Look who showed up looking soft and velvety? It's the gorgeous Penelope Cruz. The actress chose a body-hugging silhouette in black velvet Alaia — very lush. Check out the bronze halter piece; very unique. To add some color, she wore ruby earrings, but kept her clutch black. Are you loving or hating this?

1She always looks amazing on the red carpet
2it looks so blah
3Very "lush". She's too beautiful!
4It's boring and unflattering.
5she always comes up with classy elegant looks
6No
7Ick, no.
8Yuck. I HATE velvet.
9Velvet ? That's cool. She looks great.
10velvet? no. not to mention the top looks a bit big on her...
11I would love this if it weren't for the velvet.
12I hate the velvet. Plain and simple.
13She is gorgeous. But, yuck!, velvet?!
14The neck piece thingy I hate but I love the rest. I'm not sure if I could pull off all velvet. It's very beautiful on her.
15Wow, I don't usually like velvet, but she's working it well.
16Velvet sometimes works... but not with this dress design.
17I am a fan and think she is gorgeous, but would have loved to see her in color.
18there's no going wrong in alaia, fabulous
19Its funny ... I used to love velvet as a kid but I HATE the look of it now. It just looks tacky to me most of the time. In this case it just looks blah.
20YUCK, is that crushed velvet??
21I could probably buy this dress for $5 at the thrift store!
22lol
23your comments are all great here
i love the velvet, i love the neck detail
The dress is absolutely fabulous.
Azzedine Alaïa is unique.
24LOVE the shape, but I HATE velvet!
25I like it but I liked her style better when it was a bit less understated
26She never stood a chance with me, no matter what shape her dress is, I hate velvet with a fiery conviction, so it´s a big no from me
27i don't know why i just love this velvet thing going on lately! it normally makes me think of gross cheap costumes but it's coming on in an interesting vintage way lately. and her makeup couldn't compliment the look better.
28I like it.
29I usually like her dresses but I don't like this at all. Velvet? Yuck...also the neck reminds me a bit of an apron.
30yikes
31the top looks like it's fastened with a coat hanger
Velvet?!
