Monica Bellucci turned heads as she joined her partner Tim Burton at the 21st Marrakech International Film Festival in Marrakech, Morocco on Friday. 

The Italian actress, 60, looked incredible as she cut a glamorous figure in a chic black cape dress which hugged her curvaceous figure. 

The stylish ensemble boasted a ruched detailing at the bust and a velvet cape which featured a cream textured lining and slits at the sides. 

Monica added inches to her frame with a pair of black open-toe platform heels and toted her essentials in a mini black handbag with a diamond embellishment. 

Meanwhile, her partner Tim, 66, cut a dapper figure in a three-piece suit consisting of a black single-breasted blazer, a black-and-white polka dot shirt, and tailored trousers.

He teamed a pair of smart black shoes with his ensemble as he and Monica posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Since its historic launch in September 2001, the Marrakech International Film Festival has brought together some of the biggest names in world cinema, confirming Morocco as a prime destination for major foreign productions. 

And the festival opened on Friday with The Order — a thriller starring Jude Law that chronicles an FBI manhunt for the leader of a white supremacist group. 

Monica's appearance at the event comes after she put on a busty display in a black dress as she attended the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain with her partner Tim. 

Monica stunned in the long-sleeved dress which was slightly off-shoulder before dipping in the centre to expose her cleavage.

The solid colour dress, which cinched her at the waist, almost reached the floor and Monica complemented the ensemble with pitch-black sunglasses.

Adding more glamour to her look, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actress Monica accessorised with a diamond necklace and a black clutch.

Tim looked sharp in an all-black suit and tinted glasses as he sweetly held the Italian siren's hand.

The red carpet Monica and Tim graced was for the premiere of Monica's film Maria Callas: Letters And Memoirs.

Maria Callas: Letters And Memoirs is a documentary following Monica and casts experiences performing the play of the same name from 2019 to 2023.

Monica and her team took the Paris play on a European and American tour, visiting London, Spoleto in Italy, Athens, Monaco, Los Angeles, New York, and many more. 

The play tells the story of Maria Callas, an American-born Greek soprano who was one of the most renowned and influential opera singers of the 20th century.

Despite having an over 30-year career as an actress, Maria Callas: Letters and Memoirs marked Monica's stage debut.

Monica, who suffers from stage fright, told Opera Wire of her role: 'I knew the great singer, the performer. Even when I did Mozart in the Jungle, I approached Callas to get to know the attitude, like I did with [Anna] Netrebko and [Montserrat] Caballé.'

'But I didn’t know anything about Maria, the story about Onassis, or that she was an incredible diva Divina. But then, when Tom Volf came to me with this project, he gave me these letters, these memoirs, and I realised the woman, the person. It was a completely different story because I could get into her vulnerabilities and her sensibility.'

'That’s why, even though it was my first time on stage when I read those letters and memoirs, I couldn’t resist. I said: "I’m scared, but I want to do it because those letters and memoirs really inspired me, and I want to share them with someone else."'

Maria Callas was born in 1923 and died in 1977 and enjoyed a romance with Jackie Kennedy's second husband Aristotle Onassis.

Monica and Tim have been dating since October 2023, and he directed her in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice - their first project together.

Monica has been married twice before and has two children; Tim also has two children but has been married once, though he enjoyed a long-term relationship with Helena Bonham Carter.
