Eva Herzigová put on a daring display in a sheer body stocking ensemble as she attended the Maria premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Thursday evening.
The Czech model, 51, looked nothing short of sensational as she showed off her slender figure in a swirl print body stocking which featured a black halterneck bodysuit layered over the top.
The stylish bodysuit boasted a criss-cross halterneck design, a cutout panel at the waist, a high-leg design, and a sheer long train which draped delicately at the back.
She teamed an extravagant gold belly chain with the ensemble and added inches to her tall frame with a pair of black stiletto court heels.
To further accessorise the look, the blonde bombshell wore a chunky gold pendant necklace.

She styled her honey-blonde tresses into voluminous curls for the event and elevated her natural beauty with minimal makeup.
Maria follows the life story of the world’s greatest opera singer, Maria Callas (Angelina Jolie), during her final days in 1970’s Paris.
The upcoming biographical drama film is directed by Pablo Larraín and produced by Fremantle.
It stars Angelina in the title role, with Valeria Golino as her sister Yakinthi, and Haluk Bilginer as Aristotle Onassis.
‘I take very seriously the responsibility to Maria’s life and legacy,’ Angelina said previously in a statement. ‘I will give all I can to meet the challenge.’
The Tomb Raider star also mentioned the film’s director, Pablo, whom she said she had ‘long admired.’
The mother of six added: ‘To be allowed the chance to tell more of Maria’s story with him, and with a script by Steven Knight, is a dream.’
Angelina is lucky enough to wear some of Callas’ real clothes in the film, including vintage fur items from Massimo Cantini Parrini’s archive collection.

The director, who is best known for the bio pictures Jackie (about Jackie Kennedy, played by Natalie Portman) and Spencer (about Princess Diana, played by Kristen Stewart), said: ‘Having the chance to combine my two most deep and personal passions, cinema and opera, has been a long-awaited dream,’ Larraín said.
‘To do this with Angelina, a supremely brave and curious artist, is a fascinating opportunity. A true gift.’
Maria was written by Steven Knight prior to Hollywood’s WGA strike and granted a SAG-AFTRA interim agreement.
Callas lived from 1923 until 1977. She was born in America of Greek heritage and then trained in Greece as well as Italy.
She was not just known for her incredible voice, which helped make her one of the top opera singers of the 20th century, but also for her striking beauty which put a spotlight on her many romances.

Callas was also known for her fierce rivalry with Italian opera singer Renata Tebaldi.
The film will cover her life story and finish with her sad death in Paris after suffering from vision problems that left her almost blind.
Starring in a movie about Callas was a passion project for Faye Dunaway who even wanted to use her own money for the film, but it never came off the ground.
In 2014, Meryl Streep was reportedly set to play Callas in Master Class with Mike Nichols as her director but the project did not come to be.
