Penelope Cruz flashes her pert bust and lithe legs in glitzy black mini dress

Penelope Cruz flashes her pert bust and lithe legs in glitzy black mini dress as she dares to bare at Spanish cinema awards

She’s guaranteed to lead the glamour on any red carpet.

And Penelope Cruz and her alluring style ensured she stole the spotlight once again as she attended the Feroz Cinema Awards in her native Madrid, Spain on Tuesday evening.

The Hollywood siren was bound to set pulses racing as she flashed the flesh in a black mini-dress at the event, which is the Spanish equivalent to the Golden Globe Awards.

The 41-year-old actress displayed her svelte physique in the skimpy frock which featured a sweetheart neckline that teased a glimpse of her pert bust.

Cascading down the centre of the tiny garment was a racy lacy fabric which was adorned with sparkling embellishments to make for a particularly glitzy finish.

The design also boasted a trail comprised of the same lace fabric to make for a glamorous finish, while Penelope offered herself some added heel height by slipping her feet into black peep-toe stilettos.

Her brunette locks were worn in a sleek style at the crown, while the rest of her glossy tresses were styled into elegant loose waves.

The Blow star’s make-up look was appropriately dramatic with a shimmering gold eyeshadow, kohl lined eye and heavily bronzed cheeks.

Penelope opted for a far more demure style on her way into the event however as she banished the evening chill beneath a white trench coat which conceded just inches above the floor.

The show-stopping look will no doubt be the first of many for the fashionista as she is set to dazzle a lot more on the red carpet this year given that she has three films set for release, including The Queen of Spain, The Brother’s Grimsby and Zoolander 2.

The latter will see Penelope join a slew of additional A-list talent such as Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller and more. She’ll play the character of Valentina.

The actress is also set to join husband Javier Bardem, 46, in the movie Escobar this year.

The mother of Leo, four, and Luna, two, will portray Virgina Vallejo, a journalist who falls in love with drug lord Pablo Escobar, played by the star’s real-life husband.
