Catherine Zeta-Jones, 53, and her husband Michael Douglas, 78, made a striking pair as they left the Italian restaurant Taverna del Marinaio on a recent Monday.
Radiating her timeless elegance, Catherine dazzled in a dark purple floral print maxi dress that beautifully complemented her slender figure. The Welsh star added a touch of Italian glam with black-and-beige platform espadrille sandals, purple-tinted sunglasses, and long lavender earrings.
She completed her chic ensemble with a black Chanel purse and bracelets, her long black hair cascading over her bare shoulders.
Michael, an Oscar winner himself, was by Catherine's side, holding her hand as they immersed themselves in the joy of vacationing in Portofino, Italy.
The two Hollywood icons blended with the crowd on the sidewalk of one of Italy's most adored resort towns. Known for its exquisite seafood restaurants and 16th-century fortress and museum, Portofino is a picturesque fishing village on the Italian Riviera coastline, southeast of Genoa city.

Michael, the star of the TV show The Streets of San Francisco, the movie Wall Street, and the streaming series The Komisky Method, was comfortably dressed in a dark blue button-down shirt, pale slacks, and black driving loafers.

Soon after they met, Michael famously told Catherine: "I want to father your children." Their romance bloomed, and they wed in a splendid ceremony at The Plaza in New York City in 2000, welcoming their son Dylan and daughter Carys soon after.

Speaking to Page Six at the Broadway opening of Good Night, Oscar, Dylan quipped: "More in terms of what he says, rather than who he is. 'Just dad stuff. (He's a) bit out of touch – bad jokes for sure!"

He mentioned considering incorporating into his will that all rights to his image be left to his family, adding: "It's only a matter of time before you'll be able to recreate any dead person at any age with the voice and the mannerisms, so I want to have some control."
© MEGA/GettyOn a lighter note, Michael expressed his joy at being recognized by the younger generation for his role as Hank Pym in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Ant-Man. "I get a big kick out of having these kids pulling on my jacket, saying, 'Hank Pym! Ant-Man!' It's as close to immortality an actor can get," he said.
Catherine, in 2016, had amusingly revealed a unique rule during her golf games. She said: "If he ducks a shot, he has to drop his pants. It's not just my husband, it's any man I play."
With a chuckle, she added: "There has been an issue with paparazzi, so I make him go into the bushes. A deal is a deal."
