Kenya, April 13 -- Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci continues mesmerising audiences at 60, with recent appearances and projects solidifying her status as a timeless icon.
Fresh off a string of high-profile events, Bellucci remains a focal point in cinema and fashion.
Last month, Bellucci graced the cover of Vogue Italia, photographed by her partner, director Tim Burton, to celebrate her milestone birthday.
The shoot, set in the surreal Sacred Bosco di Bomarzo, sparked mixed reactions, with some fans praising her elegance in a custom Ferragamo gown, while others felt the styling fell short of her usual allure.
Her role in Burton's Beetlejuice, released in September 2024, has kept her in the spotlight. Playing Delores, the ex-wife of Michael Keaton's Betelgeuse, Bellucci brought gothic charm to the long-awaited sequel, earning praise for her chemistry with the cast.
The couple's red carpet appearances, including at the Venice Film Festival, showcased their flair for dramatic style, with Bellucci stunning in a Vivienne Westwood corset gown.
Bellucci's daughter, Deva Cassel, is also making waves, starring in Netflix's The Leopard. The 20-year-old's breakout role has drawn comparisons to her mother's early career, with Bellucci publicly cheering her on via social media.
On the personal front, Bellucci and Burton, who began dating in 2022, continue to blend their creative worlds.
Reports highlight Bellucci's enduring appeal, with fans sharing clips from her past roles in Irreversible and Dobermann, though some online chatter has stirred controversy over edited images exaggerating her features.
As Bellucci balances motherhood, romance, and a thriving career, her next moves are eagerly anticipated. Whether on screen or the red carpet, she remains a master of reinvention.
