Penelope Cruz showed off her effortlessly chic sense of style as she posed at the photocall for the new movie L’immensita on Sunday afternoon at the Venice Film Festival.
The actress looked gorgeous in a bold print dress as she promoted the new drama, which is set in 1970s Rome and sees the talented star play a mother of three contending with a violent husband.
Penelope, 48, showed off her slender physique in the halter-neck gown, highlighting her toned and tanned shoulders.
The red, white and black number featured a bold flag print while a black sash accentuated her trim waist.
Penelope is in Venice to promote Italian director Emanuele Crialese’s new drama L’Immensità.
The movie sees the actress’ character end up in a psychiatric institution, and during a press conference on Sunday Penelope spoke out in the realities of domestic violence.
‘I don’t think my character is crazy at all,’ Cruz said, according to Variety.
‘She is trapped in her family. Trapped in her home, in her body. In the situation in which she finds herself living. She doesn’t have a plan B. There is no escape,’ she added.
‘She’s not crazy at all. She’s oppressed in many different ways. And she simply can’t take it anymore.

‘There are many women around the world trapped in their homes, who pretend in front of their children. They try to pretend that things aren’t that bad. They do this to survive.’
