Sharon Stone, 66, stuns in feathered gown at film festival

Sharon Stone put on another showstopping display on Friday evening as she accepted the prestigious Gold Cariddi Lifetime Achievement Award at the Taormina Film Festival.

The actress, 66, wore a flamboyant dress covered in a monochromatic print with a feathered fringe across the one shoulder neckline and down the hem.

The floor length gown paid homage to her renowned Basic Instinct scene where the then-32-year-old donned a white mini dress on a darkened set.

The ageless beauty kept accessories minimal with no jewellery and her blonde locks in a slicked-back hairstyle.

Sharon beamed as she was handed the award from Elvira Amata, tourism councillor for Sicily.

When talking to Variety Sharon explained that the world of cinema has changed dramatically due to the increasing demand to make money but now it is changing again by stepping away from huge blockbusters to ‘smaller and more relevant films’.

She also spoke about women being more involved in the movie making process, she said: ‘I just have to say now that women are writing, producing, and are more and more a part of filmmaking, and films are less about men writing about their fantasies of the way women are and actors asked to portray the male fantasy, and the critics are less asked to tell us if we fulfil the male fantasy.

Earlier in the day Sharon looked incredible as she arrived for another red carpet at the festival, dressed in a sheer glitzy gown with a mini slip underneath.

She oozed elegance in the sparkly dress and flaunted her youthful looks while posing at the event.

Sharon flashed her gorgeous smile and added a flick of pink gloss to compliment her look.

The icon teamed her glamorous outfit with dramatic gold dangling earrings and added height to her frame with silver high-heels.

The actress appeared to be in great spirits as she posed for photos and blew kisses to the crowd during the exclusive event.

It comes after Sharon recreated her iconic interrogation scene from the erotic classic Basic Instinct in a sexy lingerie shoot.

The actress took to Instagram to share a jaw-dropping image clad in red lace lingerie, 32 years after she famously starred as the sexy killer Catherine Tramell.

The famous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct saw Sharon’s character Catherine quizzed by police, including Michael Douglas.

Amid the bombardment of questions, Catherine distracts them when she uncrosses the recrosses her legs, leaving the men flustered seeing as she was underwear-free at the time.

The scene was highly controversial at the time, and now has gone down as one of the most infamous in movie history.

And the actress proudly showcased her incredible figure in the sexy lingerie from Bloomers Intimate, posing with her legs crossed in an ode to the legendary scene.

Despite the moment turning Sharon into an overnight sensation, the Academy Award nominee has maintained in the past that she was ‘tricked’ into exposing herself for the cameras.

In her memoir The Beauty of Living Twice, Sharon described how she slapped her director Paul Verhoeven in fury and walked out of a preview of the erotic thriller after discovering his assurances that it wouldn’t show up on screen had been a lie and that the audience could — as she put it — ‘see all the way to Nebraska’.

For his part, Verhoeven has vehemently dismissed her claims that she was taken by surprise in the leg-crossing scene.

He said: ‘Any actress knows what she’s going to see if you ask her to take off her underwear and point there with the camera.’

But the Hollywood veteran has also been adamant she didn’t have any regrets about making the film.

‘Regrets are like farts, you can’t get them back. Once they’re out, there’s stinky and gone,’ she quipped previously.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter recently Sharon claimed the $18 million she had accrued after more than two decades in the film industry evaporated during the years she was unable to work due to brain damage from the stroke.

The actress — who has controversially claimed that Kevin Spacey’s banishment from Hollywood was partially inspired by homophobia — attributed her loss of millions to people around her who allegedly mismanaged her money as she struggled to regain basic functions, like the ability to read, which she lost ‘for a couple of years’.

In total, Stone said it took her seven years to mostly recover from the effects of the life-threatening stroke, which doctors gave her just one in 100 odds of surviving.

‘People took advantage of me over that [recovery] time,’ Stone claimed. ‘I had $18 million saved because of all my success, but when I got back into my bank account, it was all gone.’

She described the surreal feeling of having little to her name once she was competent enough to take over her finances.

‘My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people’s names,’ she revealed.

She then clarified: ‘I had zero money.’
