For the ceremony, she donned a lace sheath dress from the L’Wren Scott Fall 2011 Collection, black Christian Louboutin peep-toe red bottom pumps, and Chopard jewelry.

Born to a hairdresser and a merchant, Penelope made a glamorous entrance at the 2019 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries, or Television Film for her work on “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story”.

One month earlier, she also turned heads while presenting at The Fashion Awards held in partnership with Swarovski at Royal Albert Hall in London, England.

Famous for her big breasts, Penelope paired a lovely Chanel Spring 2018 Haute Couture dress with Atelier Swarovski jewelry and metallic sandals.

Penélope Cruz has always been an image of grace and sophistication with her preference for classic silhouettes, while unfailingly exerting a bit of sexiness by pulling off practically any shade of red.

Such seemed to be the case when the actress arrived at the London press junket and photocall of The Counselor, where Penélope stepped out in front of the cameras in a hybrid preppy-meets-structured red look by Nina Ricci – but this look turned out to be anything but red hot.

The popular Spanish actress wore a red off-shoulder-cardigan-meets-blazer top from Nina Ricci paired with a pencil skirt of the same shade from the same brand.

She softened the look up a bit more by slipping into a pair of black bow pumps and putting up her hair in a messy updo.

Penélope accentuated her look with a black clutch and a simple black leather-strapped watch.

Penelope Cruz’s mysterious 883 ankle tattoo has been a subject of speculation for a very long time.

In an interview, she said: “It’s not a Harley Davidson. It’s not the different things that have been said. I don’t think anyone cares. It’s my own tattoo.”

All we can say about this top is that it was one red hot mess. First, who ties a cardigan over a blazer? Second, the silhouette was just downright confused – both bulky and messy, and something that “gifted” women should run away from screaming.

Penélope has one of the most banging bodies in Hollywood, and this top just concealed and revealed in all the wrong places. Why she even considered this look is beyond us.
