Catherine Zeta-Jones bounces back to exuberant self at the Tony Awards

13 JUNE 2011

She’s had a difficult time recently, having received treatment for bipolar disorder - an illness apparently triggered by her husband's cancer battle. 

But Catherine Zeta-Jones looked nothing short of her exuberant, radiant self as she stepped out at the Tony Awards in New York on Sunday to present two awards.

It marked her first appearance since the story of her illness broke, and the actress was breathtaking in a red Elie Saab, embellished plunging neckline gown, featuring an exposed back.

She presented the best dramatic actor and best musical actor prizes at the Beacon Theatre.

Last year she was a winner, taking home the best actress in a musical Tony for her role in the Broadway revival of A Little Night Music.

Meanwhile, Al Pacino attended the awards ceremony with stunning Argentinian girlfriend Lucila Sola on his arm, grinning broadly - looking very much like the cat who got the cream.

The 31-year-old actress stood proudly by The Godfather star's side and held his hand as they posed on the red carpet.

 

 

And Al wasn't the only one showing off a younger lady.

Kelsey Grammer arrived at the event with his new wife, 30-year-old stunning blonde Kayte Walsh.

It was somewhat reminiscent of the 56 year-old's appearance at the Tony Awards last year, when he was accompanied by equally attractive blonde ex-wife Camille Donatacci shortly before they announced their split.

Clearly at ease, the pair put on an intimate show with their arms clasped tightly around each other.

And the fourth Mrs Grammer grinned widely on the red carpet with her new husband. The former Frasier star was also on presenting duty.
