Duchess Of Alba, Tom Cruise Walk 'Mission Impossible 4' Red Carpet Together (PHOTOS)

Perks of having more titles than any other noble in the world: you get to walk the red carpet with Tom Cruise.

The Duchess of Alba flaunted her awesomeness last night with Tom Cruise on her arm, as the pair walked the red carpet at a "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol" photo call in Madrid.

The Spanish duchess, whose full name is Maria del Rosario Cayetana Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Francisca Fitz-James Stuart y de Silva, also brought along her husband of two months, Alfonso Diez (although she seemed to favor her movie star date, obviously).

The duchess made headlines when she wed Diez, a commoner 25 years her junior, and endured months of disputes with her family over the fate of her fortune (an estimated $4.9 billion).

But the wedding went off without a hitch and off into marital bliss the duchess skipped! Well, not skipped -- she is a bit fragile. With a younger husband and an active social calendar, the Duchess of Alba looked positively youthful(ish) on last night's red carpet in playful floral stockings (girl loves her patterned tights), sensible black flats and a luxe fur coat fit for a royal. She even sported some fun diamond hair accessories.

Tom Cruise, on the other hand, was not having the best style moment: the "Mission Impossible" star looked a bit schlumpy in a chunky white turtleneck, black pants and a tan leather jacket. Not the worst outfit we've ever seen, but a sleek Armani suit it was not...

Take a look at the duchess' hot date below! That is one pleased 85-year-old woman.

I honestly try to be nice, but man, her new husband deserves any money he gets.

Her fortune is more impressive than her title. How did she make her money, one of the old-fashioned ways? Guess money improves one's looks, but this Dame looks bad even for 85.

Well, at least she isn't taller than Cruise.

That would have been so embarrassing for him.

Is there nothing T Cruise won't do for his alien overlords?

In Milan, bandages beneath floral stockings are going to be de rigeur next season. Neiman-Marcus is already thinking, in time for next Christmas, of a robotic aging boytoy, actually a pair of them---for the wrinkly couple that "shares" everything.

Think about it. How cool can a 85 year old billion air get a red carpet walk with the Tom Kat, the best actor in the world and top star? Its a mission Impossible reality dream come true. I just wonder if he is going to take the Cougar to the scientology lab and zap her back to the fountain of youth in Clearwater Florida. It must be a connection there. Still cool to see them hamming it up!

A washed up gin-swilling Vegas lounge singer comes to mind...

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly (that's right Tom I'm talking bout you)

Certain as the sun
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
The Duchess IS the Beast.

Probably plastic surgery. Wouldn't it be a shame to find out underneath it all that face, those billions, she's just an average gal? I hope she's totally batsh*t to boot!

"Perks of having more titles than any other noble in the world: you get to walk the red carpet with Tom Cruise"??
And would there be any perks for Mr Cruise or organizations he supports?
Any?
None?
The Duchess isn't exactly a pauper, is she?
