Penélope Cruz is blessed with the kind of effortless, exotic beauty that inspires directors (Pedro Almodóvar, Woody Allen, and, most recently, Ben Stiller among them) and unhinges the hearts of audiences. With her made-for-smoky eyes and voluptuous mouth, her face is undoubtedly recognizable, but the Spanish actress is capable of chameleonic identity shifts, as evidenced in her many films. It’s the hair. Piece-y, voluminous updos coupled with a soulful stare characterize Cruz’s Raimunda, the glamorously raw center of Volver, while low-maintenance, loose waves transform the actress into a pious nun in All About My Mother. Broken Embraces showcases an impressive array of Cruz incarnations, all created through strategic wig placement and variations in fringe styling. Top her tousled hair with a black Panama hat and Vicky Cristina Barcelona’s careless spitfire, María Elena, is born. Her wispy Vanilla Sky bangs could serve as a beacon for a group of recent converts that includes Beyoncé, Alana Zimmer, Behati Prinsloo, and Catherine McNeil. And the side-swept, helmet-defying waves she sports as Valentina in the trailer for Zoolander 2 (out next month) are worthy of winning the trust of two male models. Whatever the character, Cruz imbues confidence that is as alluring and iconic as her covetable mane.
