This or that?: Penelope sizzles in the day, goes effortlesslychic at night

Penelope Cruz has recently proved in London that day-to-night style works in both directions

She’s a pro at blazing red carpets, but she has the knack of appearing dapper off-duty as well. Penelope Cruz recently proved in London that day-to-night style works in both directions as she sported an elegant black dress in the day time and off-the-cuff skinny jeans at night.

Shopping in the daylight



Hair and make-up

The Counselor beauty kept her chestnut mane loose, particularly styled in a shambolic updo. The star surely pulled off her makeshift hair by showcasing a flawless complexion. Rocking the minimalist look, the actor livened up the nude lipstick like no other.

Outfit

The Latino hottie sported a little black dress that did wonders at flaunting her enviable shape. The knee-length number comprised an off-the-shoulder element that not only revealed her toned frame but also upped the ‘formal’ quotient of her LBD.

Accessories

Carrying a gold-chain strapped mini meather bag, the star chose to go accessory free. Channeling the daytime vive, she went bling free but made up for it through her gold Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Featuring black suede toe straps, these gold-tone chain detailed heels oozed opulence and finesse.

Heading to dinner in the evening



Hair and make-up

Letting her locks do their thing once again, the stunning star managed to do justice to the emblematic bohemian style. Going sans make-up, Penelope permeated class and an effortless appeal that shouted, “I woke up like this.” We were in love, may be more so, than earlier in the day.

Outfit

The wife of Javier Bardem went laidback by sporting faded black skinny fitted jeans and a baggy but oh-so-good-looking mustard-hued jumper that didn’t exactly enhance her petite bod but we loved that she can carry almost anything flawlessly and make heads turn.

Accessories

Rocking a tan hat and simple earrings, the diva needed nothing more to grab our attention. For a touch of excitement and subtlety, the brunette sported the same gold strappy Giuseppe Zanottis, as she did earlier on in the day. That just proves how versatile the actor is when it comes to film roles and her wardrobe.
