Catherine Zeta-Jones, 53, models a plunging purple dress as she holds hands with husband of 23 years Michael Douglas, 78, on the Italian coast
Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly stood out as she left Italian restaurant Taverna del Marinaio Monday.
The Mask Of Zorro actress flaunted her slim figure in a deep dark purple floral print maxi dress that had very slim straps over her shoulders.
The Welsh beauty added black-and-beige platform espadrille sandals, purple-tinted sunglasses, long lavender earrings and bracelets while looking chic while vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
Her long black hair was parted in the middle and fell over her bare shoulders as she carried a black Chanel bag.
The Oscar-winning star held hands with her husband of 23 years, Michael Douglas, who also has an Academy Award to his name.
The pair appeared to be in vacation mode as they meandered through the crowds on the sidewalk of one of Italy’s most beloved holiday resorts.
Date night: Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly stood out when she went to Italian restaurant Taverna del Marinaio in Portofino, Italy on Monday
In love: The Oscar-winning star held hands with her husband of 23 years, Michael Douglas, who also has an Academy Award to his name
Portofino is a fishing village on the coast of the Italian Riviera, southeast of the city of Genoa.
The town is known for its seafood restaurants, a 16th-century fortress and museum with art exhibitions and panoramic views of the Ligurian Sea.
They were a group of friends as they walked from the restaurant to a dock where they would return to their yacht by water taxi.
Zeta-Jones wasn’t the only one dressed up for the night on the town.
Douglas – best known for his TV show The Streets Of San Francisco, his movie Wall Street and his streaming series The Komisky Method – wore a dark blue button-down shirt and pale slacks with black loafers.
The two Hollywood stars met in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival, where the actor was promoting A Perfect Murder with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Catherine was talking The mask of Zorro with Antonio Banderas.
The 78-year-old told her shortly after they met, “I want to be the father of your children.”

Michael and Catherine were married in 2000 at The Plaza in New York City.
Soon after, they welcomed son Dylan and daughter Carys.
Zeta-Jones comes from a number of career coupes as she has been on the hit series National Treasure: Edge Of History, Prodigal Son and Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Douglas has been labeled “shameful” by his son Dylan.
The Fatal Attraction star’s 22-year-old boy said the actor’s cringe-inducing moments mostly stemmed from bad “daddy jokes” and being out of touch.
Dylan told Page Six during the Broadway opening of Good Night, Oscar about how Michael “can be embarrassing at times”: “More in terms of what he says, than who he is.
A good sighting: locals and other tourists looked the pair up and down as they walked through town

“Just dad things. (He’s a) bit out of touch – bad jokes for sure!’
Michael was with Dylan at the Broadway opening to support the star of the show, Sean Hayes, 52, who he knows from his time with a cameo in Will & Grace, playing a detective attracted to Will, played by Eric McCormack, 60.
Michael also has son Cameron, 44, from a previous marriage.
Meanwhile, Douglas is considering providing in his will that all rights to his likeness be left to his family because he fears an avatar of his will end up in movies and still wants to retain some control, he said in March.
When discussing whether to sell his digital image so he can continue starring in movies after his death, he said, “It’s funny you say that.” You are coming to an age where you are starting to think about your will and estate.
Now I think I should also license my name and likeness so the rights go to my family instead of the metaverse. I see what AI does with pictures with text.

The long walk back to the wharf: Douglas and Jones had a tall man in front of them and two men behind them

So much love: The two rarely let go of each other’s hands as they seemed more in love than ever

“It’s only a matter of time before you’ll be able to recreate a dead person of any age with the voice and the mannerisms, so I want to have some control.”
Michael also admitted that one of the reasons he signed on to play Hank Pym in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was to appeal to a younger generation.
He said, “That was one of the reasons for doing ‘Ant-Man,’ except I had never done a green screen movie before. Most of my movies are R-rated – adults only.
“I get a kick out of it when these kids pull my coat and say, ‘Hank Pym! Ant-man!’ It’s as close to immortality as an actor can get.’
Catherine first disclosed the unusual forfeiture in 2016.
She said, “If he dodges a shot, he has to drop his pants.” It’s not just my man, it’s every man I play.
“There is a problem with paparazzi, so I force him to go into the bushes. A deal is a deal.’
