The new face of Dolce&Gabbana Make up, Monica Bellucci is having a golden press moment. In a shoot and interview with Tatler Magazine, Monica is depicted as a sexy, playful diva, but is recounted as a mother, with sense, intelligence and humour.

 In the decadent silk and brocade baroque setting of the Salon Pompadour at Le Meurice in Paris, Monica looks of another world, and another era perhaps. Styled by Hannah Teare and photographed by Ruven Anafador, Monica is sexy, unobtainable, but always somehow real.

 Her curves, smile, softness and unabashed tenderness with her daughter make her look approachable and motherly. Even in a satin leopard print bodysuit or in a ruffled lace mini dress, Monica always looks warm, a quality which perhaps grounds her Italian roots beyond her experience, looks and accent.
