drew inspiration from the Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky's memorable dictum, 'Point and line to plane.' Equally significant, Peruffo is deeply intertwined with Italian artisanal jewelry heritage and aesthetic excellence, as its parent company is a major luxury jewelry brand, Fratelli Bovo, s.r.l. which was founded in 1977. This writer quizzed Enrico Peruffo regarding the alchemical processes that he and his Creative Director Marta Martino undergo each time they create a collection. To begin with, he detailed, 'For Peruffo collections we use both hand drawings to start and then CAD designs, rapid prototyping and 3D printing.' Working together on initial concepts, 'Marta and I and agree on our direction for a new collection,' he continued. 'She is a visionary and many times will draw inspiration from fine artists such as painter Wassily Kandinsky's works, on a journey to discover a unique exploration of music and jewelry.' Martino, Peruffo related, 'Marta helps us to keep pushing the boundaries, creating collections that are disruptive in design. We want to continue to challenge the traditional idea of jewelry and create a new interpretation of these age old materials and techniques,' he explained. 'We analyze and explore new themes blending contrasting elements inspired by art, fashion and architecture and also by transforming subjects of our everyday life.' Very often, Peruffo elaborated, kinetic concerns, rather than static objects or drawings, animate the core of a given collection. For example, 'We have often started from the simple concept of a line or group of lines with movement, and how these can function, reflect or apply energy within a specific type of space,' he stated. 'We like to use innovative and dynamic movements with static objects, simple shapes or designs that reimagine possibilities. Sometimes these are more serious, sometimes more whimsical, and we look at many types of performative and artistic works for inspiration. We have big ideas and we are highly experimental in our approach for Peruffo,' he confessed, 'so some designs never make it to a collection.' Customarily, Marta Martino sketches foundational ideas and key influences of the shapes or design elements on which a collection will be based. From there, Peruffo related, 'We move to an extensive research and analysis phase in order to ensure that the collection can be produced in a scalable production process.' Next, Peruffo utilizes over 100 in-house technologies to advance its production including latest generation manufacturing equipment. As Peruffo explained, 'We specialize in types of production that many other factories cannot achieve for the brands they produce for.' While Peruffo uses these technologies and advances for their manufacturing as well as for his brand, human artisanal excellence is just as important to his production process. Master artisans skilled in assembly, master stone setters, polishers, finishers and quality control experts 'are all needed for our pieces,' he maintained, yet so are powerful artistic cornerstones around which new Peruffo collections can be built. While Peruffo listed such Brutalist architects as Marcel Breuer, Aldo Loris Rossi and Paolo Portoghesi as major influences, the conceptual artist Sol Lewitt and architect and city planner Paol Soleri also earned special mentions. 'Something we often see in our collections are unexpected combinations, so I guess I have always had some connection to seeing the irony and the possibility in contrasts,' Peruffo mused. Contemporary jewelers who Peruffo rates highly include Delfina Delettrez, the fourth-generation heiress of the Fendi family, who founded her own company, Delfina Delettrez, in 2007, with the help of her jeweler father, Bernard Delettrez, who is based in Rome. Then there is Repossi, a heritage house famous for its upmarket minimalist designs, plus Charlotte Chesnais, whose exploration of curved and linear forms make her jewelry an ongoing adventure in style and substance. 'The Made in Italy brand Chantecler," Peruffo wrote, 'with their artistic creative pieces that are most often inspired by the nature of the unique surroundings of Capri, create absolutely some of the most interesting wearable art.' According to Peruffo, "The Made in Italy brand Mariani 1878, based in Monza, 'creates jewels of incredible detail and interesting use of stones and settings, including stark black high polish gold with floating white diamonds. These elements make their pieces highly identifiable and often unique.' Finally, the Made in Italy brand Miseno, which incorporates the terrain, seacoast and ancient mosaics of the Mediterranean as inspiration, is also of great interest to Peruffo. Peruffo's expansive love of design, materials and high artisanship, plus his appreciation for other jewelry designers is echoed in a philosophical text on Peruffo Jewelry's website, "Many collections, one soul. Many identities making an organic whole, where all elements coordinate and exchange: a universe of diverse signs, forming a unique and recognizable language." Rooted in the narrative of jewelry history, Peruffo Jewelry embodies new forms and concepts in its designs while honoring its artisans and fellow jewelers.

Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG
Anonymous – Inter Milan Captain Fails To Get Into The Game In 5-0 Champions League Final Loss Vs PSG Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez ended up cutting an anonymous figure in yesterday's Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan. This is the view in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement Inter captain Lautaro Martinez did everything to be available against Paris Saint-Germain yesterday. The Argentine had been absent for a few weeks with a thigh problem. This was something he had suffered during Inter's Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona. However, returning against PSG for the final was always going to be the priority. In truth, however, Martinez hardly need have bothered. Lautaro Martinez Cuts An Anonymous Figure In PSG 5-0 Inter Milan UCL Final GENOA, ITALY – AUGUST 17: Lautaro Martinez of Inter looks on during a warm-up session prior to kick-off in the Serie A match between Genoa and Inter at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on August 17, 2024 in Genoa, Italy. (Photo by) Lautaro Martinez did try to help his team up the pitch. The 27-year-old battled with Paris Saint-Germain defender Willian Pacho. He would try to chest down the ball and gain some ground to get Inter into the Parisians' half. Advertisement Moreover, Martinez would drop deeper at times. He would aim to offer support in the midfield battle in which PSG were overrunning Inter. Then, the Nerazzurri captain would pick up his head to try and spring a quick add with a forward or diagonal pass. However, in truth, none of this was really to any sort of avail. Time and time again, the PSG defense dealt with Martinez comfortably. And the Argentine lacked the quality or presence in the penalty area to create any real danger.
