Venice Film Festival: Monica Bellucci looks effortlessly chic in a sheer blue blouse

She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to fashion.

And Monica Bellucci looked effortlessly chic as she arrived at the Siccita photocall during Venice Film Festival on Thursday.

The Italian actress and model, 57, showed off her sense of style in a sheer blue blouse and smart black trousers. 

She boosted her height with huge black stilettos and wore a simple gold pendant and matching rings.

The beauty wore her brunette tresses in loose waves over her shoulders and opted for a glamorous makeup look.

Before posing at the photocall she was pictured arriving via water taxi and looked every inch the superstar in dark shades that framed her face. 

Siccità is an upcoming Italian apocalyptic drama film directed by Paolo Virzì, from a screenplay by Paolo Giordano. 

The film stars Monica, Sara Serraiocco and Silvio Orlando.

The film will have its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on Thursday night.  

Principal photography began on 17 February 2021, in Rome, Italy. The film entered post-production in May 2021.

Monica recently opened up about aging gracefully, saying she wants to ‘get old in a peaceful way’ and isn’t ‘obsessed’ with maintaining her figure in her 50s.

‘I am not obsessed. I’ve always been a curvy woman, never so skinny, that’s my nature. And I want to get old in a peaceful way,’ she told Sunday Times. 

‘When you are 50 or 60 you don’t have the same needs as when you are 20.

‘You change, like when your baby comes into the room, you see that the first thing is her. We come in second. This gives us another perspective,’ she added.

While she makes sure to get enough exercise and watches what she eats ‘a bit’ when she is working, she doesn’t go to extremes. 

Monica has appeared in some of the most notable films of the past few decades, including The Apartment, The Passion of Christ, Francis Ford Coppola’s’ Dracula and the James Bond movie Spectre.  

She will next be seen in the movie The Befana Comes At Night 2: The Origins, where she plays the Good Witch Dolores.  

Produced by Lucky Red and Rai Cinema in collaboration with Sky, the new film serves as a prequel to the Italian language La Befana vien di notte (The Legend of the Christmas Witch), which Monica did not star in.

The movie will also star Zoe Massenti, Alessandro Haber, Herbert Ballerina, Corrado Guzzanti and Fabio De Luigi.
