Sharon Stone put on a brave face during a Dolce and Gabbana photoshoot in Venice on Friday, on the same day as she urged her followers to pray for her nephew River, 11 months, after he was found in his crib with total organ failure.

The actress, 63, was every inch the professional as she powered through the shoot outside Saint Mark's Basilica in St.
Mark's Square, while a crowd of eager onlookers watched on.

Amid the news, Sharon posed with a group of hunky males inside and outside an upmarket eatery in the Italian city. 

Sharon looked sensational as she slipped into a number of sizzling black outfits in the new photoshoot for the luxury Italian fashion house. 

The Basic Instinct actress showed off her toned physique in a little black dress with semi-sheer lace panels, before donning a sleek, strapless number with a sheer black bolero. 

She accessorised her sultry looks with gold earrings, adding a gold necklace in one look before slipping on a pair of dark shades for another.

Sharon also showed off her washboard abs in a racy black crop top with cross-over straps worn with tailored black trousers.

Her cropped, blonde tresses were swept into a chic, tousled style for nft artists all of her shots, while her age-defying features were highlighted with a dewy make-up palette.  

With Sharon shooting for the fashion brand, she'll no doubt attend Dolce and Gabbana's non-fungible token (NFT) collection launch on Saturday.
