How to Get Penelope Cruz's Style

Penelope Cruz's beauty stands alone, but she does a great job of playing up her figure and face through stylish clothes. You too can get Cruz's gorgeous style with just a few pieces.

Things You'll Need

• White coat
• Black belt
• Tan purse
• Flowing dress
• Strappy sandals
• Short, baggy sundress
• Sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Moisturizer
• Liquid liner

Instructions

1. Get Penelope Cruz's hairstyle. Penelope has rarely changed her long brown hair into another shape, but she's great at manipulating what she has for the red carpet. Learn how to create her style at The Hair Styler website (see Resources below).

2. Find the perfect shoe. Penelope is on the short side, so she prefers high heels. Cruz's style calls for strappy black sandals, like Kenneth Cole Reaction Rich N Post in black satin.

3. Buy a simple purse. Penelope's choice in bags isn't ostentatious. Choose a simple tan clutch, like a crocodile purse from the Nancy Gonzalez collection at Neiman Marcus.

4. Pick out a great formal dress. Penelope sizzles in red, but she also wears a lot of white, cream and black. Her dresses tend to be knee-length, flowing and romantic.

5. Get a white coat. When she wears her hair and eye makeup a certain way, Penelope's face screams mod. She has often been seen in a white coat with a black belt, a modern twist on the mod trend.

6. Slink into a restaurant for lunch wearing a baggy yet short sundress. Penelope shows off her legs in baggy sundresses, such as the Loewe puffball sleeve dress that paparazzi have spotted her in around town.

7. Relax like Penelope with a simple pair of jeans, a yellow tank top and a tan sweater. Penelope likes to wear her dark wash jeans floor length. Top off the look with a long, swinging necklace.

Tips & Warnings

• Sun protection is key. While Penelope is from sunny Spain, she takes good care of her skin to avoid sun damage. Be sure to wear sunscreen, moisturize and put on a cute pair of sunglasses like the Bulgari Motif sunglasses Penelope has been seen wearing.

• Master the art of liquid liner. Penelope loves this dramatic look and will often wear it all day.

• Don't show off your chest if you're dressing like Penelope. Unlike other stars, Penelope doesn't show off her cleavage enough to worry about a nipple slip. Instead, she likes to show off her legs.
