For their 2013 calendar edition, Italian alcoholic brand Campari taps Spanish screen siren Penelope Cruz to front their iconic annual calendar — following in the footsteps of other exotic leading ladies such as Milla Jovovich, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes and Jessica Alba.
Photographer Kristian Schuller captures the 13-page spread, with the theme ‘Kiss Superstitions Goodbye’. Clad in exquisite crimson designs from Azzedine Alaia, Pucci, Salvatore Ferragamo and more, the ‘Twice Born‘ actress is seen confidently and stylishly overcoming ill-fated incidences such as breaking mirrors, walking under ladders, opening umbrellas indoors, etc.

Dynamic photography duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott lands another major September issue cover, snapping Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz for the September edition of W magazine.
Sporting sultry side-swept hair, the 38-year-old actress wears a Givenchy turtleneck, with Yves Saint Laurent gloves and a Lynn Ban 18k gold-plate and lapis necklace.
The ‘To Rome With Love‘ actress talks to the magazine about whether she prefers doing sex or death scenes.
“I don’t like dying. I die in Don’t Move [an Italian film, for which Cruz won the Italian academy award for best actress], and I can’t really look at it because it reminds me of my grandmother when she was very old. But sex scenes are very strange. Absurd, really”, Penelope shares with W.
Checkout her black and white editorial, styled by Edward Enninful, after the jump:

As award season sadly drew to an end, all roads led to the Kodak Theatre in California for the 84th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday (26 February). Legendary actress Meryl Streep finally broke her 30-year curse on the night, by winning her 3rd Oscar for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in ‘The Iron Lady‘. But it was silent film ‘The Artist‘ which made history by becoming only the first silent film to win ‘Best Picture’, since the ‘Wings’ did so during the awards’ inception 83 years ago. ‘The Artist’ also won Michel Hazanavicius ‘Best Director’ and French heartthrob Jean Dujardin ‘Best Actor.
In true Oscar style, the red carpet did not disappoint, many stars dared to take risks. Head below to checkout if those risks worked in their favour or against:
Glenn Close showed some cleavege in a Zac Posen strapless gown, but kept it age appropriate with a matching jacket.
Meryl Streep knew way before everyone that she was going to strike gold on the night, thus she opted for a gold Lanvin dress.
BEST-DRESSED: Pixie-haired Michelle Williams gave us the most fashion forward look in her retro-meet-modern burnt orange Louis Vuitton gown, with a peplum skirt.
WORST-DRESSED: Penelope Cruz got it all wrong in her Armani off-the-shoulder frock. Too matronly.
Rocking her natural her, Viola Davis added a pop of colour on the red carpet in an emerald green Vera Wang corset gown.

The 65th annual British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) — the British equivalent of the Oscars — took place tonight (12 February) at the Royal Opera House in the UK. ‘Beginners‘ actor Christopher Plummer, ‘The Help‘ actress Octavia Spencer as well as silent film ‘The Artist‘ continued on their winning streak this award season, in their respective categories. Jean Dujardin once again upset George Clooney by clinching ‘Best Actor’, with Meryl Streep denying Viola Davis a ‘Best Actress’ win.
