For the glitzy affair, the “No Reservations” star shone in a striking, strapless cobalt blue gown that featured a slit on one side and a long extravagant cape that trailed behind her on the red carpet.

Completing her look, Zeta-Jones wore open-toed heels that had strings coiling around her legs and left her dark-colored tresses falling down her back and shoulders in loose curls.

The event she and Douglas attended is the fourth edition of the festival which runs from December 5 to 14. According to the description on the festival’s website, “The Red Sea International Film Festival is the region’s premier cinematic event and the first and only international film festival in Saudi Arabia.”

Whether it’s exploring “the wonders of animation and compelling documentaries” or “captivating and thrilling stories,” the event showcases a selection of carefully curated Saudi, Arab, and international films that cover “all categories of cinematic storytelling.”
Additionally, the event, which takes place in Al Balad’s Culture Square, “welcomes film enthusiasts and filmmakers from Saudi Arabia and beyond, with a wide range of events, programs, activities, and accompanying parties.”
Here is where influential figures in the filmmaking space share their insights and offer “a unique glimpse into the minds of the artists and creators shaping the cinematic landscape.” Such dialogues are designed to enrich festival-goers’ experiences and bring them “closer to the world of cinema.”
She was also honored with a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) title in 2010 “for her contributions to film and charity.”
Although the couple attended the festival for the aforementioned reasons, social media users were less fussed with the event they participated in and more focused on Zeta-Jones’ appearance.
Upon seeing images of her and a post we shared on Facebook about her attendance where we referred to her as a “NATURAL AGELESS beauty,” AmoMama readers flooded our post’s comment section with reactions.
“She’s had surgery done and doesn’t even look like she did when younger,” opined a reader, while another asserted, “natural beauty [sic]🤣🤣🤣 Come on, what does she have natural on her face and in certain places of her body?”

A fellow Facebooker penned, “Had a face lift [sic].” “Natural 😂😂😂. Botox 🤔 maybe🤦🏻♀️,” added someone else. Another reader wrote, “Cheeky Botox..” while a spectator remarked, “Don’t think it’s natural! Looks as though cheeks have fillers and her mouth.”

“She had face surgery. She changed completely,” highlighted an observer. Another chimed in with, “Beautiful but not natural.” Expressing a similar sentiment, a reader echoed, “She’s z as beautiful woman but looking at her then and now she’s definitely aged [sic].”

“You don’t have to be a beauty queen to be an actress. The roles that are coming my way are different and more interesting. But I’m not anti-plastic surgery at all,” shared Catherine Zeta-Jones.
