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.

Classic glamour: Catherine Zeta-Jones is the epitome of classic Park Avenue glamour as she arrives at the opening the new flagship Elizabeth Arden store in New York last night

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.

Zeta-Jones told Australian newspaper, The Daily Telegraph: "That's a gradual thing for me because I'm too old to play the ingenue.

"I think it's just a natural progression,'' she says.

"I'm 38 years old and I'm going to play more mums than sex symbols.'"

"I learnt to play my golf, in Australia,'" she says. "That's where the passion took me over".

And in typically ribald style, she admitted: "When Michael has a celebrity golf tournament, it's always guaranteed my game goes to s***.
