The 67-year-old actress looked smitten with her 38-year-old evening companion as they posed for photographs together at the event.

The former England captain kicked things off on Monday when he attended the Soong Ching Ling Foundation charity event and donated his Paris Saint-Germain shirt, along with those from AC Milan, Los Angeles Galaxy, Real Madrid, Manchester United and England to a children's charity in Beijing.
Speaking at the event, David said his greatest experience came winning his 115 caps.
He said: 'The biggest achievements of my career was to have played for that number of times. To be captain for my country was very, very special.'

On Tuesday David played football with children at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province of China.
And on Wednesday he was seen posing up with the team at Shanghai Shenxin F.C. in Shanghai.
David, who is known in China as 'Little Becks', is increasing his popularity ever time he visits in his ambassadorial role.
Following his account launching on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter, on Monday, David had amassed over 100,000 followers in just two hours.

Earlier in the trip on Wednesday, David was seen visiting Shanghai Shenxin F.C.

David is visiting as ambassador to the Chinese Super League, a role which involves him promoting the league, whose image has been battered not only by poor results by the national side, but also by corruption scandals.
The trip is the second of three that he is making to China during the season, which runs from March to November.
After his visits to eastern China, David is expected to meet up with Victoria at a charity auction in Beijing on Sunday.
