She’s got a leg up on summer style.
Denise Richards heated up the beach in a racy black dress as she attended an event for her latest TV show, “Paper Empire,” in Cannes last night.
The 52-year-old former reality star rocked a long-sleeved black gown that was held together with gold chains as she posed in the sand, revealing plenty of leg with the outfit’s high slit — and risking a wardrobe malfunction.
She wore her hair in a straight, half-up style, sporting heavy black eyeliner and a glossy peach lip.
Richards kept her accessories simple to let the sexy dress shine, wearing a pair of gold hoop earrings.
The dress is reminiscent of Elizabeth Hurley’s infamous 1994 Versace safety pin ensemble, although Richards’ version features a cutout at the hip, keeping the top half of the look covered up.
Richards — who stars alongside Robert Davi, Robert Gillings, Bleona Qereti and Carol Alt in the cryptocurrency thriller — posed on the beach with her co-stars as they leaned against huge lit-up letters spelling out “Empire.”
While she went barefoot in the sand, the mom of three added a pair of black heels as she later walked the red carpet.
The onlyFans star was joined by her husband, Aaron Phypers, 50, at the event, sticking her tongue out as she shared a kiss with the actor.
Aside from her fictional drama, Richards appears to be jumping back into the “Housewives” franchise after exiting “RHOBH” in 2020.
The actress had a place at the table for a group dinner that was taped for the Bravo show last month, seemingly marking her return to the reality series.
Perhaps she can bring her new dress along for an episode.
