Penélope Cruz continued her La Bola Negra press tour on the 2026 BFI London Movie Competition, held on the Royal Competition Corridor this night.
The Chanel ambassador has been having loads of enjoyable experimenting with completely different types and labels all through this press tour. We noticed it at TIFF and San Sebastián, and now London has given us one other welcome change of route.
This time, Penélope dipped into the archives for a Ralph Lauren Assortment Spring 2014 swimsuit.
The tailoring is impeccable, but it surely’s the sample play that actually sells this look to me. The contrasting checks of the shirt and tie, alongside the dominate cuffs, add loads of allure and character to the traditional black swimsuit with out making the mixture really feel too busy.
I additionally suppose this was precisely the fitting search for a cold London night. The sharp tailoring, contrasting checks and beret have a distinctly British really feel, whereas the menswear-inspired styling provides simply sufficient eccentricity to make it an fascinating selection for an autumn movie pageant.
And I’m comfortable about two issues particularly. First, Penélope has returned to her darker hair color, which I’ve all the time most popular on her. Second, she opted for a black beret somewhat than the checked model we noticed on the runway. With a lot sample already taking place by means of the shirt, tie and cuffs, the black beret was a significantly better selection.
It’s a small styling change, however one which makes this archival look really feel even higher on Penélope than it did on the runway.
Garatti Jewellery accomplished her look.
