Stone me! It’s Sharon lapping up la Dolce (and Gabbana) vita...

- By Sanchez Manning

ALMOST three decades on from her racy role in Basic Instinct, it seems that Sharon Stone is still content to show off a little flesh.

The 63-year-old bared her enviable physique during a fashion shoot in Venice for Italian designer brand Dolce & Gabbana.

Ms Stone was photograph­ed reclining in the sunlight on a gondola, dressed in a 1950s-style black silk underwear set and spiky high heels. Sporting short blonde hair, she accessoris­ed her revealing outfit with chunky gold earrings and matching necklace.

The American actress perched on the lap of one of the two male models accompanyi­ng her, while stretching her bare legs across the other as the trio – plus their handsome gondolier – floated on the water.

Other photos show her laughing as she stands up on the boat, while her accomplice­s help her to balance.

Earlier, Ms Stone had been pictured in St Mark’s Square posing in

a knee-length ‘little black dress’ and also in black trousers and strappy bra as part of the same photoshoot. She shared a video of herself heading to the shoot on the city’s famous canals with her 2.7 million Instagram followers, captioning it: ‘Off to start my day in a water taxi. Sharon Stone reporting from Venice.’

Ms Stone managed to maintain her profession­alism despite receiving some devastatin­g family news last week. On Friday she posted a picture of her 11-month-old godson hooked up to sensors and tubes in hospital, saying: ‘My nephew and godson River Stone was found in his crib with total organ failure today. Please pray for him. We need a miracle.’

The message prompted an outpouring of support from friends, fans and fellow celebritie­s.
