Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus step out in style for their public debut as a couple at a dinner celebrating fashion legend Valentino in the Eternal City Eyes shining with happiness, Elizabeth Hurley could not have looked prouder to be making her public debut with her new boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus.

Radiant in pink, the actress gazed affectionately at her musician beau as they posed together at an exclusive party in Rome last week.

Elizabeth, who turns 60 next week, looked elegant in a caped floor-length gown at a dinner held at Palazzo Barberini to mark the opening of Orizzonti/Rosso, an exhibition of around 70 Valentino dresses staged by the Fondazione Valentino Garavani e Giancarlo Giammetti.

Meanwhile, Billy Ray, 63, lived up to his rock-star reputation in tight black trousers, a cowboy hat with matching boots and dark sunglasses.
