Monica, 51, showed off her incredible, age-defying curves in a shimmering, purple gown, with a silver lace overlay, which skimmed her ankles while boasting elegant long sleeves.
The stunning actress, who plays foxy temptress, Lucia Sicarra opposite the legandary super sleuth, played by Daniel Craig, wore a sky-high pair of T-bar, black Christian Louboutin heels with a platform heel while further accessorising the outfit with a huge purple stone ring.
She wore her flowing raven locks loose over her shoulders, where the dark colour contrasted stunningly with her flawless, alabaster skin.

Parisian star Lea Seydoux - who is set to play sexy psychologist Madeleine Swann - stood out between the two brunettes as she wore her bouncy blonde locks in Marilyn Monroe-style curls.
Her dress was the most demure of the three as it boasted a polo-neck with long sleeves and a full, ankle-length skirt.
Despite the covered-up nature of the gown, the heavily-embroidered, sheer material gave a peek of flesh from underneath.
In an up-close shot, she wore little make-up, allowing her naturally flawless complexion to glow through while wearing a flouncy blouse with a wide, snakeskin collar, which was adorned with flowers.

Naomie Harris, the latest actress to portray M's lovelorn secretary, Miss Moneypenny, looked stunning in a flesh-flashing black dress.
Although the gown featured a high neck and mid-length skirt, the see-through material allowed a glimpse of both leg and cleavage.
She wore her sleek locks in an elegant centre parting, with long layers which flicked out, flattering her pretty face.
In her striking up-close shot, she rested her hands on her chin to show off her incredible, over-sized amethyst ring, which co-ordinated perfectly with the one-shouldered purple gown, just visible in the picture.

In an interview with the magazine, Monica spoke out about the importance of older women in film.
She said: 'In Europe, I think we’re lucky. Look at Isabelle Huppert, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Juliette Binoche.
'There are a lot of women getting beautiful roles as they get older, and I think it’s right. There’s a certain beauty with youth, but there’s another one that comes with age. Your soul grows, and that’s sexy.'
Lea praised the Bond films, saying: '[It was] my best experience in a film. You’re with the crème de la crème - everything is the best - and that actually makes it easier.'
Naomie agreed: 'Not many films are made like Bond films.'
Striking three: The release of the photos comes just days after the trio attended a press conference with their fellow Bond stars
The release of the photos comes just days after the trio attended a press conference with their fellow Bond stars.
As well as Daniel, they were joined by Dave Bautista (Mr. Hinx), whose tattoo sleeve was on display in a roll-neck black jumper, alongside Ben Whishaw (Q), Christoph Waltz (Franz Oberhauser) and the film's director Sam Mendes.
The women are no doubt preparing themselves for the Spectre World Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday.
A host of stars are expected to attend the star-studded event, which will see the first screening of the latest movie which sees Bond taking on sinister organization SPECTRE.
Spectre is Daniel Craig's fourth Bond movie and Naomie's second yet it is a first for stunning stars Monica and Lea.
Spectre is released in the UK on 26 October 2015 followed by a US release on 6 November
