With her classic doe-eyed beauty and sheer talent for acting, the Spanish maven has made a name for herself in fashion and film. Serving as a muse for Woody Allen, and most importantly Pedro Almodóvar, she has a longstanding reputation for photographing in an exotic and beautiful way. This editorial is no exception; in the black and white spread she exudes glamour as she sports striking [Mikimoto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mikimoto-x-chrome-hearts) pearls, a Patricia Underwood beret and a sultry Agent Provocateur corset. Captured by superstar photography duo Mert & Marcus, the story has a hazy finish reminiscent of dream like surrealism. With styling by Edward Emniful, the spread stands out in a sea of stunning covers fighting for fashionistas' attention. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cinematic Beauty Trend:** Opportunity for fashion and beauty industries to develop makeup and beauty products to appeal to consumers inspired by classic old Hollywood, film noir, and dreamlike surrealism. - **Pearl Jewelry Trend:** Opportunity for designers and jewelers to create pearl accessories and jewelry reminiscent of the elegance and glamour of classic Hollywood. - **Exotic and Authentic Fashion Trend:** Opportunity for fashion designers to create collections inspired by the unique cultural styles of exotic locations, similar to the way Penelope Cruz embodies these in her work. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** Fashion and luxury brands can create a new product line that is inspired by the fashion statement of Penelope Cruz in the feature. - **Beauty Industry:** Cosmetic and beauty brands can create new products based on the retro makeup and dreamy, cinematic appeal of the spread. - **Jewelry Industry:** Jewelry companies can capitalize on the pearl trend that has been showcased in the editorial, by creating new pieces that present an elegant style. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Actress-Backed Handbag Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galleria-handbag.md) - [Star-Studded Fashion Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-2025-campaign.md) - [Star Studded Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-studded.md) - [Exploratory Rose-Centered Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eva-green.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Cinematic Thriller-Inspired Runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-fw-2024.md)
