Monica Bellucci, 55, is onsidered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she is also the best proof that nothing can transcend and overshadow natural beauty.

The Italian actress has literally grown up in the wake of the public eye since she started modeling at the age of 13.

However, it was only when she moved to Milan in 1988 that she began to gain fame. In her career, one of the most significant years was 1989. She appeared on the cover of Elle magazine and when her collaboration with the Dolce & Gabbana brand began.

The rising model soon became famous in the fashion world, and her photographs from those days clearly show why.

A photo of young Monica Belucci in a red blouse with a plunging neckline became one of her most iconic images. And it was made exactly in 1989 when the actress was only 25 years old.

Although almost 30 years have passed since then, Monica Bellucci still captivates with the same charm and natural, relentless beauty.

This picture is especially endearing to the actress herself. It was created for Elle magazine in the year when she became famous. The picture was taken by the famous Fabricio Feri.

It has been a long time since Monica Bellucci’s unsteady move to conquer Milan until today. The actress cleverly used that time – she built her name not only as a beauty but also as a great actress. She is also known as a woman who fought for her place in an era where women were expected to look thin all the time.

That’s why today she proudly points out that the most important thing for her in the world is to be happy and feel good in her own skin, and not what anyone will think of her.
