Catherine Zeta-Jones: Actress shines at gala dinner

Catherine Zeta-Jones (55) attended the “Women in Cinema” gala dinner on December 6th as part of The Red Sea International Film Festival. The actress appeared in a black, long-sleeved mesh dress with a floral embroidery pattern and a long train. Zeta-Jones completed the glamorous look with silver-colored jewelry. She styled her dark hair in loose waves for the appearance. She was accompanied by her husband Michael Douglas (80): to match his wife, he posed in a black suit with a shirt of the same color.

For the couple, who have been married since 2000, it is the second glamorous appearance in Saudi Arabia within a short period of time. Previously, on December 5, Zeta-Jones and Douglas attended the opening ceremony of The Red Sea International Film Festival. At the event, the 55-year-old wore a floor-length, blue gown with a subtle leg slit and a matching cape. Douglas chose a black suit, which he paired with a white shirt.

The Red Sea International Film Festival was launched in 2019 with the aim of establishing Saudi Arabia’s film industry. Due to the corona pandemic, the first multi-day event in March 2020 had to be canceled. More than a year later, in November 2021, the festival finally took place. This year, in addition to Zeta-Jones and Douglas, actors Will Smith (56), Eva Longoria (49) and Cynthia Erivo (37), among others, also moved to Saudi Arabia. The star-studded festival takes place in Jeddah until December 14th.
