The Passions of Penelope Cruz (Vanity Fair November 09)
Posted Oct 23, 2009
Currently starring in Broken Embraces, her fourth film with director Pedro Almodóvar, and coming soon in Rob Marshall’s big-name musical extravaganza, Nine - Vanity Fair's latest issue gets to the bottom (quite literally in that dress) of Penelope's stratospheric success.
In it's latest issue, Woody Allen is quoted as saying, “I don’t like to look at Penélope directly. It is too overwhelming.” Here at Swide, we couldn't agree more. Penelope looks hot to trot on Vanity Fair's November cover in a Dolce & Gabbana (unzipped) dress, photographed by fashion snappers Mert & Marcus.
Perhaps revealing why Penelope has achieved the impossible - men and women admiring her, Vanity Fair's interviewer Ingrid Sischy reveals that for her interview, Penelope suggested they meet at the Boathouse in Central Park, a very public venue.
"I imagined her being pursued by tourists and us having to get in a boat to be able to talk in private. So instead, we ended up sitting in my back garden in Greenwich Village. But the boat capsizing would have been a perfectly Almodóvar-esque sequel to our adventure years ago with the flatbed. Penélope making a splash yet again." said Sischy.
