Penelope Cruz’s chichis in black sequin lace: hot or budget 90s?

Penelope Cruz has been to so many premieres lately and photocalls in Cannes that I’m surprised to see these new photos of her. She’s now in Madrid for the premiere of Pirates will never die or whatever, and as you may recall we saw her at a photocall there yesterday wearing a questionable navy jumpsuit with front pockets. It wasn’t the worst outfit, and Kaiser and I really loved her hair. It was so pretty long and wavy like that and thank goodness she ditched the clip on bangs.

Last night Penelope attended the premiere in Madrid wearing a long black form fitting gown with lace sleeves and sequins running along the bustline and the sides. This dress reminds me so much of my early 90s prom dress. It had long lace sleeves very similar to these, although the shoulders were puffy and the thing was deep purple with black lace. While this dress may draw our attention to Penelope’s fabulous nursing boobs it’s fug, as was my prom dress. Like her navy jumpsuit, there’s something “off” about it but it’s not terrible.

I do like her hair pulled up like that with some strands hanging down. Coupled with those lovely drop earrings and her pretty makeup there’s something so elfin and dainty about her look. She’s a beautiful woman.

Here’s Penelope with Spanish actor Jordi Molla. He’s not in the movie but I guess he’s big in Spain.

Look he’s seducing you with his eyes. He’s alternately intrigued and disgusted by you.

And here she is with costars Oscar Jaenada and Sam Claflin. That one dude Oscar Jaenada is wearing a rock t-shirt with a fancy black jacket over it and big black beads. He’s cracking me up.

Penelope is also shown with Astrid Berges-Frisbey in the picture above. Astrid turns 25 next week although she looks much younger. She’s so pretty and must play the ingénue.

    Astrid’s shoes are amazing!

    Oh I love Jordi Molla. Penelope and him did the movie “Blow” together. With Johnny Depp.

    (Ohhh and he was the bad guy in Bad Boys II.)

  7. Julie says:

    I consider her and Charlize the most beautiful movie stars!

  8. Julie says:

    p.s. I would add, neither appears to do the plastic and neither is afraid to eat.

  9. flounder says:

    The dress seems like it’s for an older woman.

  10. ViktoryGin says:

    I like it. I find that Mediterranean woman pull off black lace really well. It’s very elegant and age-appropriate.

  11. Spaniard says:

    I’m sure she borrowed this dress from Salma Hayek’s wardrobe.

    On the other hand Astrid Berges-Frisbey is gorgeous.

  12. ladybert62 says:

    I like the black/lacey dress!

  13. Jb says:

    Her bosom is glorious

  14. KateNonymous says:

    It looks a little old for her, but I don’t think it’s fug.

  15. chloe says:

    I would love to be the creme filling in a Javi/Jordi sandwich.

  16. Cheyenne says:

    She could make a dress from Cheap Charlie’s Bargain Basement look gorgeous, but that dress is beautiful no matter where it came from.

  17. Scarlet Vixen says:

    I don’t know about 90s, but it is a bit matronly. Sophia Loren would totally rock that dress!

  18. kelbear says:

    I love hair that looks simple in the front but has something like hers in the back. She looks great!

  19. Lola says:

    If you like kates dress this is in same vein

  20. Stacy says:

    Penelope is perfection to me.

  21. Maritza says:

    Astrid’s shoes are really nice!Penelope always looks fabulous in black.

  22. Oh the Humanity says:

    I like the concept of the dress, but somehow this looks cheap?

    And Yes, Scarlet Vixen- Sophia would totally rock that dress!

  23. thegreatdefender says:

    she looks stunning, old hollywood glam, she knows the drill and excels at it

  24. Sumodo1 says:

    It looks like an old Valentino from Sophia Loren’s closet.

  25. Amanda G says:

    She looks beautiful, but I wish her boobs weren’t pushed up to her chin.

  26. sandy says:

    it’a a mature look, sure, but i like it. she looks great.

  27. phlyfiremama says:

    Its very reminescint of the gowns Spanish ladies used to wear, in the black velevet paintings with their hair combs in…sort of like the old flamenco dancers. Maybe an homage to her heritage?

  28. Newbie says:

    I actually like it on her.

  29. original kate says:

    i like the dress but it looks itchy 🙁

  30. Twez says:

    goth mother-of-the-bride gown

  31. Hakura says:

    I really do like the *cut* of the dress.. but there’s something about this particular ‘lace’ that I don’t care for. (& the strange little ‘fuzzies’ it seems to have.) Her body & face are lovely, I just think the dress could’ve been executed better. (as in, the design.) It has a very ’90’s’ feel to it.

  32. kaligula says:

    she is always hot and i would kill a baby to have hair like hers
