She looks amazing

Pen�lope Cruz went to Cannes Festival to support and promote Woody Allen's latest film: Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I am really looking forward to seeing the movie, not only because a part of the film happens in a place I love, but also because of the rivalry between Scarlett and Pen�lope. Both of them are excellent actresses. Also the Oscar-winner Javier Bardem (current boyfriend of Cruz) appears in the film, it is said he plays the role of the typical macho who wants to sleep with all of them. He plays Cruz's ex-husband. All the reviews I've read say it is a very funny film. We'll see. I guess with Woody's films there is no average, you just love him, or hate him. Which one is your "team"?

Pen�lope in Cannes 2008

Pen�lope Cruz acudi� al festival de Cannes para apoyar la �ltima cinta de Woody Allen, y en la que ella desempe�a un papel: Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Realmente me muero de ganas por ver la peli, no solo porque una parte de la acci�n transcurre en un lugar que yo adoro, sino tambi�n por la rivalidad que seguramente va a estar latente en toda la pel�cula entre Scarlett y Pen�lope.
Supongo que a Bardem hacer de machito (he le�do que su papel es b�sicamente eso) no le habr� costado mucho... Todas las cr�ticas que he visto dicen que no es una obra maestra, pero que es divertida. Los cinco minutos de ovaci�n que recibi� en Cannes espero que quieran decir algo. En fin, ya veremos! Con las pelis de Allen no hay t�rmino medio, o las adoras, o las odias. Yo soy del primer "equipo", �y t�?

Pen�lope Cruz is the most international Spanish actress of our times. She has been nominated to an Oscar in the last edition for his role in Almodovar's film "Volver". I guess all these recent changes in her life have helped her to cultivate her style. She is still the simple and natural girl she used to be in the late '90, but the names on the tags of her garments has changed. She never risks in fashion, but she is always cool and chic. She perfectly represents the Mediterranean culture -despite she is from Madrid-. Her natural elegance and her sweet smile crowned her as the cool one girl of the month.

She didn't win, but she wore THE DRESS of the last Oscars.

I personally think this Atelier Versace is one of the most beautiful dresses I've ever seen.


Chanel Haute Couture is among her favourite red carpet's choices:

De la Renta is in her A-list too:

I am in love with this De la Renta coat which is still in net-a-porter, unfortunately, I can't afford it :(!

The first time I saw this Dior dress I thought, "Mmm, I think I could get married with that one"

Her particular face

She has participated in charity campaigns, like this one, to help fighting against the AIDs:

She also took part in the 2006 prestigious Pirelli calendar



It is said to have a relationship with Spanish actor Javier Bardem. They already worked together ten years ago in the high-sexual-content film: "Jam�n, jam�n":
