“Chanel Girl”: Penelope Cruz in dresses from the famous French brand

Penélope Cruz has the rare opportunity to observe first-hand Chanel's haute couture efforts. "Over the years, I've been to different ateliers of the brand, visiting all these women creating dresses, and I've seen them many times the day before the show," she told British Vogue. “They never leave a dress without making it 100% perfect.” This meticulous attention to detail inspires the actress to wear Chanel again and again. From luxurious evening dresses on the red carpet to signature tweed suits at press conferences, all this beauty is provided by the fashion house created in 1910 by Coco Chanel. As its ambassador, Cruz exclusively uses new products and often wears things literally straight off the catwalk.

While it's not easy to trace her stunning Chanel fashion shows over the years, we try to do so in this review.
