Making her first public appearance since separating from her husband Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones attended the groundbreaking of the Oriental Movie Metropolis in Qingdao, China on Sunday (September 22).

The "Chicago" actress looked stunning in a sleeveless red and white dress as she mingled among the other VIP's at the event.

The ceremony heralded the beginning of a $5 billion film studio in China, as well as announcing plans for a Chinese Film Festival.

Meanwhile, although they remain estranged, the English beauty and her actor husband have not filed for a legal separation or a divorce.
