Penelope Cruz knows how to make a statement on the red carpet. Usually the actress is all about drama but to attend the 60th San Seabstian Film Festival she was appropriately understated.
The silk red vintage Gianni Versace strapless gown looks chic and classic and not fussy and the pleat details helps add that little bit extra. To finish off the look, Cruz teamed the dress with a pair of red satin Salvatore Ferragamo sandals, which could easily have caused to her to blend into the red carpet, but strangely works.
Salvatore Ferragamo have a thing for supermodels. For their S/S12 ad campaign they booked Forbes' richest supermodel Gisele Bündchen and for their latest ads, they've opted for Forbes' number two, Kate Moss.
The campaign, shot in Berlin's Russian embassy by Mikael Jansson also stars Karmen Pedaru, who is currently fronting the Fall 2012 Gucci campaign, and Sean O'Pry. According to a release, the campaign is supposed to show 'a role-play between Kate Moss' unmistakable femininity, Karmen Pedaru's reserved beauty and Sean O'Pry's striking appeal, amidst a geometrical play of mirrors and fabrics that recreates the environ of a fairy tale place.'
The S/S12 campaign season was a strong one for Gisele Bundchen and among the three campaigns that she bagged was this one for Salvatore Ferragamo. To co-inside with the big unveiling of the campaign, the brand have just released this behind-the-scenes video of the campaign shoot shot by Mikael Jansson in Jamaica. Although we see Budchen in action, she doesn't speak but her co-star Noah Mills, who you will recognise from 'Sex and The City', does as well as Ferragamo's creative director, Massimliano Giornetti.
The February issues are hitting newsstands so the final round of S/S12 ad campaigns are out. The latest to the addition are Toni Garn for Ports 1961, Alice Dellal for Ermanno Scervino, Karmen Pedaru and Abbey Lee Kershaw for Gucci, Frida Gustavsson and Lindsey Wixson for Mulberry and Gisele appears in her third campaign this season for Salvatore Ferragamo.
Emma Stone is on a style high at the moment. Earlier on this week she stepped out in a red and pink Giambattista Valli dress and the risk paid off. She made another statement in this Tom Ford dress teamed with Christian Louboutin heels and a simple Salvatore Ferragamo clutch that she wore to attend the New York premiere of 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'.
Helen Millen really made a statement last night at the Academy Awards by taking a risk and wearing this Vivienne Westwood couture gown. The actress teamed it with this satin Ferragamo clutch and Sergio Rossi heels.
Last week Salvatore Ferragamo celebrated the launch of their new pillar fragrance, Attimo, with a star studded party at The Standard, New York. The hip event - designed and produced by Bronson van Wyck with music from DJ Kiss - brought the likes of Irina Lazareanu and Agyness Deyn, as well of course the face of the new fragrance itself, uber cool Californian model Dree Hemingway.
Attimo - which is Italian for a precious moment of "Gioia di vivere" (love of life) - celebrates the pleasure of living, and encapsulates Ferragamo's chic Italian essence, innate elegance, timeless glamour and irresistable seduction. The campaign for the perfume, featuring Dree Hemingway, was shot by renowned photographer Craig McDean in Paris, whilst Rome became the background for the commercial, shot by Paul Mignot. Attimo will launch on July 23rd, exclusively at Salvatore Ferragamo boutiques and Bloomingdales before launching nationwide to other retailers mid September.
