Penelope Cruz goes for a modern updo here with her hair pinned at the back and sleek, side-swept bangs in the front. Penelope usually keeps her hair medium to long length which suits her square-shaped face nicely. Here she softens up her wide jawline by wearing a longer, side swept fringe that sculpts around her face. The deep side part and side-sweeping bangs gives her forehead some coverage while creating a sexy peek-a-boo effect, while the rest of her hair is pinned at the back in a stylish twist. This is a great way for ladies with long, thick hair like Penelope to wear it up for the night without too much hassle.

Penelope has dark eyes and an olive skin tone which makes her suited to dark espresso brown tones and mahogany shades the best. Here, she goes for a multidimensional dark chocolate brown tone throughout. This gives her hair a natural looking finish which flatters her olive complexion and showcases her large,dark eyes. The end result is shiny, glossy locks that flatter her complexion.
