Updated 12:59pm on 7 Mar 2008


She may think she's too old to play nude scenes, but actress Catherine Zeta Jones can clearly show the young starlets a thing or too about style.

The glamorous Welsh-born star, 38, showed off her classic Park Avenue princess style at the opening of Elizabeth Arden's new flagship store on ritzy Fifth Avenue, New York.

Dressed tight-fitting halternecked cocktail dress and diamante embellished stilettos, the actress had clearly taken pointers from Fifth Avenue's high maintenance ladies who love to shop.

Catherine was at a soiree to celebrate the opening of the company's stunning new store.

As well as cutting a dash with her stylish look, Catherine, 38, who is the face of the famous cosmetics company, also cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony.

It's well-known that the actress has an advertising contract with Elizabeth Arden.

But she also revealed a lesser known fact. The Oscar-winning actress revealed in addition to promotional duties she has a vested interest in the company that pays her to be the global spokeswoman for its products.

"I'm a stockholder, not just the face," said the Academy Award-winning actress.
