Derek Zoolander is back for more, and this time, he brought the beautiful Penelope Cruz with him. The talented Spanish actress co-stars with actor and director Ben Stiller in the highly-anticipated sequel, “Zoolander 2.” At the film’s Madrid premiere on Monday, even Ben’s notorious ‘blue steel’ look couldn’t steal the spotlight from his stunning co-star.
The 41-year-old actress won us over in a gathered strapless white gown with metallic beading from Atelier Versace coupled with a pair of silver Versace sandals.

Ben, who looked dapper in a black suit, might be a seasoned ‘blue steel’ pout professional, but Penelope made it clear that she has also been practicing. Regardless of facial expression, however, the actress was dazzling and unforgettable in her elegant gown.
The Atelier Versace custom gown featured a two-toned white and gold design. From the sweetheart neckline down to the floor, the right side of the gown revealed a surprising beaded gold panel underneath the gathered white fabric. Penelope looked classy and glamorous in the shimmery custom dress.

Adding to the metallic shine of the dress, the actress chose an eye-catching selection of Chopin diamond jewelry including rings, earrings, and bracelets. She played up the golden accents of the dress by using dark smoky eye makeup, bronze cheeks, and a warm beige lip. To match the simple, yet well-put-together elegance of her ensemble, Penelope topped the look off by letting her slightly-curled brown tresses fall freely past her shoulders.

Thankfully, Penelope’s floor-skimming gown didn’t completely hide her footwear. We were able to get a small glimpse of the silver Versace ankle-strap sandals she used to complete her look. The metallic heels are covered in glossy mirrored leather and feature a toe strap and buckle-fastening ankle strap. In addition to the four-inch heels, these sandals also pack in a small but noticeable 0.5-inch platform.
