Which of Penelope's Premiere Looks Is Most Fab?

Over the last week, Penelope Cruz has been turning up on red carpets around the globe — not to mention the cover of June Vogue — to promote the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, and leaving us no shortage of fantastic premiere style.

Over the last week, Penelope Cruz has been turning up on red carpets around the globe — not to mention the cover of June Vogue — to promote the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, and leaving us no shortage of fantastic premiere style. She kicked off the tour in a feathered and crystal embroidered black Marchesa for the movie's world premiere, then jetted to Moscow, where she debuted a velvet, knee-length Pucci. From there, it was only more glam in the form of a lacy, white Givenchy in London, followed by a pretty lavender embellished and tulle Marchesa gown in Cannes. Now, from the actress's latest stop in Munich, we get a fiery red Armani Privé. So after eying all of the couture — tell us, which look is Penelope's best?

Pippa Middleton's Style

How to Execute Jena Malone's Perfect Midi-Skirt Style

When we spotted Jena Malone out this weekend, we thought to ourselves, this is how you wear a midi skirt.

When we spotted Jena Malone out this weekend, we thought to ourselves, this is how you wear a midi skirt. The actress's spot on combination of a fitted, almost corset style top, midi skirt, and platforms is practically a no-fail formula for how to wear one of this season's hottest hemlines — the midi skirt. This is why it works:

  • The fitted bodice style top flatters your frame and defines your waist, while the full calf-length skirt floats away from the body and balances your top half.
  • It mimics natural feminine curves, and on a boyish frame helps to define and create those curves where the structured top meets the defined waistline of the skirt. You don't want to add bulk to your top half with a billowy blouse or one that covers your waist.
  • The length is generally an easy one to pull off, exposing the thinnest part of the leg. Adding a platform or wedge helps to elongate your legs and make you appear taller, which is key to executing this style. Especially if you're on the shorter side you'll want to avoid pairing the midi skirt with flats.
