She rarely fails to cut a glamorous figure.

So it's perhaps not surprising that Elizabeth Hurley opted for maximum wow-factor when she stepped out in Rome on Sunday evening.

The 50 year-old was spotted at the opening of Sofia Coppola's take on La Traviata in Rome, which took place in the Teatro Dell'Opera Di Roma.

Glamour: Elizabeth Hurley opted for maximum wow-factor when she stepped out in Rome on Sunday evening

Keeping it simple for the occasion, the Austin Powers star sported a white Valentino gown which deftly showcased her impressive body.

Sleeveless in design and effortlessly chic, it featured cut-out panels along the side and the reverse for maximum sex-appeal.

She matched the look with a rigid clutch bag and wore her hair in loose, free-flowing waves.

She added some heavily-defined eye make-up to the mix, while providing additional sparkle with dramatic diamond earrings.

Together, the look was a sartorial success and offered further proof that Liz - who once dated Hugh Grant - is ageing amazingly well.

Clearly feeling good in the outfit, she posed up a storm outside the famous venue as she partied alongside a host of celebrity guests, including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Film-maker Sophia, daughter of screen legend Francis Ford Coppola, has taken charge of the new production at Rome's opera house.

Valentino - who is a patron of the opera house - invited Coppola after watching her 2006 movie Marie Antoinette. The 84-year-old admits he was drawn by her skill of 'balancing the classic and the modern'.

The collaboration has already proven box office gold - with 1.2 million euros being taken already for the run, which lasts until June 30. This is a huge success for the venue, which has struggled to compete with its rivals and has been hit with financial difficulties in recent years.

So youthful! She may be 50 years old, but Liz seems to be successfully raging against the ravages of time...

Carlo Fuortes, the general manager of the opera house, says: 'We had no doubts about her abilities but crossing from cinema to opera is not easy. She turned out to be a wonderful director. For us it’s a great honour to have her here.

'The opera house has already had requests from theatres in Japan and Spain to stage the production... It’s very rare for that to happen before the preview performance has even taken place.'

Coppola and Valentino have also teamed up with Nathan Crowley, a Brit production designer who has worked on the Batman franchise.
