The duo joined designer Valentino Garavani and screen siren Monica Belluci for an evening viewing of La Traviata directed by Sofia Coppola at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. The mother of two looked like a classic cinema starlet herself, draped in a white one-shoulder gown designed by Vivienne Westwood with slicked back hair and minimal jewelry, aside from her blinding 15-carat square cut engagement ring. "My ring shined so bright for our love in Rome while we celebrated our 2 year anniversary in Italy, the country we got married in! #Blessed" Kardashian captioned a shot of her ring catching the light in the Roman sun.
