You know what an Almodvar premiere means: lots of rad dames, Penelope Cruz, and enough eccentricity to keep things interesting! Los Abrazos Rotos, which premiered last night at Madrid’s Proyecciones cinema, was no exception.
The Good:
As Pedro Almodovar demonstrates, it’s hard to take your eyes off Penelope Cruz in classic bombshell mode.
Chic runs in the family! Monica Cruz balances her mini’s brevity with a hint of power suit!
Dig Blanca Romero’s demure exercise in pure Euro-chic.
How do we feel about the return of the modified empire? I’d say when it’s done as deftly as Veronica Echegui does, carry on.
Okay, maybe controversial, but I think Veronica Sanchez pulls off these tricky proportions flawlessly…and looks super-cool.
The Bad:
Rosana Pastor’s aggressive shoes, with the skirt’s tricky length, results in a big, Cleoptra-inspired mass of confusion!
Bibi Andersen’s is another case where I actually think the dress could look seriously cool with a more subdued shoe. These shoes are many things; “subdued” is not one of them.
Macarena Gomez is triple-axle ready!

Toni Acosta: funky and fun, or matador madness?
