It is no wonder that in the shot of her 2013 calendar for Campari, Cruz is spotted wearing several Alaia designs.  ”I liked so many of the dresses but I’m a huge fan of Alaia. I think he really knows the body of a woman.”, she tells Vogue Magazine.

A simple date with Penelope Cruz

If your definition of a date means getting a girl drunk before taking her home,  then Penelope Cruz is a cheap date as one does not have to dig deep into their pockets when having  date with this hot Spanish mama.
