Promoting two movies in one week may have Hollywood newbies shaking at their knees but Penelope Cruz pulled it off with style to spare. This week, the seasoned siren stylishly appeared on one red carpet to the next for her two movies,
Vicky Cristina Barcelona and
Elegy. Even in jeans, Cruz looks classy and cool.

Just one night after her
big Vicky Cristina Barcelona premiere in LA, Penelope Cruz was in another long black dress for the
Elegy screening in NYC last night. She left the rest of her gorgeous costars, including Javier, behind for this one, but had plenty of glamorous party friends. Peter Sarsgaard had his costar and friend Patricia Clarkson filling in while Maggie was elsewhere.
Ben Kingsley has always been a man of many faces (and accents), but lately it seems like he's popping up in every movie (and every time with a different accent). I knew he was in
War, Inc. with John Cusack, and in one of my
Tribeca favorites,
The Wackness. And then when I checked out
the trailer for Elegy (which is mesmerizing only because Penelope Cruz is so smoking hot no matter what she does), there he was again!

Penelope Cruz looked chic in her purple shirt and
high waisted skirt earlier today at a Madrid press conference for her upcoming film
Elegy, and gorgeous in gold at the premiere. Things are pretty busy for Penelope these days — she's been showing off
her line for Mango and working on Broken Hugs, the latest film by her BFF Pedro Almodovar. Beyond all that, there have been rumors of an upcoming
wedding for her and Javier, though we're not sure how she'd find the time to plan it!

The stars were scattered all over the map this weekend, between the
Grammys and the
BAFTAs, but yet another set of celebs headed to Germany for the 58th Berlinale International Film Festival. Ryan Reynolds showed his pretty face and his co-star Hayden Panettiere glittered in gold to represent their movie
Fireflies in the Garden. As always, Penelope is beautiful in black, there for her film
Elegy while Diane Kruger looked stunning and thrilled to be on the red carpet on her home turf.
Penelope was looking super youthful with her new bangs on the set of her film Elegy in Vancouver this week. It's no mistake that she looks like a college co-ed, because in the film she plays a student who strikes the fancy of her professor, played by Ben Kingsley. Sounds like a recipe for drama.
