Penelope Cruz Wore Chanel Haute Couture & Atelier Versace During The 2021 San Sebastian Film Festival

The 2021 San Sebastian International Film Festival kicked off on Friday (September 17) in Spain, where Penelope Cruz presented her new film, ‘Competencia official.’

She arrived, as we would expect wearing a Chanel look in classic black and white, and this theme continued to the photocall later in the day.

Her arrival look is pitch perfect for me.  But when it comes to the photocall, I’m not a fan of the matronly length of her jacket.  I wish it was shorter.

Penelope wore a Chanel Spring 2020 Haute Couture white tiered gown for the premiere, but the mood totally changed for the opening ceremony, where she wore a sultry Atelier Versace Spring 2021 dress.

I know that there has been much talk in the comments about wishing that Penelope would wear Atelier Versace – and I do agree.  I also believe that it’s a brand that’s better suited to her, but on this occasion, I prefer her in the white Chanel.

I think I would’ve been sold on the Atelier Versace lilac embellished mini dress with dripping crystal strands, had it been longer.

When it comes to the accessories, I don’t like either of the clutches she carried.   Both are way too bulky.
