Penelope Cruz in Chanel
This is a very graceful and chic and lovely Chanel. I agree that Kristen Stewart clearly bears some responsibility for what she accepts from them; I also think Kristen seems like someone who'd be like, "Sure, the weirder the better, why not," whereas I suspect Penelope is VERY CLEAR about what nonsense she will not entertain.
This is also Chanel, which I suspect I did not need to tell you, as her purse is not subtle. It's perfect for a photocall. She looks nice, and very probably will get to work more of this Chanel during awards season.
Hailee Steinfeld in 2006 Armani
Hailee is there as one of the faces of Armani Beauty, and interestingly, I'm noticing that Armani is giving out archival stuff -- something it has done periodically in the past, and which I think is a GREAT idea that more brands should regularly do. Now, I do not LIKE this particular one -- it looks like a Nicole Kidman reject that I also might have yawned at on her -- but I'm glad they're going down that road.
Nicholas Hoult in Armani
I hope he is ALSO an Armani Beauty face, because dang.
Chase Stokes
This kid is. He's on "Outer Banks" on Netflix. An Armani campaign is quite a coup, considering. He also looks like Surfer Andrew Rannells.
Barbara Palvin in 2011 Armani
I am both fascinated by this, and think it looks like her stomach is sticking out its giant tongue at us.
Eugenia Silva in 2020 Armani
I am fascinated and confused. I think there are at least two better dresses hinted at in here.
Antonio Banderas
I forgot to get a photo of him at the premiere. Rest assured he looked like Antonio Banderas, but in a fancier black suit. Here, his directive was clearly Heartthrob In Teen Show Leaning Against The Lockers.
