Penelope Cruz has signed up to be Chanel’s latest brand ambassador.
The actress follows in the footsteps of Margot Robbie, Keira Knightley, Vanessa Paradis, Pharrell Williams and Kristen Stewart in becoming a representative for the French luxury brand.
Penelope will front Chanel’s next cruise campaign, which will be shot by creative director Karl Lagerfeld.
“It’s such an iconic brand and Karl is a genius, and I’ve been admiring everything he’s done since I was a little girl, so it’s such a pleasure working with him,” the 44-year-old enthused in an interview with WWD. “He’s like the king of fashion and we had a really, really interesting photoshoot, so to be in front of his camera is an adventure.”
The Oscar winner has had a longstanding relationship with the fashion house and has worn its designs at prestigious events such as the Academy Awards and Cannes Film Festival.
To honor her newfound position with the brand, Penelope made an appearance at Chanel’s haute couture show in Paris on Tuesday (03Jul18).
The Spanish star has previously designed clothing for Mango in collaboration with her sister Monica, as well as handbags for Loewe and a lingerie collection for Agent Provocateur.
In addition, Penelope recently revealed that her latest venture will see her team up with Swarovski to create a sustainable jewellery line perfect for the hottest A-list events.
“So excited to have launched my #atelierswarovski Red Carpet collection with swarovski created diamonds (sic). Thank you @nadja.swarovski!” she captioned an Instagram photo of her posing with the Austrian businesswoman. “It’s such a pleasure working with you (kiss emoji) #sustainablejewelry #conciousluxury.”
A representative for the crystal company added that the collaboration with Penelope highlights Atelier Swarovski’s “commitment to making all its fine jewelry pieces with responsibly sourced gold.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd.
