At the Red Sea International Film Festival 2024 opening ceremony in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas made a stunning appearance. Zeta-Jones, 55, donned a cerulean blue satin strapless gown that gave the illusion of tight pleats across the gown. The dress gathered at her hip and flowed down with an open slit, revealing her nude bejeweled, open-toe pumps that wrapped around her ankles and up to her shins. Along with the pumps, she accessorized with a matching pleated cape featuring a wide train and coordinated the blue ensemble with diamonds and sapphires. Her dark brown hair was in a loose wavy blowout, and her makeup included a dark gray smokey eye and deep brown-nude lipstick. Meanwhile, Douglas, 80, sported a sophisticated black suit, white dress shirt, and black tie.

Anniversary Celebrations

The couple recently marked their 24th wedding anniversary on Monday, Nov. 18. The Wednesday actress and the Fatal Attraction actor shared touching posts featuring throwback wedding photos. Zeta-Jones captioned her post, "24 years ago, I said, I do. Happy Anniversary darling Michael. Our love is like a hole in one…. You have to see it to believe it. love you." Douglas captioned his post, "24 years ago my darling; wow was I a lucky guy! Happy Anniversary Catherine!," tagging his wife.

They tied the knot the following November in an extravagant ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Douglas and Zeta-Jones welcomed their first child together, son Dylan, 24, in August 2000, and then their daughter Carys, 21, in April 2003. Douglas has an older son, Cameron, 45, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker.

Red Carpet Fashion

Zeta-Jones' gown at the festival was a true showstopper. The cerulean blue color was vibrant and eye-catching, while the strapless design added a touch of elegance. The pleats across the gown created a unique texture and movement. Her nude pumps with the bejeweled details were a perfect complement to the overall look. Douglas' black suit was classic and sophisticated, showing his timeless style. The contrast between their outfits added to the visual appeal of their appearance together.

The couple's family is an important part of their lives. Their children, Dylan and Carys, have grown up in the public eye. Douglas and Zeta-Jones have managed to balance their careers with raising their children. Their family bond is evident in the love and support they show each other.
