What has happened to Meg Ryan's face!

 Fresh-faced actress, 51, reveals tighter visage and plumper lips  

She has long had a seemingly pumped-up, joker-style smile.

The Sleepless In Seattle star drew even more attention to the shape of her mouth by wearing several layers of thick lip gloss on her lips.

Meg's visage also looked remarkably line free for her 51 years.

The When Harry Met Sally favourite's appearance has often come under the microscope.

In the past America's former sweetheart has been unfavourably compared with Britain's own hall of fame inductee, Men Behaving Badly actress Leslie Ash.

Both women sport blonde hair-dos and an unflattering pumped-up, joker smile - thought to be the result of an allergic reaction to collagen implants.

For her appearance at the Italian film festival, Meg was dressed in a simple long sleeve black top and a flared mid length skirt.

She paired the attire with some simple black platform and accessorised with a wristwatch.

At the Italian Film Festival, Meg is set to hold an onstage master class about her acting career.

However, there may not be much recent material to work with as Meg has recently had somewhat of a lull in her career.

Outside of appearances on the Lisa Kudrow web series Web Therapy, the rom-com sweetheart of the 80's and 90's hasn't been performing in much of anything.

Other big name stars set to attend the festival include Henry Cavill and Amy Adams, who will be promoting Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot Man of Steel.

The festival has however been shrouded in sadness following the tragic passing of James Gandolfini who died on Wednesday from a fatal heart attack.

The Sopranos star was on vacation in Rome with his son Michael, 13, as well as his wife Deborah Lin and baby daughter Liliana, nine months, and had apparently been hoping to 'reconnect with his Italian roots' before attending the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily.
