Catherine Zeta-Jones dazzled during a rare red carpet appearance alongside her husband, Michael Douglas, at the opening ceremony of the Red Seas International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia on Dec. 5th.
The Blue Juice actress captivated the crowd in a gown that seemed straight out of a fairy tale—an ocean-blue masterpiece complete with a dramatic, flowing cape.
The floor-length dress boasted a mesmerizing pleated design, a strapless neckline, a high-slit, and an ethereal cape that billowed gracefully behind her, evoking the elegance of a modern-day queen.

The Zorro icon kept everything else simple as she rocked nude platform heels and kept her dark hair down in beachy waves.
Her husband kept things classic in a timeless black tuxedo.
Fans were excited to see the duo make a very rare red carpet appearance. They took to Instagram's comments section to rave over their long-lasting marriage, with one user writing, "Most unproblematic couple in Hollywood ever."
However, many fans were “shocked” by Catherine’s appearance, describing her face as “unrecognizable” and speculating that filler or even cosmetic surgery might be responsible for her altered look.

While many celebrities today are celebrated for their seemingly undetectable enhancements and almost magical ability to age in reverse, fans on Instagram felt this wasn’t the case for Zeta-Jones.
"She was once very beautiful, but now with all the ps [plastic surgery], her expressions changed as well," noted one fan.
"She used to be so naturally beautiful—too much work on her face," commented someone else.
Another user wrote, "She aged weirdly; 10 years ago, she was so beautiful."
Another person said, "What HAS she done to her face!! She used to be naturally beautiful; why couldn’t she age naturally? Such a pity."
"These older actresses need to stop with the fillers. Age gracefully; you look better," stated another fan.
Some people still defended her against trolls, with one person writing, "A comment section full of people pressed about what complete and total strangers do with their own bodies is always hilarious to watch."
