Penelope Cruz radiated classic Hollywood elegance as she graced the red carpet at the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain on Friday. The 50-year-old actress stunned the crowd in a figure-hugging white lace gown. Her floor-length dress featured delicate tulle straps, a fitted lace bodice, and a dramatic mermaid-style skirt. Adding a touch of contrast, a black bow adorned her waist, creating an eye-catching balance between sophistication and charm.
Penelope completed her glamorous look with a sleek black clutch bag, sparkling drop earrings, and a matching statement ring, all carefully chosen to complement the ensemble. Her long, voluminous waves framed her face, adding an extra layer of classic beauty, while her makeup was soft and understated. She opted for brown eyeliner, a hint of mascara, and a glossy nude lip, enhancing her natural features without overshadowing the stunning gown.
The Oscar-winning actress attended the event with her husband, fellow actor Javier Bardem, who looked dashing in a navy suit paired with a crisp white shirt and a black bow tie, perfectly complementing Penelope's outfit. The couple, married for 13 years, appeared very much in love as they held hands and smiled for the cameras. Their strong bond, nurtured over the years, was clear to see, and they lit up the red carpet together.
Penelope dazzled in a beautiful, long white dress. Hello!
Penelope and Javier, who share two children, 12-year-old Leo and 10-year-old Luna, have kept their family life private, despite their high-profile careers. They tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in the Bahamas back in 2010, and their love has only grown stronger over time.
During the festival, Javier Bardem was honoured with the prestigious Donostia Lifetime Achievement Award, a moment made even more special by his heartfelt tribute to his wife. Speaking to the audience, Javier expressed his deep admiration and gratitude for Penelope, not only as a partner but as a person who deeply cares for those around her. In his moving speech, he praised her for being a loving mother, a dedicated friend, and someone who selflessly gives her time and attention to those in need, whether they know her personally or not.
The couple smiled brightly as they posed on the red carpet. Hello!
“To a woman who I love and who I’ve shared a life with, I want to thank and give my deep gratitude for the human being you are and how you can be responsible for life, the life of your children, the life of your family, your mother, your friends, the life of others, the many people that you don’t know that you suffer for and you take care of and undoubtedly the life of this gentleman who’s here, who loves you and thanks you very much for it,” Javier said during his touching tribute.
