Penelope Cruz is a Grecian Goddess

I have always thought of Penelope Cruz as a little ethereal. She seems to effortlessly pull off a glamorous yet approachable look; mixing classic style with the latest trends very naturally.

Last week was no exception, as Ms. Cruz attended the Hollywood premier of her latest movie, Volver, wearing a creamy white, asymmetrically cut, beautifully draped Greek-style gown. Cruz accessorized the dress with diamond earrings and bangles, and wore her hair in an Audrey Hepburn-esque chignon. The overall effect may not have been "on trend", but was one of ageless, timeless beauty, which is refreshing to see amidst so many style-of-the-moment, leggings-clad celebrities.

The Spanish stunner is rumored to be a front-runner in the Oscar race for her performance in the all-Spanish Volver. If Cruz wins, she will be the first woman to take home the Best Actress award for a foreign-language film since Sophia Loren won in 1961.

Is your butt so big that someone thinks you have a special made bra for it?

I think that Penelope... like always looks beautiful! I dont think that there is an outfit that she cant pull off. She looks great in the long toga dress, and i think its nice that shes brave enough and has enough confidence that she can try some thing new!
