From Red Carpet to Altar: Penelope Cruz
Filed under: Fashion, From Red Carpet to Altar, Bridal Beauty
For the bride who fears nothing more than wearing the same dress her cousin wore in her wedding a month ago, I present to you Penelope Cruz. Not everyone can pull of a train of pale pink feathers, but if you have the confidence to wear couture, Penelope sets a great example. The dress is fabulous for the following reasons:- The pale pink shade looks beautiful with her skin tone and allows her dark hair and eyes to stand out even more than usual. Pale shades like this are HOT this year in the bridal world, and for some brides, a pale pink or blue might be more flattering to her skin tone than a stark white.
- The top fits beautifully (to view the front, see the gallery below), showing off her curves and accentuating the flowing, feathery folds of her skirt. A good fit makes a HUGE difference in a strapless gown.
- She knows that the detail of the skirt is the main focus and doesn't try to overpower it with jewels around her neck or over-the-top makeup. She lets the dress speak for itself, and it's saying, "Get a load of ME!" If you have some fantastic detail on your wedding gown, play it up!
