Sharon Stone's basic instinct leadsher astray in a zebra print suit

She may have been attemptingto make a big impact but SharonStone stood out for all the wrongreasons.

Proving once again that herbasic instincts for dress sensehave a habit of leading herastray, the veteran actress turnedup to a pre-Oscars dinner in agaudy zebra print suit.

At one stage the saucy stardangled a pair of diamondencrusted earrings in front ofher chest suggestively and com-pleted the pose with a coy smile.

Sharon and Dita were at a din-ner at the Diamond Information

Center, in West Hollywood, aheadof tomorrow night's hotly antici-pated Oscars ceremony.

Hosted by stunning actressJulianne Moore, no stranger toOscar nominations, invited astring of movie stars and produc-ers, including ER actress AmyRyan, and Juno's writer anddirector Diablo Cody and JasonReitman.
