Penelope Cruz: "Broken Embraces" in Madrid

Back in her homeland of Spain, Penelope Cruz was spotted at a photo call for her new film “Broken Embraces” in Madrid earlier today (March 13).

The “Vanilla Sky” cutie looked super hot in a form-fitting red dress as she posed with director Pedro Almodovar as well as members of the cast.

Almodovar recently told press that he had to be very specific about what he wanted from Miss Cruz as far as aesthetics. And in the end it all paid off.

He said, "Before beginning the tests for my film I had already decided to avoid the disheveled styles, inspired by Sophia Loren, which suit Penelope so well. After seeing the photo from Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I was even more convinced about my decision.”

"I want to try not to repeat hairstyles that Penelope has worn in other films. I really enjoy reinventing her, discovering the number of characters that reside within our beautiful and versatile leading lady."
