Penelope Cruz ditches the bangs, wears Givenchy: lovely or fug?

penelope_cruz_2_wenn3337762

I’m not a woman who spends a lot of time on my hair. On one side, I’m lucky that I have zero hair drama – I keep my hair long and simple, and I let it air dry after I shampoo every day. On the other side, that’s basically my only option, because my hair refuses to actually “do” anything, like keep a curl or be teased up. My face limits my options too – I have a round face, and I discovered when I went through a “chopping off my own hair into a makeshift bob” period that very few styles other than “bun” and “longish and straight” work on my face. I’m saying all of this as an explanation – I really don’t know that much about weaves or hairpieces or rivets or “bangs trauma add-ons”. All I know is that on Wednesday, Penelope Cruz had severe bangs trauma, and on Thursday, she didn’t.

These are photos of a de-banged Penelope at the London premiere of Pirates of Caribbean 4. See how lovely she looks without bangs? This is what I’m talking about when I say “bangs trauma”: very few adult women look BETTER with bangs. If you are one of those women, mazel tov. But the majority of adult women who actually wear bangs shouldn’t, and look better without them. Like Penelope. The white lace dress is Givenchy, by the way. Not my favorite look.

And here’s Johnny Depp, still looking nice. I like the haircut on him so much.

Geoffrey Rush! Such an odd looking man, but you know what? I would hit it. I imagine he would lovely and charming in bed.

    1. I’m baffled about the bangs too, unless they were fake and this is her real hair
    2. When did her boobs get so big? They were small in vanilla sky
    3. GF is totally TOTALLY sexy, bc he’s soft spoken, an amaaazzing actor, and british!

  2. seVen says:

    @ Danielle352 – she just had a baby, that makes for the large tah-tahs

    Oh the Dress… I like the idea of the zippers im just not feeling the whole ” hey thats my table cloth!” feeling i get from it.

  3. Xiufetish says:

    Danielle – Did you mean GR? He’s one of ours (Australian). We love to own them when they’re as intelligent and talented as Geoffrey, but more than happy to disown them (Mel Gibson – born in the US, Russell Crowe – born in New Zealand) when they’re not!

    I’m loving the hair without the bangs, but that long swimsuit cover-up with the train has got to go! The black dress she wore to the Russian premiere was equally hideous– it looked like it had sparkly snowflakes all over it. She is a beautiful woman, but she clearly needs a new stylist!

  5. Nanea says:

    That dress? No, thanks, I’ll pass.

    Her hair looks much better though.

  6. aenflex says:

    does no one care to explain this? how?

  7. Lynda says:

    I loved when GR talked about his jowls shaking in the King’s Speech like “Gallapagos turtles”. I’d do it anyway.

    Ditch the zippers on the dress. They’re trashy and tacky. You’re at Cannes, for God’s sake; not some truck stop!

    (But I would totally do Geoffrey Rush!)

    @ danielle – She’s nursing her and Javi’s baby (lucky bitch!).

  9. Jen34 says:

    Penelope looks much better here, but really who cares? It’s all about Johnny, and he looks devine.

  10. Crash2GO2 says:

    Oh, her hair suits her up and with bangs much better. It plays up her eyes, makes her nose look aquiline instead of ever so slightly too long and plays up her lovely neck as well.

    The dress would be gorge if it weren’t marred by completely pointless, tacky, cheap looking zippers. Look how the one in front ruins the line of the dress. Ridiculous!

  11. your mama says:

    Fug + Tacky = slapping on some zippers onto ol’ Great-Grammie’s bedspread. For the love of Pete – this lace variation obsession ever since Kate’s princess wedding gown is now just ridiculous.

  12. MJ says:

    Johnny’s suit would look fantastic next to Tilda’s outfit!

  13. danielle352 says:

    @Xiufetish- got it! Even better!

    @seVen and @original bellaluna- got it! I thought that for a brief second, but then I couldn’t remember any pregnant photos.

    Thanks girls, love ya

    Why does Hot Johnny wear those sunglasses…getting sick of seeing those. Oh and Pen looks pretty…as usual…there’s not much she ‘can’t’ wear.. Bit#h! sigh

  15. Newbie says:

    Were those bangs fake? I like her better without them. The dress is kinda hideous, but she still looks so beautiful. Funny…

  16. KLaw says:

    Lace and Zippers? aiiieeee!! The horror…

    I agree with the Original Bellaluna – it belongs at a truck stop.

  17. Ruffian9 says:

    From the neck up she’s gorgeous. I am NOT liking the dress. Zippers = bad.

  18. sandy says:

    i too like her hair better like this, the dress color is pretty on her, not the style, also love johnny depp, and GR he is a very good actor.

  19. Ron says:

    This has a modern Scarlett O’Hara vibe, get Momma’s curtains and the zippers from the tent, I am going into town!

    Like I said on the Penelope bang trauma post, she wore a bang ( clip on extension) hairpiece. You can buy a cheap one (Jessica simpson Line) at Ulta, extensions.com, wigs.com. I had a baby 10 months ago and a lot of my hair fell out and I’ve been researching extensions. Only reason why I know.
