Posted by Catherine Kallon

Arrival

Penélope arrived in Ferragamo, with the drapery giving the black dress enough interest and the gold hardware at the waist providing a subtle focal point. Black Ferragamo slingbacks, a Chanel bag and sunglasses completed her arrival look.

Photocall

It was back to Chanel for the Bunker photocall, where Penélope wore a black dress embellished with feathered floral details around the neckline.

I am thankful for the feathered flowers, which transform what would otherwise be a straightforward black dress, just as much as I am thankful that Penélope is no longer in her Chanel-tweed-suit-for-a-photocall phase.

Chanel sunglasses, earrings and a bag, along with Chanel Fine Jewellery, completed her look.
