00:02Having started her career in front of the camera as a model at the age of 13, Italian beauty Monica
00:07Bellucci really rose to fame in the early 90's when she started working as an actress.
00:12Over the years she hasn't lost her love for fashion though and can often be seen parading around in the
00:18most beautiful designs at the most prestigious events.
00:21Easy peasy you might think, but even gorgeous stars like Monica still feel the pressure on the red carpet.
00:27It's always a big emotion for me because I'm shy, I'm really shy and every time I have to do
00:36a tapis rouge, red carpet, I feel, you know, I'm very emotional.
00:43So I'm very happy that it's just once a year or maybe twice at max.
00:48A well known face at the Cannes Film Festival, Monica attended the French event with her sci-fi flick The
00:54Matrix Reloaded in 2003.
00:56Going for a punk chic vibe, she chose to wear a satin corset dress with a pair of chiffon opera
01:02gloves.
01:02She was back three years later with no less than two looks, first rocking a crisp white blouse with a
01:08floral skirt and lizard necklace and then walking the tapis rouge in a peacock inspired gown.
01:13In 2009, Bellucci arrived at the French carpet with her Don't Look Back co-star Sophie Marceau, almost looking like
01:20twins in beautiful bright red gowns.
01:22And last night was a special moment because it was really late, midnight, like two Cinderella's.
01:29We were in the red carpet, all the photographers, all the people screaming and it was beautiful to be with
01:38Sophie because it's like it's one protect the other.
01:44And I think it was a magic moment, last night I read the carpet.
01:48In 2015, Monica hit headlines when she was named the oldest ever Bond girl at the age of 50, starring
01:54in the 007 flick Spectre.
01:56A big movie like that calls for an equally huge promo tour, hence the actress wowed us with a string
02:02of amazing looks while on the road.
02:04For the film's title announcement in London, the actress posed alongside her Bond co-stars and kept things classy in
02:10a semi-sheer black dress with red polka dots.
02:13The movie's unveiling in Madrid called for a sheer black mini dress from Lanvin, with colorful embellishments on the sleeves.
02:20While at the photo call in Rome, she was dressed in a burgundy figure-hugging blouse on a scallop patterned
02:25maxi skirt by Azadeen Alaya.
02:27Later that day, she went with another Alaya look, walking the red carpet in black from head to toe.
02:32And the late Tunisian designer was also responsible for the sparkling long-sleeved gown the actress wore to the premiere
02:39in Mexico City a few days later.
02:42Hopping over to Paris, Monica glittered in a sultry Alexandre Vautier design, embellished with Swarovski crystals.
02:48Llamming up the look even more, she accessorized with a pair of long-line Malerio earrings.
02:54And finally, for the royal premiere in London, the Italian beauty pulled out all the stops.
02:59Please give a huge London welcome to Monica Bellucci!
03:04For the big night, the actress selected a rich velvet gown from Ralph & Russo Couture.
03:09The long-sleeved dark green design perfectly showed off her famous hourglass figure.
03:14And with the modest v-neck, side split, and cut out on the back, she bared just the right amount
03:19of skin to keep this sexy look classy enough to meet the royal family.
03:24In September of 2016, the actress made her home country proud when she attended the Venice Film Festival, stepping out
03:30in an all-lace scoop-neck dress.
03:32She paired the deep purple design with a diamond and pearl necklace and added a bit of contrast with the
03:38studded belt around her waist and a matching handbag.
03:40For the occasion, Monica ditched her signature hairstyle and pulled back her shiny tresses into a center-parted ponytail.
03:47But at the Golden Globes the following year, she had her locks back down again and opted for a timeless
03:53black embroidered Ralph Lauren gown with three-quarter sleeves and ruffled detailing.
03:57And back in Cannes a couple of months later, she proved she can still be the queen of the red
04:02carpet and had the photographers eating out of the palm of her hand when posing in this gold sequined Chanel
04:08Métier d'Art design.
04:10No matter the dress and no matter the occasion, fans and fashion critics continue to go mad for the ever
04:16-stylish Monica Bellucci.
