Penelope Cruz Birthday Special! Her Red Carpet Fiesta Has Always Been Fiercely Feminine With Subdued Sassiness!

The Spanish actress who began as a child artist is a bonafide bombshell! Her obvious beauty and a sultry on-screen demeanour have been engaging right from her debut in Hollywood in the early 2000s. Married to Spanish hunk, Javier Bardem, Penelope is also a delight off-screen! Her tryst with fashion is a carefully acquired one. As much as she rakes up a storm on the street style front with her effortless fashion and a subtle beauty game in tow, she is a red carpet trailblazer. Fiercely feminine is her thriving red-carpet vibe as she goes on to daze the fashion pundits with vintage and contemporary creations. Also, her ability to tame the finer elements of ruffles, fringes, tulle in unconventional hues is applause-worthy. Blessed with flawless skin, cute smile, luscious locks and a tall frame, Penelope takes it all in her stride with a humble and affable charm. It is for these reasons and many more that the late Karl Lagerfeld found his muse in Penelope Cruz. As she turns 46, we decided to take a stroll down the memory lane of the Spanish Oscar-winning actress' red carpet moments.
