Today is exactly a month since Italian actress and model Monica Bellucci gave birth.
But at the weekend, the curvaceous 45-year-old still managed to squeeze into her favourite Dolce & Gabbana gown at the fashion brand's '20 Years of Menswear' party in Milan.
Mother of two Monica, who is married to French actor Vincent Cassel, poured her figure into the asymmetrical black dress with lace sleeves.

Baby bump: Posing on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair in March for the second time while pregnant
She first wore the outfit during a red carpet outing at the Rome International Film Festival in October 2008.
And it seems almost two years on, she still liked the gown enough to wear it again, although it did have a few adjustments to the arm detailing.
Matrix Reloaded star Monica looked in incredible shape on Saturday, despite having given birth to her second daughter Léonie on May 21.
She and husband Vincent also have five-year-old daughter Deva together.
In March she appeared on the cover of Italian Vanity Fair magazine, baring her bump for the second time.
Monica first posed with her bump on show six years ago while pregnant and enjoyed it so much she decided to do it again.
Several other celebrities have done the same, the most famous being Demi Moore, who was the first to do it, and Spice Girl Mel B.

Revealing: Seen here in the 2002 film Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra
Monica, who starred in the 2002 film, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, said she decided to reveal all again to show that being a middle-aged mum is not a problem.
She was six months pregnant when she took part in the photoshoot and told the fashion magazine at the time: 'When I had my first child (Deva) at 39 I was told that if I wanted another I should try straight away but I wasn't ready.
''Eventually I decided that I was and I wanted one straight away but babies are not like movies and cannot be organised in a hurry.
'Women who have children late like me are always told how brave they are and it's true that the older you are the more risks you run both for the child and yourself.
'But I don't feel brave, I just feel very lucky. I already have a healthy daughter who I gave birth to in Umbria (Italian region) like an ordinary farm wife.
'This second pregnancy is just as fantastic but I wouldn't say I was an example to follow.'
