Penélope Cruz Proves Tweed Will Never Go Out Of Style

If you think dressing up in tweed is boring, allow Penélope Cruz to prove you wrong.

The Academy Award–winning actress made a dazzling appearance to sit front row at Chanel's fall/winter 2023–24 runway show during Paris Fashion Week. As an ambassador of the iconic French luxury house, Cruz wore its signature tweed—with a playful twist.

Her tweed blazer dress embraced a feminine silhouette, with its deep V-neckline and flared miniskirt. Wispy white feathers tinged at the ends with hot pink or canary yellow adorned the bottom half of the dress, adding a colourful dimension to the navy blue piece. Other details included silver bejewelled buttons and a ruched black belt with a silver crystal buckle.

Cruz let the statement dress shine by keeping the rest of her ensemble to a classic black colour palette, carrying a quilted Chanel purse with a gold chain strap and wearing glossy pumps.

The actress is known for making fashion statements while clad in Chanel.

For instance, she attended last year's Tribeca Film Festival wearing a glistening one-shoulder evening gown from the brand. Sparkling black sequins covered the dress, and she further accessorised with the house's iconic quilted clutch, peep-toe heels, and a gold-and-diamond choker interwoven with black leather featuring Chanel's double-C logo.

On another occasion during the cinema festival, Cruz wore a hot pink Chanel look, consisting of a floor-length slipdress emblazoned with a square geometric pattern and a hot pink quilted box bag to match.
