‘RED 2’ may be about retired CIA operatives, but the actors aged 40 and above who play them certainly don’t look their age at all. An example is 43-year-old Catherine Zeta-Jones in a figure-hugging Michael Kors number at the movie’s New York City screening.

The event was held at New York City’s famous Museum of Modern Art on July 16 and was attended by most of the movie’s all-star cast, including Bruce Willis (with wife Emma Heming), Helen Mirren, and Mary Louise Parker.

Not many 43-year-olds can pull off a slit that high, but Catherine did. She looked sexy in her embellished panel dress and slicked-back hairdo, and she had no problem showing off her curves.

We love how she seemed to have bounced back from her recent stint in a psychiatric facility for her bipolar disorder. The actress paired the dress with Maiyet shoes and Neil Lane earrings.

A few days earlier, she attended the Los Angeles premiere of the same film in a black lace Maria Lucia Hohan gown.

Catherine styled it with black Jerome Rousseau ankle-strap sandals and Neil Lane jewels. Which of the two outfits do you prefer?
