Catherine Zeta-Jones made a dazzling appearance at New York Comic Con on Friday, stepping onto the stage in a shimmering gold gown.
The 57-year-old actress attended the Kill Jackie panel on October 9, discussing her latest television role at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
Her glamorous outing comes during a busy period for both Catherine and her husband, Michael Douglas, whose newly released memoir, One Helluva Ride, has put their enduring relationship back in the spotlight.

Covered in glittering embellishments, Catherine's champagne-gold dress featured a softly draped neckline, shoulder cutouts and flowing sleeves.
A fitted waist defined her silhouette, while a high split revealed her legs as she took her seat in a director's chair. She completed the metallic look with pointed-toe heels in a complementary bronze shade.
The actress wore her long brunette hair in loose waves, adding sparkling earrings and a statement ring. Dark nails provided a striking finishing touch as she held her microphone and chatted on stage.
With its fluid draping and shimmering finish, the gown brought a touch of evening glamour to the fan event.

While Michael has been reflecting on his life and career, Catherine has offered a funny explanation for why she hasn't finished reading his book.
Appearing on Today on October 8, the actress explained that her packed schedule had left her with little energy for bedtime reading.
"As much as I love my husband, when I'm tired at night, I have no intention of reading about him," she joked.
Catherine had been filming the third season of Wednesday in Dublin before travelling to London and Spain, then heading to New York. Despite her own reading backlog, she encouraged viewers to pick up Michael's memoir.

Her latest project puts Catherine firmly at the centre of the action.
In Kill Jackie, which she stars in and executive produces, Catherine plays Jackie Price, an art dealer whose comfortable life is threatened by the dangerous past she has spent years trying to escape.
Speaking at Comic Con, Catherine credited her dance training with helping her tackle the physical demands of the role.
"It's choreography, and once you know choreography you can pretty much act the physicality of it," she explained.

Away from her own screen commitments, Catherine has been a central part of Michael's reflections on his life.
The 82-year-old actor recently spoke to ABC News' Diane Sawyer about their marriage, including the period when they briefly separated.
"We both had to change," he said, explaining that taking time apart had allowed them to communicate more openly.
The couple will celebrate their 26th wedding anniversary in November, another milestone in a relationship that began after Catherine caught Michael's attention in The Mask of Zorro.
Catherine and Michael celebrate their shared birthday
Before their anniversary, the couple marked another special occasion: their shared birthday on September 25. Catherine turned 57, while Michael celebrated his 82nd birthday.
They met at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998 and married two years later. For this year's birthday celebrations, Catherine shared a photograph of the pair kissing in tropical blue water.
Michael also paid tribute to his wife, accompanying his post with an affectionate message. "Happy Birthday Catherine! I love you always and forever!"
