Nobody does glamor like Penelope Cruz! I know she didn't take any real risks with this look, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she looks fantastic.

Penelope obviously knows how to work her curves. The cut of the dress makes her waist look enviably tiny, while making her look *ahem* bigger up top. The feather detail on the bust is a nice touch, bringing life to what could have been a boring gown, but the feathers near the bottom are even better because of their unexpected placement.

I also loved the fact that she wore her hair half up while the rest of the ladies at the Oscars went for the glam ponytails or the tightly pulled back up-do's. She stood out to me because she was just a little bit different than anyone else. That's not surprising, Penelope has never been afraid of standing out!
