All eyes were on Penélope Cruz at the 79th annual Venice International Film Festival on Sunday, September 4th. The 48-year-old actress looked phenomenal as she walked the red carpet for the L’Immensità premiere, wearing a breathtaking black and purple dress from the Chanel Fall 2022 Haute Couture collection.
The long-sleeved embellished gown, which came complete with subtle padded shoulders, was a hit on the runway, but the Oscar-winning actress has made us fall in love with it in ways we never dreamed were possible! No wonder she has had such a longstanding and powerful relationship with the French fashion house!

"It was an immediate crush with this dress when I saw it in the show," the Parallel Mothers actress told Harper's Bazaar about why she chose the dress for the occasion. "I thought it was so special and different from everything I had seen and worn before – so unique. I love the long sleeves, the shoulder pads, the motif, that is incredible," she added.
Penélope accessorized the dress with some black heels, and even went for dark nail polish to tie everything together. The Vicky Cristina Barcelona actress went full glam for this head-turning look, as she wore her signature dark, seductive smoky eye makeup with a gorgeous coral pink lip, and had a flawless, glowing, sculpted complexion. Her long brunette locks were worn in a voluminous, straight down do, and were expertly tucked behind her ears to show off her almost-blinding diamond drop earrings. No attention to detail was spared with this look, and as always when Penélope walks a red carpet, we are in awe!
