Penélope Cruz, 47, is just as talented as she is stylish, and she proved this in a timeless pink Chanel-designed mini dress at the Oscars Luncheon in Los Angeles this month. The acclaimed actress is nominated for the coveted Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role honor for her impassioned performance in Parallel Mothers, and she paid homage to her success in style.
Cruz, who is a Chanel ambassador, donned the chic, ‘watermelon’-colored boucle garment from the French luxury brand’s Spring 2022 collection. With its fitted, sleeveless silhouette, buttons down the center, frontal pockets and woven texture, Cruz looked as radiant and effortlessly stunning as ever.

The Jamón Jamón icon accessorized her thigh-skimming look with accessories from the fashion house, including a sparkly, thin-strung black bag and matching black pumps with a peep-toe that revealed her rose-colored pedicure. Cruz painted her fingernails a lighter shade and slipped shiny silver rings on to complete the ensemble. She wore her highlighted brown hair in a collarbone-length lob and parted her tresses down the center, which drew attention to her iconic kohl-rimmed eyes and glossy pink lip.
Parallel Mothers is Cruz’s eighth collaborative effort with director Pedro Almódovar, and she stars as Janis, a powerful single mother who has to give birth amid trauma. Praise and rave reviews for Cruz are already circling, making her a likely contender to nail the impressive Oscar.

The 355 star posed with her husband, Javier Bardem, 53, at the event held at the Fairmont Century Plaza as he is also nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of Desi Arnaz in Being the Ricardos. What a well-dressed power couple! To see if they win their awards, we’re tuning into the Oscars on March 27th (oh, and we assume Cruz will be gorgeously adorned in Chanel).
