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. is now available in the Apple App Store!

The New Fondazione Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti Is Every Bit as Chic and Glamorous as You'd Expect
The magnum opus of a lifelong creative partnership, the Fondazione Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti opens its doors to the public for the first time in Rome's Piazza Mignanelli on May 22. Conceived as a way to preserve and share the legacy they have built, the foundation reflects their unerring dedication to a cultivated interpretation of beauty, their passion for art, and engagement in philanthropy. Located right next to the halls of the Valentino atelier, it's housed in a former Vatican school and printing house for Propaganda Fide, the Holy See's dicastery for the propagation of the faith. With the election of a new Pope, the Vatican is definitely having a moment, but this is less divine intervention than divine design. Polished to celestial gleam and christened PM23 (after its chic address: 23 Piazza Mignanelli), the newly reborn space is poised to become Rome's latest cultural altar. It will debut with a high-gloss exhibition titled 'Horizons—Red,' curated by style-savvy scholar Pamela Golbin, who edited the archival fashion pieces, with art historian Anna Coliva overseeing the selection of artworks. While the cardinal-red nod to apostolic grandeur feels timely, red is, of course, Valentino's holy grail—a signature so iconic it deserves its own Pantone. 'It's a dialogue between a color that stands as an oeuvre in its own right within Mr. Valentino's body of work, and a selection of artworks in which red becomes the lens through which each artist reveals their poetic vision,' remarked Golbin. Unlike the Pinault or Arnault foundations, which primarily showcase private collections, the Fondazione Valentino Garavani and Giancarlo Giammetti charts a different course: it will host not only exhibitions, but also workshops, talks, and cultural activations, open to diverse voices, disciplines, and communities. In a rarefied correspondence between haute couture and fine art, Valentino's legendary red dresses are displayed amid a curated constellation of modern and contemporary masterpieces on loan from institutions, private collectors, and from Giammetti and Valentino's own acquisitions, featuring works by Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter, Helen Frankenthaler, Picasso, Rothko, and Basquiat, among others. 'There are many exhibitions about art and fashion today, but they're not always about dialogue,' observed Golbin. 'Here, we've taken a theme central to Mr. Valentino's legacy, inviting both disciplines to respond.'
