Featuring panels of mauve, cream and peach, the colour-clashing number was cinched at the waist with a large patent belt to emphasise the Italian bombshell's hourglass figure to perfection. 

The strategically placed sheer lace panels gave a glimpse of Monica's black bra as she worked her magic in front of the cameras at the event.

Adding height to her frame with a pair of towering black patent platform wedges, the brunette looked incredible for her moment in the spotlight.

Monica wore her raven locks in bouncy curls and accentuated her classically striking features with heavy eyeliner and a slick of pale pink lipstick.

The actress was joined by distinguished guests Valeria Golino and Roberto Ciccutto at The Maxxi, a national museum of contemporary art and architecture in Rome. 

It's been a busy few weeks, with the actress promoting her latest movie On The Milky Road during the 73rd Venice Film Festival earlier this month. 

Monica recently revealed her beauty advice to the Telegraph newspaper, admitting she doesn't like the gym and enjoys treating herself to cakes, pasta, wine and cigarettes.

Monica explained: 'I’m not someone who wakes up at 6am to go to the gym.

'Because the truth is that I like cakes and pasta, the odd glass of wine and a very occasional cigarette.' 

In conclusion, the brunette added: 'My advice is: eat well, drink well, have good sex – and laugh a lot. The rest comes all on its own.’

Monica was married to French actor Vincent Cassel for 14 years before announcing their separation in 2013. 

The couple share two daughters, Deva, 12, and Léonie, six.
