Hollywood and country music collided in glamorous fashion as Billy Ray Cyrus, 63, and Elizabeth Hurley, 59, made a stunning red-carpet appearance as a couple in the Italian capital. The pair stepped out for the opening of the Orizzonti/Rosso exhibition hosted by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti at the historic Palazzo Barberini.
Their stylish outing marked one of their first high-profile appearances together, and they certainly dressed to impress.

Elizabeth Hurley turned heads in a vibrant pink body-hugging gown, which featured dramatic trailing sleeves that gave her look a touch of red-carpet royalty.

Cyrus, never one to shy away from his signature Southern rocker style, donned tight-fitting black pants adorned with silver medallions, a black leather jacket, and completed his outfit with a western hat, sunglasses, and cowboy boots — a nod to his Nashville roots.
