"Monica Bellucci is a divine lady. I've gone to restaurants with her and you can hear the cutlery drop," says Dior designer John Galliano. There were no diners to astonish, but the striking Italian beauty certainly made an impression at a party held by the famous design house in Paris.



The 41-year-old actress sashayed down the catwalk at the Rouge Dior lipstick launch in a scarlet cape, which she then took off to reveal a fabulous beaded gown. And the chiselled-jawed male models who posed with Monica under the lights also seemed impressed by her famous curves.

Unlike some of her peers the voluptuous Matrix star seems quite at home with having a fuller figure. "I will never be skinny. I also had a child two years ago, and I've been lazy," confides Monica, who is the mother of a little girl named Deva. "I love to eat. Who cares? I am natural."
