Penélope Cruz brought archival tailoring to the red carpet at the 70th BFI London Film Festival on October 8, wearing a black Ralph Lauren pantsuit with contrasting checks and an undone plaid tie. The Oscar-winning actor attended the gala screening of her latest drama, La bola negra, at London's Royal Festival Hall, choosing a look from the designer's Spring 2014 ready-to-wear collection.
As reported by Harper's Bazaar, the ensemble was styled by Anna Castan and paired classic menswear-inspired tailoring with more playful details. Rather than relying on elaborate embellishment, the look drew attention to the interplay between its structured silhouette, layered patterns and carefully selected accessories.
