Penélope Cruz’s San Sebastian Film Festival Lace Gown Gives Bridal Chic

Penélope Cruz looked like a vision in white as she arrived at the red carpet of the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain on September 20. The actress exuded feminine charm in a lace gown while hopping on to the trend of wearing a big bow. Making a fashion statement, she posed for photographs with her husband, Javier Bardem. Keeping it simple with minimal accessories, Cruz exuded the perfect bridal chic.

Penélope Cruz’s lacy gown blends bridal fashion with coquette trend

Cruz had an interesting choice of outfit for her appearance at the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival. The actress oozed glamour in a bow-topped lace gown by Chanel, reported WWD. The gown, which also had sheer tulle straps, featured form-fitting lace with a drop waist and a mermaid train. However, the fitting coquette bow on the outfit stole all the attention. The bow made a sophisticated style statement as it sat firmly in a structured manner with a camelia flower in the middle. 

While the black bow might look contrasting to the fitted lace bodice gown, it perfectly complemented Cruz’s black clutch. The actress accessorized the look with sparkling drop earrings and a large ring featuring intricate patterns. Her brown hair was parted sideways in a messy and flowy fashion, as she let her lace gown do all the talking at the film festival.

At the event, Penélope Cruz was accompanied by her husband, Javier Bardem. Accepting his Donostia Lifetime Achievement award at the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival, Bardem gushed over his wife and thanked her for her support. He said, “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.” He further applauded Cruz’s responsibility for the family and others, expressing his deep admiration for their bond.

The couple, who married in July 2010, share two children.
